CONQUER AND UNIFY JAPAN UNDER ONE BANNER IN NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: AWAKENING COMPLETE EDITION, NOW AVAILABLE!

Today, KOEI TECMO and developer Kou Shibusawa launched their military and historical simulation, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition, on Nintendo Switch™ 2 and PlayStation®5. Originally released in July 2023, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening celebrated the franchise’s 40th anniversary by inviting players to attempt Nobunaga Oda’s unfulfilled ambition to unify Japan through a series of escalating war strategies and diplomacy.



 

NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition includes all the downloadable content, (excluding collaborative DLC), improved 3D rendering quality, 4k resolution* and mouse support**. Additionally, the Complete Edition enhances the overall gameplay experience with six new scenarios, new traits, and a new mode called “Decisive Battles” where powerful clans fight for each other’s domains in large-scale battles.

In the new “Decisive Battles” mode, players will lead their clan in a fight for dominance against neighbouring clans, where they will fight in two opening assaults whose outcome will have an impact on the final decisive battle. Players will have six months before each battle to carefully plan their strategies and get their troops in order before launching the next assault. Victory will result in the complete occupation of the opponent’s domain, making it a true showdown that could determine the fate to unify Japan.

The Complete Edition also introduces six new scenarios, both historical and hypothetical such as “The Birth of Nobunaga”, which features key characters as Nobunaga’s father, Nobuhide Oda, and cunning strategist Tsunehisa Amago. The historical scenario “Fateful Clash” takes players right after the Honnō-ji incident in June 1582, when Mitsuhide Akechi betrayed and attacked Nobunaga, while the hypothetical scenario “Absence of Great Conflicts” explores a world where the Ōnin War never occurred and the Oda clan’s rise continued smoothly. These new scenarios will allow players to experience a wide variety of Sengoku period situations, blending historical and fictional narratives.

NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition is now available digitally on Nintendo Switch™ 2 and PlayStation®5. The new “Decisive Battles” mode and new traits will be added to the original NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening game via free updates. The new scenarios will be available as paid DLC for the original version.
NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition features Japanese voices and English texts only.
