Koei Tecmo has announced a mobile Nobunaga’s Ambition game, looking to be dubbed Nobunaga’s Ambition: Hadou, an MMO simulation game. It’s either a new title or a rebrand, as besides the different name, Tencent Games nor Mobcast is mentioned. If you hadn’t yet heard, Tencent Games was to make a mobile Nobunaga’s Ambition based on Sphere of Influence, while Mobcast’s was based on Tendou. To be fair, the Tendou game was apparently slated for 2023.
Besides the announcement, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Hadou is also accepting applications for closed beta participants, limited to around 5000 players, with 2500 players each for Android and iOS. Applications will be closed on 13 June 2022, 23:59 JST. The survey will ask if you’ve played the other series’ names, or other similar titles. Successful applicants will be informed around 17 June 2022, 10:00 JST. The minimum specifications are listed as:
- iOS: OS 11.2.1 or later, iPhone 6s / iPad mini 5 or later models
- Android: OS 8.0 or later, 2GB RAM or higher
For fans of the series, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Shinsei will be coming out 21 July 2022, though it isn’t officially localized in English, despite the description on its Steam page. Here’s Shinsei‘s overview for reference:
“Living Officers” that think and act! Experience a “REAL sengoku period!”
Players are supported by subordinates that act on their own judgement.
The “Fief” system allows you to capture land and give it to your subordinates to manage. Divvy up and parcel out the beautifully detailed sengoku Japan as you like, and make it prosper!
The game sports over 2200 characters, the greatest number in the series, from famous warriors to lovely maidens. Come together with highly individualistic subordinates and move history!
This is the latest entry of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series, the greatest Japanese historical strategy franchise, released in celebration of the 40th anniversary of KOU SHIBUSAWA.Go beyond the dream that Nobunaga Oda could not fulfil! Go and unify the land!
