Hamster’s Console Archives to Bring 1998 Koei SRPG Oda Nobunaga Den to PS5 and Switch 2

Hamster has announced that its Console Archives series of classic game revivals will include the SRPG Oda Nobunaga Den (织田信长传). The release is set for November 12 on PS5 and Switch 2 at 800 yen (about 33 yuan).

Koei, now Koei Tecmo, first published the game in 1998. It follows Oda Nobunaga’s life and recreates historical campaigns including Okehazama, the capture of Inabayama, and the Battle of Nagashino. Decisions in battle can open branches that leave recorded history, including an alternate ending in which Nobunaga escapes the fire at Honnō-ji.

Twenty-two characters appear, among them Oda retainers, daimyo, and scholars. Players direct their forces through intelligence and strategy.

The Console Archives version adds button and display customization plus save and load at any time. The series focuses on faithful ports of classic console games for current hardware.
