I don't think this has been posted anywhere, so here it goes;

Apparently from Kessen 2, the final character it Himiko


Famitsu Scan Page 1
Famitsu Scan Page 2

Apparently, The Shaman Queen Himiko is recorded in various ancient histories, dating back to 3rd century CE China, 8th century Japan, and 12th century Korea.

She appears wierd, so she's already going to have a nice large fanbase

Also, another bomb to drop...

Nothing! haha

No, I kid, the bomb is a good one. Something which I'm sure we'll all enjoy, and the one thing which will make people want it more. Yes, it has been confirmed that characters have a second costume! And not a pallette swap either!

According to our good friends at Koeiwarriors Zhuge Liang has his DW4 costume and Gracia has an all-new goth type dress up. Let's just hope that the 2nd costumes for the gods are good

Also confirmed are two new stages; Yamatai and Fire River (seen near the bottom of scan page 2)

Well, it's apparent that (unless if he is hidden) there is no Susanoo (Maybe in WO3 )

Still, the mass of new characters and modes make up for this one. It seems Koei can do some things right

There is hope people, there is hope

Himiko?!
-_- the black spaces in the silouette really tricked me...
I should've guessed that Himiko would be in Orochi
(Mah first CAW in SW1 was Himiko)

I'll just upload the two other Famitsus. (I had some trouble loading them -_-)



Looks like Himiko have more than just two of those floating things... and her moveset seems to be very... flashy





I really wanted Masamune Date SW1 style

Nice to see a new female although i thought it was a boy. Her weapons looks rather interesting and there are rumours saying she and Da Ji becomes best friends

And is that two new levels?

Oh man, Himiko is the nicest looking of the new characters in my opinion! I'll have a team of her, Kojiro Sasaki and Gracia in her alt. costume, ripping Orochi a new one the first thing I do!

I think, for the most part, people argued it was a boy because they wanted it to be young Susanoo (Who, if included, would have made the story a lot better)

And that interporative drawing was suspiciously accurate
When I first compared it to the actual character I couldn't believe whoever drew it hadn't seen Himiko before

I thought it would be a boy because of the Shilouette, but I'm actually glad it's another girl. Himiko never occurred to me to be honest, but now i think on it she makes a good addition. I like the look too, looking forward to trying her out.

PWND I WAS RIGHT!! I knew it was a girl the whole time. Himiko was cool in Kessen creepy lady now she looks much better

Himiko! One of my vague predictions... at least I was right about being a girl....

In Kessen II she was called "Himiko, the Wei Magician"



She's primarily an ally of Wei so perhaps she'll join their roster for future DW?

I hope it is, I sorta can picture her with those balls in that costume.

She looks awesome! But, looks like there will be one more character...hopefully..., since, the right slot, in the website, still has nothing. I hope that Susanoo or someone that is good, fills up that space.
