Well it looks like Koei is finally tiring of the Romance of The Kingdoms and Sengoku era's and has decided that it's Musou engine can be used with other popular franchises to bring a new twist to the whole beating up a 1000 mans theme. Gundam was the first start, but I can't think of a much better decision to carry the trend with than to marry it with Hokuto No Ken which a franchise literally centred around one big beefy guy beating up countless other big beefy guys. Supposedly they are also doing a Troy Musou now too which will carry the heroic legends like Achilles, Paris and Hector among others. Man Koei, I know we've had a rough relationship, but if you keep hitting all my weakpoints like gar heroes like this then I think soon all might be forgiven. Barring a crappy game of course.
Spoiler for Some other screenshots and character:
Ken with Battle Aura
Rei and Ken square off
Raoh just looking menacing as always
YURIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I'm kind of surprised not to see Shin yet, but I guess he'll show up in a future screenshot.
