New DLC adds four new characters, new modes, special outfits and more content!
Hertfordshire, 4th July 2025 – The 1 vs. 1,000 action of WARRIORS: Abyss is about to get more intense than ever as KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force announced that characters from Team NINJA’s popular franchise are now playable in the roguelite hack’n’slash action game. As well as introducing four new characters, including the ever-popular Ryu Hayabusa, the new update adds new features, special costumes and more. WARRIORS: Abyss is now available as a digital-only title on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam®.
This free update adds master ninja Ryu Hayabusa and other popular characters from the same universe, Ayane, Rachel and Momiji, as playable and summonable heroes. Each ninja possesses their own unique abilities, such as Ryu Hayabusa’s “Solitary Master Ninja” or Ayane’s “Mugen Tenshin Style”, allowing players to increase the speed or attack of the heroes depending on the emblems they are equipped with. By combining the skills of the characters together, players can develop new strategies and create new formations, as fast and deadly as ninjas.
In addition, for greater replayability, players wishing to defeat Gouma again without going through Hell can select the new “Training Hall” mode. They will be able to challenge Gouma under various conditions, and up to the highest traversal level achieved in normal mode, to receive valuable rewards such as Karma Embers and Records of Sin, while increasing their cumulative level cap.
For players looking for a more intense challenge on their journey through Hell, the new “Void of Empathy” mode will put their skills to the test. In this race against the clock, players must get as far as they can before time runs out. By defeating formidable enemies on the way, they will earn time to continue their journey and receive rewards based on their performance.
Furthermore, a new “Transcendence” feature has been implemented. Although this new feature requires a lot of Karma Embers, it allows players to significantly enhance their heroes by adding new emblems and alters the effects of their unique strategies.
Lastly, two DLC costume packs are also available for purchase, including the “MASTER NINJA Formal Costume Set” and the “MASTER NINJA Legacy Costume Set”. These new additional costumes can be selected after completing the tutorial.
WARRIORS: Abyss is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam® in standard, Deluxe and Hack’n’Dash editions. The game features Japanese voices and texts in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
About WARRIORS: ABYSS
Set in the floors of a randomly generated hell, players battle through waves of enemies from all directions as they delve into the abyss where the arch-villain, Gouma, awaits. Along the way, players meet new characters and find items to select from to strengthen their team. These selections can be combined to unleash powerful effects, allowing for a variety of strategic approaches. Since the characters and items will change with each playthrough, players will need to craft new strategies in order to find success. WARRIORS: Abyss introduces a new way to play a WARRIORS title by combining the exhilarating feeling of 1 vs. 1,000 action with roguelite elements – such as randomly generated stages and items, and enhancing player strength through choices – allowing for a different experience with each playthrough while also encouraging countless hours of replayability.
