Musou Stars Adds Marie Rose, Honoka, Rio, and Zhou Cang to the Roster

A number of new characters have been officially announced as part of Musou Stars‘ roster. Koei Tecmo has revealed that Marie Rose and Honaka from Dead or Alive, Rio from Super Black Jack, and Zhou Cang from Dynasty Warriors will be joining the rest of the previously announced characters as playable fighters in the title.

While she may appear small and cute her master of the military martial art Systema allows her to trick her opponents with fluid movements and attavcks. Honoka wields a mysterious power that hides beneath her gentle exterior and she possesses the ability to memorize almost any move she sees but keeps this a secret from the rest of the fighters. Rio is called the Goddess of Victory thanks to her skill and good luck and Zhou Cang was a subordinate of the Yellow Turbans and Zhang Bao who is extremely swift-footed and quit strong while also being a skilled commander.

Musou Stars is currently set to be released on March 2nd in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita and you can check out the new screenshots for these characters below.

Persona 5 Trailers Introduce Three More Confidants

Atlus USA has taken another brief break from introducing the main characters of Persona 5 to focus on another set of three “confidants” that will be helping out the Phantom Thieves as they play through the game. These characters are ones that players will be able to build and maintain relationships with and obtain special skill bonuses, useful services, and more.

Hifumi Togo, Sadayo Kawakami, and Toranosuke Yoshida are introduced this time around and you can check out their intros and details below.

Hifumi Togo

It’s never a good idea to go out Phantom Thieving without some sort of plan, but luckily the team can learn all about strategy from the brilliant, and beautiful, Shogi player Hifumi Togo. Spending time playing Shogi with Hifumi will help develop useful abilities to use during battle, such as swapping out members mid-fight, fleeing from ambushes, and more! There’s a lot to learn from a grandmaster such as herself, plus it’s amusing to watch her get insanely competitive during games.

Sadayo Kawakami

Sadayo Kawakami is the protagonist’s homeroom teacher at Shujin Academy… who also secretly moonlights as a maid. She doesn’t want her side job to be made public, so to keep it a secret she strikes a deal with the protagonist: She’ll let him slack off in her class in exchange for his silence. While this may not seem like a big deal, IT TOTALLY IS! Having to freedom to slack off gives the protagonist extra time for important endeavors like reading books, creating infiltration tools, or sleeping. Oh, and she can cook and clean for you if you pay for it (maid outfit included).

Toranosuke Yoshida

Finding an honest politician is like finding a needle in a haystack, but Toranosuke Yoshida is a public servant who genuinely cares for the people. He may not have the most successful track record, but he’s a humble man who certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Toranosuke can be found at Shibuya Station Square giving rousing sermons about changing the corrupt system and protecting Japan’s future. While his words fall on mostly deaf ears, the protagonist can spend time with him to learn the invaluable art of speech. Developing a silver tongue will unlock negotiations skills in battle, such as being able to ask for more money or items from enemies.
