Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence is releasing on September 4th and we're lucky enough to get some new screen shots and a trailer ahead of its launch. Set in 15/16th century Japan, this version of the simulation title has us playing as Daimyo, a feudal lord of the Sengoku era who will fight for the great ideal of uniting the war-ridden country under one rule, thus becoming the first Shogun. Three different types of game modes will be available to choose from in Creation, Diplomacy and War.
- Creation they are called to build up their clan’s standing, deal with everyday issues like building farms & roads, growing the economy, entering trade agreements with neighbouring fiefs etc.
- Diplomacy is a playground for cultivating diplomatic relationships, employing spies, creating alliances, gaining the loyalty of subordinate officers and growing in strength via marriage, oaths of fealty and treaties.
- War players must train troops, level up officers according to the clan’s needs, fortify defences, strategically position armies and attack (or defend) to further their goals and grow their dominion.
In each mode, you may choose from a classic, historical figure to control or start a new with a completely custom and edited character. Historically only available in Japan, Sphere of Influence will launch in the west for the first time on both PS4 on September 4th and digitally on PS3.
