Expeditions: Samurai Announced
THQ Nordic has announced Expeditions: Samurai, a new entry in the Expeditions history-based tactical RPG series.

It is set to release on Steam Early Access this summer, with a full PC release planned for 2027.
Expeditions: Samurai is set in Japan around the year 1600, shortly before the implementation of Japan’s isolationist policies. It takes place in a history where navigator William Adams never becomes Japan’s first European Samurai on account of the player character arriving first.

The game includes eight companion characters, each with their own personal stories and bond with the player that can become friendship, rivalry, or romance. Combat is the game is turn-based, but said to be more dynamic than previous entries, including simultaneous actions, stealth, gadgets, ambushes, and mix of pirate and Japanese weaponry. It will also include drop-in/out co-op multiplayer.
