Berserk Warriors will be based on Kentarou Miura’s Berserk manga series, which has been in publication since 1989. The series currently spans 37 collected volumes.

This is the latest “Warriors” cross-over from Koei Tecmo, who previously released the following:

  • Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage
  • Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2
  • Hyrule Warriors (The Legend of Zelda)
  • Arslan: The Warriors of Legend (The Heroic Legend of Arslan)
  • Attack on Titan

Koei Tecmo released numerous screenshots, and showed off a teaser for the game at E3. You can check these out below:
