The game "Sengoku BASARA 3" was localized and renamed "Sengoku BASARA: Samurai Heroes" returning the original names to the characters thanks to the popularity of the anime series.

    Thanks for the information. I'm a huge fan of sengoku basara so I was expecting a 4, but I was afraid they drop all the old characters. The best is sengoku basara 2 heroes. Wish it will be like this one.

    Thanks

      My personal belief is that it might be a story about Masamune's dad. I would like that to happen. Historically it was really sad because Masamune had to kill his dad after he had been kidnapped. Who knows!? I think it will be awesome.
