Samurai Warriors 4-II (戦国無双 4-II, Sengoku Musou 4-II) is the revised edition of Samurai Warriors 4. Its sales pitch is to present the "perfect version" of the title, words which are reminiscent to Chronicle 2nd's marketing. The producer adds that it is "another side" of the same game, neither a continuation nor an Xtreme Legends expansion. It is the last title to celebrate the series's tenth anniversary.

The first 100,000 people to reserve the game will receive an Ii-themed microfiber towel. New players will receive an idol outfit for Naotora Ii. The Treasure Box edition includes a picture frame, clock, 56 character cards, and original soundtrack CD. The Gamecity Set includes concept artwork and rare merchandise.

Changes[]

  • Hyper attacks will be more effective when ally morale is high. Certain areas on the battlefield are fortified to inhibit these attacks by making units' collision boxes more dense (allowing them to hinder the travel path of a Hyper Attack input).
  • The enemy AI has been redesigned to match player character movements, increasing recovery frequency and reducing the franchise's extended combos, but only outside of Rage mode activation.
  • Maps appear to have friendlier camera work for horse riding than before.
  • Characters increase attributes by using Strategy Tomes on a grid in a manner resembling Conquest Mode. Equipment and heirlooms have been dissolved in favor of having characters learn weapon skills and weapon attributes on their grids. Skills have a maximum level 3 limit. Attributes are now Skills and operate in a manner similar to the base game.
  • Strategy Tomes are random battlefield drops or items in the shop. Winning or losing a battle refreshes the shop selection.
  • Every character has an unique "Epiphany Skill" unlocked at Level 30; these skills grant an unique effect when they are used in battle and can be used by any character.
  • DLC weapons now serve as character's secondary rare weapon, allowing players to modify attack power and skill properties through Compatibility Bonuses, with maximum weapon level 50 and rank 5☆.
  • Mounts can be strengthened to have additional attributes using a method similar to weapons.
  • Edit characters from the vanilla title can be transferred into this game through save data. They can be used in Free Mode and Survival Mode.
  • Offline and online co-op is available for all modes.
  • Event scenes have rotatable 3D backdrops and revised special effects.
  • A handful of new music tracks are in the game, which includes Naomasa's theme song "Faith", Shimazu's rendition of Kyūshū's "Western Conflict", Tokugawa's rendition of Komaki-Nagakute's "Cherry Blossoms", and a new rendition of Honnōji's "Destiny" for Matsunaga.
  • Downloadable content includes costumes, mounts, weapon skins, and scenarios.

Players cannot directly transfer their 'Samurai Warriors 4' save data into this game, but having it at the start rewards 10,000 gold and 20 Strategy Tomes.
