Musou OROCHI Z (無双OROCHI Z) is a game that combines Warriors Orochi and Warriors Orochi 2 in a single game. It was tentatively titled Warriors Orochi: The Collective for international releases, but localization efforts have been canceled. The new characters, costumes, and voice option were made available in various regions as the PSP port for Warriors Orochi 2.
Changes[]
The game has 12 new stages, two new movies, more cutscenes, character interactions, and new songs. The soundtrack, including Orochi's Theme, has been updated. Graphics have been upgraded, with no black overlays on the screen. 2P mode allows players to choose their own team of characters. Minor changes to maps, generals, songs, and events have occurred, such as replacing Toshiie Maeda in the Samurai story.
Treasures in Warriors Orochi Z have been rearranged and requirements for retrieving them have been adjusted. Dream Stages from Warriors Orochi 2 are now slightly lenient, with many stages requiring only character unlocking. Story mode stages are chronologically marked, with Warriors Orochi acting as the first eight stages. Most characters now have eight images for their individual gallery, with Dodomeki, Gyūki, and Orochi X lacking image galleries. Soldier types have been modified to include heavy samurai units and base captains have more guards. Four possible costumes now exist for each character.

Bugs and Glitches[]
A lot of them were fixed with patch updates but here are the notable ones that still remain.
- Disappearing Benkei
- Have Benkei equipped with a weapon that has "Highflier" on it (this upgrade allows characters to jump during charge attacks). Perform his C2 where he digs underneath the ground. At the moment he's underneath the ground, try to jump cancel out of the charge. The timing is really difficult to nail and the frame of error is short. If it's performed quick enough, the sound effect for Benkei rising out of the ground will play but his character model will not be visible. He can still be controlled as though he has reemerged but it may take some time to get used to his invisibility.
- No weapon for 2nd player
- This glitch only affects the character cutscenes during battle. If the 2nd player triggers the stage's movie event between characters, their characters will have the 1st player's costumes and will have no weapon visible during the movie.
