Party-Based RPG Expeditions: Samurai Officially Announced for PC

Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Campfire Cabal officially announced the party-based RPG Expeditions: Samurai on June 6, 2026.

Scheduled for a 2026 release on PC via Steam, the game transports players to Sengoku-era Japan following a landing aboard a Dutch vessel.

Players take on the role of the captain of a motley crew of privateers, navigating the complex politics of a nation embroiled in a pivotal civil war.

The narrative serves as a historical reimagining where the protagonist arrives in the year 1600, predating the real-world historical figure William Adams.

Every choice made during the campaign carries significant weight, potentially altering the fate of the crew and the future of Japan itself.

The title features eight unique companions, each offering deep personal stories that can lead to friendships, rivalries, or romantic involvements.

Combat is designed as a fast-paced turn-based system where movement and attacks can occur simultaneously to maintain a dynamic flow.

Strategic gameplay elements include the use of stealth, gadgets, and a variety of weapons ranging from pirate gear to traditional Japanese armaments.

For the first time in the series, the game includes a drop-in and drop-out cooperative mode, allowing two players to experience the branching story together.

In this cooperative mode, players can coordinate tactical maneuvers or even compete for the influence and affection of their companions.
