This version features Naomasa Ii as a playable character, an improved Story Mode which focuses on the various characters, Survival Mode, upgrade to action balance, cut-scenes and character development system.

An enhanced version of the games titled Samurai Warriors 4 DX was released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan in 2019, and for Windows (via Steam) worldwide with Japanese and English support in May 2024. This edition contains more than 150 previously released DLC from Samurai Warriors 4, including costumes, weapons, customization parts, scenarios, and background music.
