戦国BASARA3 or Sengoku BASARA 3 is the latest main game to the Sengoku BASARA series by Capcom and was released for PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii in July 29, 2010. This game was also released overseas under the name Sengoku BASARA: Samurai Heroes. It has recieved an expansion entitled Sengoku Basara 3 Utage.
Being released in the new generation of game consoles, Sengoku BASARA 3 received an expected graphical update, which is completely noticeable from the highly improved character's CG quality. Capcom even incorporated AniFace, a high-tech lip syncing system, to make the mouths move.
Contrary to the previous games where each characters have different story backgrounds, in Sengoku BASARA 3 there is a common storyline background for all characters. Such as Imagawa Yoshimoto and Azai Nagamasa's deaths during Oda Nobunaga's conquest campaign, then Nobunaga's death at the hands of a traitorous Akechi Mitsuhide. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces defeated Mitsuhide at Yamazaki and then proceeded to unify Japan under his steel fists. Just about when Hideyoshi was about to expand his campaign to world conquest, Tokugawa Ieyasu staged a rebellion, which ultimately ended in Hideyoshi's demise and starts the events that lead up to the game.
Due to this background being commonly shared, the characters who are confirmed dead in the setting above will not be appearing in the game and only exist in the reflections of other appearing characters. However, it is said that they are just taking a break, and will eventually return in future Sengoku BASARA games. To compensate for their exclusion, Capcom has promised to bring in a lot of new characters which are spread over all regions of Japan from the north to the south.
