Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition Now Available on Nintendo Switch 2

Koei Tecmo has officially released Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2, marking a significant milestone for both the renowned strategy franchise and the new Nintendo hardware.

Celebrating four decades since the debut of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series, this latest edition consolidates a wealth of content, enhanced features, and brand-new gameplay elements that cater directly to series veterans and newcomers alike. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition delivers the most comprehensive experience yet, bundling all currently-released downloadable content—excluding special collaboration content—together with technical upgrades that showcase improved 3D rendering quality.

For the first time on Nintendo Switch 2, players will also benefit from added mouse support, introducing more flexible control options for strategic command on the go or at home. Noteworthy new gameplay includes six fresh scenarios, broadening the already robust replay value.

Among the additions is the “Decisive Battles” mode, which enables players to immerse themselves in large-scale conflicts emblematic of Japan’s tumultuous Warring States period.

These scenarios are carefully crafted to test strategic prowess and leadership at every turn. At the heart of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening lies its innovative "Dominion" system.

Players assume the role of a feudal lord, overseeing territories and delegating responsibilities to loyal retainers who act with autonomy and strategic judgment.

This approach faithfully encapsulates the challenges of feudal governance while letting players personalize how they expand and manage their realm throughout a beautifully detailed historical Japan. The Complete Edition stands out by supporting more than 2,200 meticulously recreated historical officers and characters, the highest number yet in franchise history.

From legendary generals to influential princesses, players are empowered to strategize alongside a diverse cast whose decisions actively shape outcomes on and off the battlefield.

In a statement reflecting on the series’ enduring legacy, Koei Tecmo emphasized the comprehensive features included to commemorate the 40th anniversary, such as proactive council meetings, province development plans, sieges, and castle management.

Each advancement promises to deliver depth and nuance to the already esteemed strategic gameplay. Additional bonuses available in the Complete Edition include content from early purchase and pre-order campaigns, as well as the special "Kou Shibusawa’s 40th Anniversary Commemorative Officer Data Set." These, combined with the new scenarios like “Birth of Nobunaga,” offer players extensive reasons to return to the battlefield. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition is now accessible via the eShop for Nintendo Switch 2, joining the platform’s growing library of premier strategy titles.
