Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition Brings Enhanced Strategy and Mouse Support to Nintendo Switch 2

Koei Tecmo has delivered fresh insights into the upcoming Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, releasing a new gameplay video that highlights both innovative features and exclusive content coming to the platform.

With the game launching alongside Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2024, the strategic simulation series is set to reach new heights for loyal fans and newcomers alike. Originally launched in 2023, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening quickly gained recognition for its expansive strategic gameplay and deep historical immersion within Japan’s Warring States period.

Now, the Complete Edition introduces important enhancements tailored for the Nintendo Switch 2, including full mouse support—an unprecedented move for console strategy titles.

In the recent developer video, the creators shared detailed commentary and demonstrations of the new control scheme, showcasing how mouse input streamlines complex orders and territory management on the new Nintendo hardware. Beyond the innovative control support, Awakening Complete Edition incorporates a wealth of brand-new content.

Players can expect six additional scenarios—among them the fan-anticipated “The Birth of Nobunaga”—as well as large-scale Decisive Battles between prominent clans, expanded general traits, all prior downloadable content (DLC), and robust support for 4K resolution and enhanced graphics.

With these additions, the game not only honors the 40th anniversary of the Nobunaga’s Ambition series but also sets a new standard for grand strategy on Nintendo platforms. According to Koei Tecmo, "Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening allows players to deeply engage with the Sengoku era, empowering officers to make autonomous decisions and introducing the unique ‘Dominion’ system for interactive territory management." Faithful retainers act on their own judgment, with the command-based system allowing players to bestow fiefs, manage intricate councils, and oversee the growth of their lands.

The game features an extensive roster of over 2,200 officers—including both renowned historical figures and legendary princesses—offering unrivaled depth and replayability within the series. Awakening Complete Edition comes packaged with all previously released early purchase and pre-order bonuses, along with the exclusive “Kou Shibusawa’s 40th Anniversary Commemorative Officer Data Set.” These bundles ensure that players on Nintendo Switch 2 receive the most comprehensive version to date. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop on June 5, coinciding with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2.

With its blend of traditional strategy gameplay, cutting-edge features like mouse support, and an exhaustive content roster, it stands poised to become a defining release in both series and switch gaming history.
