Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate's Yang Jian gets a complete rundown

Koei Tecmo released an English trailer for Yang Jian earlier today, but we learned about the character's existence last week due to a Japanese announcement. Now, to go along with today's trailer, we also have a wealth of info on the character himself. Check out the complete rundown below.

Yang Jian (voiced by Daisuke Matsubara)

Known as the “Genius Taoist Who Delivers Victory,” Jian descended from his mystic land to help control the turmoil in the new world. He is always calm and collected, and possesses great intuition. He goes to war with a deadly tri-point double-edged glaive, and always has his divine canine companion Xiaotian fighting by his side. A Taoist mystic, Jian is thought to be a genius obsessed with perfection, but in truth, he is simply an extremely hard-working person and exactly the type of warrior who can help bring Odin’s army to its knees.
