Non-Nintendo Franchises That Could Get the Warriors Treatment
The latest game in the Nintendo Warriors franchise, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes was revealed at the most recent Nintendo Direct.

There is endless possibility for a setting and many characters that players could play as, making it a perfect candidate for a hack-and-slash adaptation.
