What an exciting news!! Besides Maeda Toshiie and Shibata Katsuie are playable in Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends, there are 2 new characters have been announced today. Hosokawa Gracia is indeed a huge surprise..!

Hosokawa Gracia (細川玉) and Sasaki Kojiro (佐々木 小次郎) are now confirmed. If you don't know who that cute lady is, she's Gracia, the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide (明智 光秀). But why does she look like one of the characters in Bladestorm game? Okay, here's some history about her. Hosokawa Gracia was actually a converted Christian and a wife of Hosokawa Tadaoki (細川忠興). Gracia's main effect on the time, was that rather than allow herself to be captured by Ishida Mitsunari (石田 三成) at Akechi Castle, she had herself killed thus becoming a martyr.

*Note: Wondering what weapon Hosokawa Gracia uses? Well, it's her bracelets...
