Tecmo Koei has just announced that it will be launching not one but two games in its long-running Warriors franchise, Warriors: Legends of Troy and Dynasty Warriors 7, this March.

In case you've been missing some classic Warriors action, then you should start saving your money, as in March the Japanese company will launch two new titles in the series.

First off, we have Warriors: Legends of Troy, a new project from Koei Canada, which changes the traditional Asian setting of the series with a European one, specifically the famous war between Greece and Troy.

You'll be experiencing the Trojan War from both sides, playing as characters like Hektor, Paris, Achilles and even Odysseus.

While Odysseus will be portrayed as a wise general, Paris will appear as a selfish young warrior, that needs to grow up in order to survive.

You won't be fighting just against armies, as the development team threw in a few mythological creatures, as well as a new grappling system to throw enemies around.

Warriors: Legends of Troy will also feature online multiplayer, with both cooperative and competitive modes, for up to four players.

The game is set to be launched for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 8.

Next up, Tecmo Koei will launch Dynasty Warriors 7, its newest iteration in the franchise, which will stick with the traditional Chinese setting, introducing new generals and a new faction, the Jin.

Gameplay has been tweaked by the team at Omega Force, as players can wield two weapons, and even swap them, on the fly, during combo moves.

Last but not least, you'll also be able to enlist animals in combat, including giant pandas, that will attack your enemies.

Dynasty Warriors 7 is set to appear on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 22.
