The Fellows' Ship – Expeditions: Samurai Trailer Reveals Companions and Release Date

Copenhagen, Denmark / Vienna, Austria - July 14th, 2026: The vessel Albatros has brought your crew to Japan – a land strange to you, full of dangers and challenges, but also the opportunity to meet new allies... and maybe even new friends. If you can earn their trust, that is.

In Expeditions: Samurai, your hero will be a Flynn – but you get to choose his or hers first name, customize its appearance, and pick from one of four classes.

On your journey, you'll meet a colorful cast of eight companions: the skilled burglar Antje, who excels at stealth and has a knack for cracking open doors and locks; Johan, a relative of the late captain and just as arrogant as he is deadly with a sword; Tora-Hime, the Onna-Musha seeking her place in history or Étienne Durand, the priest who serves as the diplomatic superhero of your crew.

Each companion comes with their own story and a dedicated quest chain – earn their trust, and turn an ally into a friend... or something more. Check out the brand new companion trailer on YouTube, to learn more about the four others.
