A new version of the game, titled "Taiko Risshiden V DX", with improved graphics and 100 new character cards, was released in 2022.

In the previous Taikō Risshiden IV, players could select a samurai, a ninja or a merchant as their character.

Non-combat characters include foreign missionaries, monks, and wives of the military lords.

There are four overseas bases that pirates and merchants can travel to: Naha (Ryukyu, now part of Japan), Busan (Korea), Ningbo (Ming China), and Luzon (in the Philippines).

The function to edit warlord data is employed when all docks are collected, to replace the Power Up Kit used in other Koei titles.
