The game is developed by Aquire and it’s a spin-off of the Way of the Samurai series. It’s an action-RPG for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC coming in early 2020. 

We also learn that the Japanese release will be both physical and digital.

Way of the Samurai Gaiden Katanakami supports one player offline and two players online and it includes roguelike element with automatically-generated dungeons.

A day/night cycle is also featured, changing gameplay in a rather relevant way. 

Below you can check out the first gameplay and the slides that were used to introduce the game.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Way of the Samurai series, it’s an action-RPG franchise by developed by Acquire and published Spike which debuted in 2002 for PS2 and then continued until Way of the Samurai 4 for PS3 in 2011.

The franchise has since been dormant, but apparently, we’re finally going to get a new serving of samurai action. The game certainly appears interesting, and hopefully, we’ll hear more from Spike Chunsoft soon enough.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
