It has been exactly five days sincewe last wroteabout the long-awaited, neon-drenched samurai slasherKatana Zero. But the bushido blade life is an unpredictable one, and sometimes things happen at a quick clip.
Developer Askiisoft has teamed up with Devolver Digital to publishKatana Zero. Watch the trailer that’s embedded above and tell me this game doesn’t land perfectly in Devolver’s wheelhouse. This comes after the revelation late last year thatAskiisoft had parted ways with Adult Swim Games.
For anyone who can’t live with just watchingKatana Zeroand needs to feel that (digital) blade slicing enemies and deflecting bullets, the wait isn’t too insufferable.Katana Zeroseems locked in for a PC release in March 2019. There’s apparently aconsole announcementhappening “in the next month or so,” but there’s no hint as to which platforms we can expect. It certainly would fit nicely on [whichever console you prefer]!
And, for anyone who reallyreallycan’t wait, Devolver and Askiisoft are showcasingKatana Zerothis weekend at PAX South. That’s where you can get your hands on the newest iteration, as this is a game that has transformed over the years into something that’s undoubtedly tighter and more satisfying than the earlier prototypes. Also, Devolver is giving a free copy away to anyone who shows up wearing a samurai outfit, so I guess that’s a way to save a few bucks.
