Way Of The Samurai 4 Is Coming To North America

The open-world samurai game is coming exclusively to PlayStation 3 in North America courtesy of publisher Xseed. This is good news for fans, considering that the localization and release of the series' latest entry was up in the air.

According to an entry on the PlayStation blog, the sandbox-style game puts players in control of a samurai in Japan just as the country is seeing an influx of foreigners. However, according to the post, the game is "nearly surrealistic" and features "wildly anachronistic gear," so don't expect the story to be too gritty or serious.

No price or release date has been revealed, but the site promises more info "soon."

Well, that's a disturbing pose. It looks like that guy's trying to flash us.

I remember playing the original and getting my ass kicked by the blacksmith because my troll of an uncle said I'd get a cool sword of I killed him. Very fun game.

An open world game with a samurai. I gotta check this out. (Never heard of Way Of The Samurai series before :/)

wish they were bringing ragnarok odyssey here...

I get the feeling this game will feature that same awkward/stupid/cant-put-it-down-its-so-good-in-a-crappy way, that Yakuza Dead Souls provides. Yakuza Dead Souls is quite enjoyable btw. Check it out!!

Finally, a reason to get a PS3. (extreme sarcasm - I'm getting one next week though).

I'm a huge fan of these games, at the same time they are sub par games and really just fall short of greatness. If this company put the resources, time and planning to make a full blown GTA style open world Samurai game.... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy games that don't take themselves seriously but I wish this was one that did.

With all these PS3 exclusives lately i cant remember what the 360 is for =P

This will have much success here in the United States of America.

by Aswitch Wednesday, April 04, 2012 at 01:38 PM

awesome. i'm a fan of the series since the latest entry so i will be picking this up when it comes out.

Way of the Samurai 4: Flashy Eunuch's Revenge?
by NinjaSquirrel Wednesday, April 04, 2012 at 02:09 PM

Loved the first and second Way of the Samurai but they had their flaws. Never tried three, maybe ill try out this one though
by Dhughes60 Wednesday, April 04, 2012 at 02:21 PM

I never played any of the Way Of The Samurai titles but I may check out this one if it gets good reviews.
