Katana Zero was one of the indie hits of 2019 and, since then, the game developer Askiisoft has been working on the free DLC.
Last February, it was revealed that the content would be three times larger than originally planned, and now, in a new update on the company’s website, it has been revealed that it is “6x” the size originally planned. Here’s what you can expect from so much content:
“This is just over half the size of the main game. It means more levels, mechanics, enemies, bosses and story elements intertwined. It’s less like a DLC and more like Katana 1.5.”
Despite the scale, it will still be “on the house” (in other words, free) Although development slowed down last year, it is now returning to normal.
As for when it will arrive, the creator – Justin Stander – I haven’t thought about it yet, but one thing that has been confirmed is that will not expanding further:
“The short answer is – I don’t know yet. There is a ton of content completed, but this is a great project and I’m aiming for the same level of quality and attention as the base game. I’m also doing all the programming and design – after all, this is my passion project. But don’t worry, the game is progressing at a healthy pace and the entire development team is working at full speed on production. The DLC will no longer be expanded or – the plan is set and now we’re focused on completing it. “
When Katana Zero originally arrived on Switch in April 2019, we praised her hair-raising action sequences, engaging narrative and impeccable sense of style. Learn more about this in our review.
