'Way of the Samurai 3' (ALL) Coming To Steam Next Week

by Rainier on March 14, 2016 @ 7:15 p.m. PDT

Way of the Samurai 3 will appeal to fans of both the series and RPGs, offering players a massive open ended world to roam around, featuring over 100 weapons for you to wield in defense of the poor, lonely, while fending off rivaling samurai clans.

Honour, sacrifice, betrayal… Your choices make you who you are. How will history remember you?

You must wield the sword of a mysterious lone samurai during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku era, in one of the most atmospheric action RPGs ever created. Explore the villages, body-strewn battlefields, bandit fortresses, immense castles and local town of Amana, in an open world bustling with a rich cast of colourful characters that you can help, ignore or victimise.

Choose your friends and enemies carefully in a game where every decision has far-reaching consequences, and where finishing the game is just the beginning of your journey…

Way of Samurai 3 will be released on Steam for $19.99. Not only that, but there will be a 20% launch discount lasting until the 30th March.

This 20% discount will also apply to the DLC at launch, when Ghostlight will be offering the following DLC packs:

  • Way of the Samurai 3 - Accessory Set: 27 exclusive accessories to create even more unique and outlandish characters.
