'Arashi: Castles Of Sin - Final Cut' Gets Delayed, Now Coming to PS VR2, PC VR And Meta Quest In December

Arashi: Castles Of Sin is a stealth/action sandbox VR game where you play as Assume the role of Kenshiro, an elite shinobi and the last surviving son of the noble House Arashi.

Castles across feudal Japan have been captured by ruthless bandits, the Six Oni of Iga. With your wolf companion, Haru at your side, exact revenge for their merciless destruction and reclaim the castles for good. It is a time of warring states, and the land cries out for justice. It’s up to you to deliver it.

In the field, the path and methods are left to you. Every decision you make must be thoughtful. Every move – powerful. Your wits as much a weapon as your inventory; the environment both an enemy to defeat and ally to command. Take out your enemies head on? Employ deception using light and shadow? Distract and side-step obstacles and adversaries undefeatable? The choice is yours.

In Arashi: Castles of Sin - Final Cut, players will step into the shoes of deadly shinobi assassin Kenshiro, and embark on a quest for justice, becoming one with the shadows as the last surviving member of House Arashi.

Arashi: Castles Of Sin is built from the ground up for VR. With state-of-the-art movement and a deadly arsenal of feudal era weapons, there are endless ways to play. Ayane, Spymaster to the Shogun and your loyal cousin, will guide you in your quest. Haru, your wolf companion since you were both young, is highly-trained to take out enemies. When you’re far from home, Haru is by your side. A ruthless weapon in battle and an empathetic friend when you need her.

May honor and the shadows guide you. 

Originally planned for November 16th, Skydance Interactive announced that Arashi: Castles of Sin - Final Cut will now launch on December 5 for PlayStation VR2, PCVR and Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3.

Key Features:

  • VR’s Award Winning Stealth-Action Experience: Using the innovations of Next-Gen VR hardware, immerse yourself in the ultimate shinobi fantasy.

Heightened graphical fidelity and carefully tuned controls make each new battle more engaging than the last.
  • Become an Oni Slayer: Each castle you conquer is capped off with an exciting battle against one of the Six Oni.

Prove yourself against these fearsome foes as you hone your skills with each new encounter.
  • Haru, a Samurai's Best Friend: Your mission for justice is not one you take alone. With your canine companion Haru by your side, praised for his advanced AI and usefulness, Arashi brings a unique sense of companionship not found in other VR titles. Haru will be an ally you won’t soon forget as you take down opponents together throughout each new dangerous location.
  • The Arsenal of a Ninja: No assassin is complete without a wide set of tools at their disposal. Customize your arsenal as you see fit before each mission with blades, grenades, mines, arrows, blowguns, pistols, and more!
