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. 


As fans of the original release, Skydance Interactive is working hard to bring a number of refinements and upgrades to the original release that’ll make for the most immersive samurai game in VR. Fans of the original title can expect improved visuals, updated enemy & boss behavior, revamped controls and tons of additional quality of life features.

The team also released a new gameplay trailer showcasing the treacherous journey players will embark on as a deadly shinobi assassin, as they invade castles, strike enemies with an arsenal of weapons and more alongside their loyal wolf companion Haru.
