Muramasa Revenant Blades Announced for Switch, PS5, PC

The celebrated action RPG Muramasa is returning as "Muramasa Revenant Blades," with a release scheduled for early 2027 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. This marks the franchise's debut on PC, significantly expanding its potential audience.

The project, published by Marvelous USA, is described as an enhanced re-release rather than a simple remaster. It is based on the 2013 PlayStation Vita version, "Muramasa Rebirth," which itself was an updated port of the original 2009 Wii game, "Muramasa: The Demon Blade." The new version will include all six playable characters from the Vita release, with players able to experience each character's story in any order from the start. The game will feature a brand-new localization, English voiceovers, and support for 4K resolution. Developers have also adjusted the combat and weapon systems, which is expected to impact the game's overall balance.

Set in a myth-inspired version of Japan's past, the narrative revolves around legendary, cursed swords forged by the master smith Senji Muramasa. These demon blades grant immense power but also induce a bloodthirsty madness, drawing factions, demons, and spirits...
