Katana ZERO developer assures fans that DLC is still coming

Today during the Triple-i indie game showcase, the creator of Katana ZERO announced some updates. This highly acclaimed indie game, developed by Askiisoft and published by Devolver Digital, was initially released in 2019 to widespread appreciation from both critics and players. At present, it boasts an impressive 98% positive rating on Steam based on over sixty thousand reviews. The brief teaser trailer unveiled today did not reveal much, but it confirmed that DLC is still in the works, and most notably, this upcoming content will remain free for fans.

Katana ZERO DLC is still coming, still free, in new trailer

Katana ZERO is the standout game created by developer Askiisoft. In terms of gameplay, it’s a 2D action platformer that lets you play as a time-manipulating samurai. Visually, it boasts stunning pixel art set in a cyberpunk, neo-noir world filled with intense action, nerve-wracking scenarios, and opportunities for agile acrobatics. It’s unusual for an indie game to release DLC nearly six years after its initial launch, but Katana ZERO is confident it can pull it off. And as a bonus, it will be available free of charge.

The final segment of the Triple-i showcase featured a sneak peek at Katana ZERO, which turned out to be the unexpected cherry on top for indie game enthusiasts. While it was known that the developer would be participating, there was no clue about what they would unveil. Fans speculated that it could be Downloadable Content (DLC), but considering it’s been six years since their debut, another full game seemed equally plausible.

Absolutely, there’s still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the content and release date of the Katana ZERO DLC. Askiisoft has kept quiet beyond the short sixty-second teaser, leaving fans in the dark about its launch and details. However, we can gather a few hints from the trailer.

One notable aspect seems to be the concluding scene. The main character perched on a tree overlooking what appears to be multiple future-era soldiers battling through deep water below them. Additionally, a quick shot of a helicopter navigating a thick forest evokes a sense reminiscent of the Vietnam War. However, it is set in a sci-fi universe, as suggested by other elements in the trailer. Overall, this seems intriguing for fans of the initial game, but we’ll have to wait a bit longer for more details.
