Coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2009 is the game Afro Samurai, based on the popular amine series. In development with Namco Bandai, the game stars Samuel L. Jackson as he reprises his role of Afro in his epic hunt for revenge to avenge the murder of his father by the current owner of the #1 Headband.
The game is a cell-shaded hack and slash where players strategically block and fight using combos, and enemies will roll, duck and hop to get the heck out of your blade’s path.
- Unparalleled Star Power – Samuel L. Jackson stars as the voice of Afro Samurai and Ninja Ninja along with a musical score by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame and Chuy Gomez, famous DJ and hip hop music expert.
- Dynamic Character Movement – Afro interacts with anything and everything in the environment in beautifully animated open world environments.
- A Tale of Revenge – Afro Samurai follows the exploits of the original series and includes new material and background for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
- Blood is Beautiful – A striking art style, shading and texturing that give Afro Samurai a truly unique look and feel.
- Style and Rhythm – Innovative gameplay system where the music affects the enemy AI and the tone of the gameplay.
- “Elegant Violence” – A balanced experience between stylistic combat and acrobatic platforming with the ability to dynamically slice and dismember enemies with ease.
Brother Six, Okiku, and a new character called Hitori are also in the game.
