Muramasa: Revenant Blades launches February 4, 2027 https://ift.tt/yYcNEFI
Hello, PlayStation players! Today we revealed that Muramasa: Revenant Blades, the stunning Japanese-inspired action-RPG from Vanillaware and Marvelous, will launch on February 4, 2027.
Along with the release date, we also shared a new gameplay video that offers a closer look at the game’s exciting features, from exhilarating sword-fighting action to character progression and more. We know you’ve been looking forward to learning more about this gorgeous action game since it was announced, and we’re thrilled to be able to share more about what’s in store in Muramasa: Revenant Blades.
The ultimate Muramasa
The visually striking Japanese-inspired action RPG Muramasa: Rebirth, originally released for PlayStation Vita, and its side-story DLC, Genroku Legends, have been combined and further refined into a single, complete experience.
Its beautiful and fantastical world has been revitalized in gorgeous high-definition. Alongside improvements to its deep and engaging sword-fighting action, new features, like the all-new English voice over, have been added to enhance the experience. Whether you’re discovering the game for the first time or returning as a fan of the original, Muramasa: Revenant Blades offers a fresh perspective on this epic adventure.
Six stories unfold in a mysterious world
Set in Japan during the Genroku era, a time when supernatural phenomena run rampant, Revenant Blades features six different playable protagonists, each with their own circumstances, goals, and journeys.
From one who is possessed by the cursed sword Muramasa, to another who swears to avenge their master, and one who pursues love with unwavering passion, each protagonist has a unique story to tell. With each tale standing on its own, you’re free to experience all six in any order you choose. Discover six distinct tales as they unfold across a beautiful world steeped in the supernatural.
Exhilarating sword-fighting action with intuitive controls and graceful movement
Chain normal attacks together to naturally unleash combos, then mix in dashes and jumps for even more exhilarating combat as you move fluidly across the ground and the air.
You can also parry enemy attacks, and with the right timing, even deflect ranged attacks. Muramasa’s controls are easy to grasp, yet offer plenty of depth for veteran players, giving everyone an opportunity to perform spectacular sword-fighting moves.
Skills are the key to battle
Unleash powerful single strikes, wide-area attacks, ranged attacks, all with a single button press. Combine them with normal attacks to overwhelm your enemies with relentless combos.
Refine your swords, hone your skills, and develop your own unique fighting style
With the help of the swordsmith Muramasa, Kisuke and Momohime can forge new swords imbued with powerful skills.
Alternatively, Okoi, Gonbe, Arashimaru, and Rajaki, can undergo training to learn new skills and create charms that grant special effects to their different forms or weapons.
Through further forging and training, you’ll unlock new swords and skills, improve your stats, and steadily grow stronger. Both require souls obtained from defeated enemies, so collect as many as you can as you make your way through the adventure.
Expand your tactical options by mastering skills, freely switching between them in battle.
As Kisuke and Momohime use swords imbued with skills in combat, they‘ll be able to master those techniques. You can assign up to three mastered skills for both ground and aerial combat, and switch between them freely with the directional pad. The more you use any skill, the more proficient you become, increasing its potency.
Experiment with different combinations to learn the strengths they offer, and find the pairings that suit your playstyle.
New features to explore and a classic experience to relive
This title features a variety of supplemental content, including the Scroll, a gallery packed with illustrations, a Character Viewer, where you can admire character animations and backgrounds, and a Replay mode that lets you relive events from your journey.
In addition to the renewed experience, there’s also a classic mode featuring the PlayStation Vita versions of Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Genroku Legends.
Experience these nostalgic adventures with the original gameplay experience, now with beautifully enhanced graphics.

Introducing No Man’s Sky: Cosmos update, live on PS5 today https://ift.tt/n2FE4lw
Hello, it has been ten years now since the release of No Man’s Sky, and we wanted to do something special to mark the moment.
The Cosmos update brings a massive overhaul to space itself and is free to download for existing PlayStation players today, and it’s a massive one.
Space is such a huge part of No Man’s Sky, but space itself has remained largely unchanged in all our ten years of updates!
With Cosmos we wanted to make space feel truly alive. We ‘ve added asteroid belts, space hulks, outposts, missions, strange anomalies, and tons of mystery to explore. There’s so much to do in space that we’ve added a beautiful map to plot and keep track of every system.
Then we started to think, could we make space feel more like home? What if you could own a Space Station? If you could build star bases, and create alliances with other players.
Warping to a system now, your first action will often be a quick scan of the new solar system map to reveal a whole new array of space points of interest, each of which unlock whole new strands of missions and exploration.
There are huge “space hulks”, which can be stripped and salvaged. The physics gravity gun can be used to pull chunks of metal from these wrecks, and can be thrown to a new tractor beam fitted to your ship. Become too greedy, and tear too much from a hulk, and it may begin to meltdown and explode. Scanning first for the highest value rewards is the smart move.
Perhaps you take your new rewards to one of the new space outposts, to trade with alien lifeforms. Here you can buy maps, get information about the area and take on new missions from its inhabitants.
Beware though, some of these facilities have been overwhelmed by biological hazards, and may need to be cleared out and reclaimed carefully.
Gorgeous asteroid belts of rock and ice formations boast a large array of valuable crystal resources. Some rare asteroids are large enough to land on and even build a star base on.
Why limit yourself to a base on an asteroid? Free-floating modular bases can be built anywhere in space. Build your own truck stop for star ships, orbital restaurant, or military outpost. There’s something incredibly special about floating in space, planets looming large below you, watching the universe go by.
If that isn’t enough, at last players can buy the system’s space station for themselves! They can build and decorate it both inside and externally, and some wild creativity is possible. You can create your own themed Station, as your own clubhouse and have friends come and visit.
Perhaps that Station then becomes the place where you found your own Alliance to which you can invite all players to join your new society. As an alliance, you can work together to build a networked empire of different stations and rise the new leaderboards to compete for the largest, richest or most prominent alliance.
The center of the solar system is the sun, and finally players can try to undertake a perilous journey to reach the center of their own star system!
Expeditions have become a very popular feature of No Man’s Sky. For our 10th year, we have done something a bit special. Each milestone of the anniversary expedition will correspond to a specific No Man’s Sky update from the 40+ we have released over the last decade. Each milestone’s gameplay reflects some of the features that were introduced with that update, peppered with some interesting logs about how that update came into being. It’s like a journey through time, and honestly we’ve found it a little emotional to put together.
Cosmos is a massive update, but it’s also just another step in our journey together. Right from the beginning, our game, our updates and our patch notes are a love letter from us to the community. Thank you so much for joining us.
