This feels just like the 12 months of stop-motion animation video games. Harold Halibut and Judero are about to yield the limelight to The Spirit of the Samurai, confirmed with a December 12, 2024 launch date. Sharpen these swords and prepared these warrior cats, people.
Wait, warrior cats? That’s proper. If a harsh and violent samurai Metroidvania with stop-motion-style animation doesn’t fairly seize your consideration (it actually ought to), then know this: There are locations the place you get to play The Spirit of the Samurai because the viciously cute warrior cat Chisai.

When Chisai isn’t being cute and doubtlessly lethal, you’ll play because the samurai Takeshi, who ventures out to finish the Oni rampage. Whereas Chisai is used throughout climbing and platforming sections, Takeshi should overcome the percentages. He does it not by being cute (sadly) however by killing yokai, Oni, and different demons of Japanese mythology utilizing his katana, bow, and spear.
