Samurai Maiden is an upcoming action RPG which knows exactly where it's coming from, leaning into the anime aesthetic in a new trailer. High school girls and demonic swordsmen will collide when this upbeat brawler launches on 8th December.
The gameplay in this "Girls Sword-fighting Action" game does, however, look rock solid and promises to transport you to an alternate-history version of Sengoku period Japan, one populated by undead samurai in need of slaying. While there are likely going to be moments in it that will make us want to check that we aren't being observed, there is nevertheless something appealing about this one, and it could work as a light-hearted palate cleanser after having finished up The Callisto Protocol.

Looks good! Will be a future back play for me though, there's just too much incoming
Looking good. Hopefully this is PS gameplay and nothing at all will be changed. Will keep a close eye on it.
As someone who enjoys this genre (Senran Kagura, Onee Chanbara) - it's nice to see Sony as promoting something like this. You know after they nuked any chance of Senran Kagura 7 ever coming out.
I plan to import a physical copy of Samurai Maiden since iirc the publisher has no intent of a western physical release
@AndyKazama There is hope for Red Art Games to bring us a western physical release later. They released Relayer and will also bring Demon Gaze Extra next year. I would wait a few months. I imported F.I.S.T. and Raiden 4 and now they have western releases.
@Sil_Am thanks man. Saved me a few bucks. Will wait 💯
@AndyKazama I might be stretching here but I think PS is a lot less strict in terms of censorship, especially when you compare them to what they were back in 2019.
>While there are likely going to be moments in it that will make us want to check that we aren't being observed
I'm sure games used to be a lot more like this. Though even if the games weren't being a bit pervy, there was still something awkward about playing games when you lived with your parents. I remember playing FFXII many years ago when I suddenly heard my dad's voice come from behind me: "She's got a nice bum, hasn't she?" I was controlling Fran at the time.
I'll be double dipping on this for PS5 & Switch. Physical pre-orders are available on Play-Asia. I'll wait and see if Amazon gets it before I place an order.
@MacRider Yeah you may be right. The ones that still censsor things are mostly the "ethics department" at square that localize games. But sony has been chill with that as far as I know.
@MacRider they seem to be. 2019 PlayStation would never have promoted it. It;s nice to see Sony being more relaxed.
The Valkyrie-Elysium killer
That's the cutest Takeda Shingen that I've ever seen.
Anyone else seen that Cuties Hacked: Oh no someone stole my photos! Lol it's basically the art class mini game from bully with anime pics
