Tecmo Koei has confirmed that Hokuto Musou will be punching faces in Europe under the Fist of the North Star title. The ultraviolent and gore-drenched action game has been set for release this Summer.

Kenshiro and Raoh figure prominently in the game, but Tecmo Koei is also throwing in unlockable characters such as Rei and Minami. Each of the playable characters will get their own original scenarios and endings along with reproductions of their stories from the source material.

• Destructible and interactive environments – In the hugely interactive environments players can smash or pummel their enemies into different objects and buildings as well as pick up objects to maim and obliterate groups of malicious gangs.
• Face down dozens of enemies at once – String combos and attacks together to perform unstoppable killing moves. Power up, then unleash furious Hokuto Shinken special attacks.
• Dozens of unlockable moves – Blistering finishing attacks that can wipe out entire gangs in one blow, or cause single enemies to explode in a shower of gore.
• Hidden characters – Taken straight from the FIST OF THE NORTH STAR universe, players will be able to unlock unforgettable characters such as Mamiya and Rei, amongst others.
• Faithfully reproduced FNS visuals – Every scene and level has been faithfully followed the iconic visual style of the original comic series.
• Original scenarios for every playable character – As well as having their own stories faithfully reproduced from the source material, every character will have a new original story and ending specially made for this game, giving the fans something they could only dream of.
