Famitsu: Way of the Samurai scans for PS3, PSP
Come fall of 2008, Acquire’s latest adventure title Way of the Samurai is scheduled to launch over in Japan. The latest Famitsu issue shows us that development is coming along nicely and that a platform other than the PS3 is getting it. Which one? It’s none other than the PSP! Scans and details in the full article up next.
Word on Japanese developer Acquire’s Way of the Samurai hasn’t exactly been abundant in recent times, but we’ve grabbed hold of some scans in the latest issue of the weekly Famitsu that show us how it’s coming along. It turns out that the adventure title is scheduled to launch come fall this year.
But that’s not all. It was also confirmed in the magazine that a version for the Sony PSP is also being developed. It differs slightly from the PS3’s version in terms of features. The PSP’s Way of the Samurai will have a two-player battle mode which will run via ad-hoc. Other exclusive content are also on the table, and the handheld release will take place earlier than that of its console brother’s.
Way of the Samurai takes players on a trek through feudal Japan. They can choose from three playable characters and then go on a journey as a masterless swordsman. Three clans will then be open for taking you in, and you’ll have the freedom to choose which one to serve. Actions of the player in the game will determine which ending unfolds. The scan to the left is the PS3 version’s feature page, while the one to the right is for the PSP.
