Katana Zero free DLC now six times bigger than originally planned, will still be free
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Katana Zero’s big, free DLC remains in the works two years after the game initially released. Askiisoft provided a status update today to let fans know what’s been happening behind the scenes.
When we heard about the DLC last year, Askiisoft said that it had grown in scope to be three times bigger than originally planned. That has since increased to six times the original planned size. “That’s a bit over half the size of the main game,” Askiisoft said. The studio thinks of the DLC “more like Katana 1.5.”
As for when we’ll be seeing the DLC, there’s still no word on timing. Although there’s still plenty of work to do, the plan is now set and the scope won’t expand any further.
Here’s the full update from Askiisoft:

A new update for Katana Zero went live today. Unfortunately, the patch wasn’t intended to be released just yet, and may even cause issues for players if installed.
If you boot the updated version of Katana Zero, a notice will state that your save file is corrupted. You’ll be asked if you want to reset it. If you don’t reset, your save data will be fine.
Developer Askiisoft is working on an official fix in light of the issues caused by today’s unintentional update.

[Review] Katana Zero
Posted on 5 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: April 18, 2019
Developer: Askiisoft
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Maybe Katana Zero didn’t immediately stand out to you on the eShop. Perhaps it’s because it’s seemingly just one more pixelated indie game, or because you’ve already preloaded a certain other stylish indie action game releasing on April 18. Or maybe it’s because you’re like me, and expected Katana Zero to be yet another pretty, but ultimately forgettable indie experience. And you know what, these are all reasonable expectations to have.
