Way of the Samurai 4 Dated For PlayStation 3

XSEED Games today announces that Way of the Samurai 4 will be releasing on the PlayStation 3 exclusively as a digital download on August 21st.  Gamers will be able to pick up the Japanese action-adventure game on the PSN for $39.99.

Way of the Samurai 4 is set in post-isolationist Japan as the player takes the role of a Ronin, a samurai without a master, as they work to gain reputation in the land.  According to the presser:

“Taking their place in the overall power struggle, players will be given the choice to align themselves with one of three factions: the shogunate pro-governmental forces, the nationalistic isolationists and the growing foreign powers, and their loyalty and interaction with each of the three factions will shape the story towards one of ten possible different endings.”

The game is being developed by Acquire.  It will keep the original japanese audio intact, but it will also feature English subtitles.  Stay tuned at Gamer Living for more news, as well as our review when Way of the Samurai 4 drops later this month!
