Askiisoft finally provided an update for Katana Zero’s upcoming free DLC! According to the development team, the DLC is considered as “Katana 1.5” as its 6 times bigger than originally planned. The DLC is still free to all players so it’s going to be a massive free batch of content coming soon. Here are more details:
The Katana ZERO DLC is now 6x bigger
That’s right! The free Katana ZERO DLC will be 6x the original planned size. That’s a bit over half the size of the main game. This means more levels, mechanics, enemies, bosses, and intertwined story elements. It’s less like a DLC and more like Katana 1.5.
It’s (still) on the house
Despite the significantly larger size, I’m still planning on releasing this for free. Development took an unexpected slowdown last year, but things are normalizing now and I want to repay the fans who have given me so much.
When will it come out?
The short answer is – I don’t know yet. There’s a ton of content finished, but this is a large project and I’m aspiring to the same level of quality and attention of the base game. I’m also still doing all the programming and design myself – this is my passion project after all. But don’t fret! The game is progressing at a healthy pace, and the whole dev team is working full steam on production. The DLC won’t be expanding anymore either – the plan is set and now we’re focused on finishing it.
Katana Zero is out now for Steam, Switch and Xbox One. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest gaming news and support us on Patreon!
