Afro Samurai slashes on PS3 and 360 in fall
Afro Samurai finally gets its already long announced video-game and it’s being developed by Namco Bandai, in the spirit of the manga and anime series.
Samuel L. Jackson will star in the game as Afro, the second-best samurai in the world, out to seek revenge for his father being killed by justice, a powerful fighter who cannot be killed by conventional means. So it will be up to the players to chase this Justice and his minions throughout a medieval imaging of Japan and leaving a bloody trail.
The game’s graphics will be cell-shaded, which I think befits it very well and you’ll be glad to know it’s going to have an M rating, which means you’ll enjoy plenty of bloodshed, dismemberments and beheadings.
As in the short anime series, the soundtrack will have hip-hop influences and it will be produced by Wu-Tang Clan veteran RZA. Music will have a great role in Afro Samurai, influencing the enemy AI and the gameplay (kind of like in Samurai Champloo?) says Namco Bandai.
Afro Samurai will be out in the US for the PS3 and Xbox 360, this fall.
