It's been a minute since we've heard anything about Askiisoft's samurai platformer Katana Zero, but the developer has re-re-reconfirmed that, yes, the DLC is still on the way--and it's big. Like, so big Askiisoft is basically calling it a sequel.In a Bluesky post on October 22, Justin Stander of Askiisoft announced that the Katana Zero DLC has grown even bigger than when we last heard--which was in March 2021. It's apparently now "the size of a full sequel" and comes with a soundtrack of over 30 new songs. There's no release date or anything else outside of this confirmation, but at least it's still coming.https://bsky.app/profile/askiisoft.bsky.social/post/3myhvlfbbv22bThis is wonderful news for any fan of the 2019 side-scrolling samurai platformer, though a release date would be better. It's starting to feel like Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong, what with how often Askiisoft confirms the DLC is coming but doesn't say exactly when. After all, the last time we heard about the project was in April 2025, when Askiisoft said it's "still coming" and "still free." This is no shade, of course. I'd just like to play the DLC already.Katana Zero launched in April 2019. A neo-noir action-platformer, you play sword-wielding amnesiac assassin Subject Zero as you converse with a psychiatrist in between deflecting bullets and slashing bodies. It's an interesting amalgam of political intrigue, side-scrolling hack-and-slash gameplay, time-bending mechanics, and nightmare sequences that tells a compelling story about identity and suppression. GameSpot gave it an 8/10 in our Katana Zero review, calling it "bloody and brutal [with] a heartfelt tale that you shouldn’t overlook lightly."The DLC was announced one week after the game's release, so it's been in development for seven years now. Askiisoft said in its October 22 Bluesky post that "more updates" will come, so hopefully we all get to take our clown masks off sometime in the near future.
