Ghostlight has announced that they are bringing Acquire’s 19th century samurai focused title, Way of the Samurai 4 to PC, via Steam later this year.

Just like with Ghostlight’s PC releases of Agarest: Generations of War and Agarest: Generations of War Zero, the team at Laughing Jackal will be handling the port from console to PC.

Way of the Samurai 4 description

Way of the Samurai 4 is set in the mid 19th century, as Japan has begun to open its borders to the Western world. You will play as a master-less samurai thrown into a three-way conflict between the shogunate pro-governmental forces, the nationalistic isolationists, and the foreign powers who are heavily influenced by the British Navy.

Navigating this new and dangerous world, the missions you select will shape your destiny as you discover multiple endings depending on your loyalty to the three factions.

Way of the Samurai 4 features a huge selection of character customization options, equipment upgrades and a dynamic combat system that allows the player to use a vast array of melee and gunpowder weapons in order to develop their fighting skills.

Way of the Samurai 4 was originally released as a PlayStation 3 exclusive in Japan in 2011. The PS3 game later arrived in North America via XSEED Games and Europe via NIS America in 2012.
