A new fighting action game with the theme of samurai punk that combines Japanese samurai and cyberpunk will be released on PC and consoles on November 4th.

Combat style is determined by the weapon, not the character. It’s a fighting style by choosing the one you want from among the weapons with different strengths. The game supports customizing the character to suit your taste, and each character has a different background story. Therefore, the production team explained that they planned to change the fighting style according to the weapon, not the character, so that you can choose your favorite character regardless of the way you play. In addition, the appearance of the weapon can be customized by customizing it.

There is something special about Daejeon. Usually in fighting games, the health gauge at the top of the screen has been removed. In addition, there is a single blow that can cost you your life if you are careless, so you cannot let go of the tension for even a single moment. It requires a sharp play that perfectly masters the action of blocking or avoiding the opponent’s attack, enduring the enemy’s attack, and deciding the winner with one blow.

In particular, it is possible to compete with users around the world through online ranking matches. In addition, it supports a practice mode where you can practice combos before a full-fledged match.

Die by the Blade launches November 4 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch version coming next year.
