Vanillaware's long-anticipated remaster of its 2009 Wii action RPG finally has a firm date: Muramasa: Revenant Blades arrives February 4, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The package folds together the original Muramasa: The Demon Blade stories of Kisuke and Momohime with all four Genroku Legends DLC tales from the Vita-era Rebirth, giving players six protagonists from the start instead of gated behind expansions.
A 12-minute gameplay showcase released alongside the announcement reveals English voice acting for the first time, with credits including Khoi Dao as Kisuke, Alice Himora as Momohime, and a full supporting cast delivering lines that previously existed only in Japanese. The remaster adds a gallery mode with illustrations and flashbacks, a script viewer, plus a Reminisce mode that lets players toggle back to the original or Vita versions with updated visuals. Combat refinements include spirit gauge management, weapon switching, and character-specific mechanics like Okoi's cat transformation or Rajaki's oni rampage forms.
Physical editions in North America price the standard version at $49.99 for PS5 and Switch with the full game on cart, while the Switch 2 edition commands $59.99 for the same reason. Limited editions at $89.99–$99.99 bundle an art book, soundtrack selections, and a folding byobu screen. Europe sees flatter pricing across platforms at €49.99 standard and €69.99 limited. This marks Vanillaware's first proper PC release since 2006, and the announcement trailer and showcase confirm 4K support on compatible hardware.
Community chatter on X has centered on the complete-on-cart promise for Switch 2 and the surprise of full English dubbing, with some users already petitioning for an eventual Xbox port.
