Samurai on the way

Bam Entertainment has announced that it has secured the publishing rights for Samurai and will bring the game to the US under the new name of Way of the Samurai. In the game, players will assume the role of a samurai who's caught between an ongoing feud involving the Kurofu family and the Akadama clan. A player's position in the feud will change depending on the decisions he or she makes over the course of the game. In addition, players' mastery of different sword skills will increase as they progress through the game and collect various swords.

"We were extremely pleased to get the opportunity to work with Acquire to publish Way of the Samurai," said Bernard Stolar, president and chief operating officer of Bam Entertainment. "Considering Way of the Samurai's amazing style, dynamic story, and incredible depth of gameplay, it is entirely possible we could have a sleeper hit on our hands this summer."
