Key information
During a preview event at Marvelous' Japanese headquarters, RPG Site confirmed the existence of a PC port for Vanillaware's Muramasa: Revenant Blades. The author personally played an in-development build on Steam, marking a significant arrival for the developer on the platform.
The title features remastered visuals in higher fidelity. While the game previously appeared on HD platforms, the reviewer noted that seeing the assets in proper HD remains a treat, comparing the experience favorably to their time with the 2013 PlayStation Vita version.
Content-wise, the game includes previously released DLC and introduces a new system for learning blade abilities. Players can now equip skills independently of specific demon blades, with inputs mapped to directional and aerial combinations. The reviewer anticipates this will allow for distinct combat styles across the two primary campaigns.
The reviewer suggests these changes might lower the difficulty, though they emphasize that mastering combat fundamentals remains essential for boss encounters. The game is scheduled for release on February 4, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
