Maxi Stone and his team are currently working on a realistic 3D fighting game that is inspired by the classic Bushido Blade game. This new game is called Hatashiai, is powered by Unreal Engine 4, and you can find below a video showcasing its latest build.
In Hatashiai, players will take control of famous samurai/warriors skilled at different styles of melee combat techniques to experience their ways of fighting and learn about their stories and legends.
Hatashiai has been under development for a while and according to its IndieGoGo page, it targets a Q3 2017 release on the PC.
Hatashiai promises to feature cultural & historical accuracies, a pure physics-based sword contact detection system, a one hit kill fighting system, weapon customization and feudal japan-themed environments. The game will feature a single player mode, as well as local multi-player and online multi-player.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

i saw this project a year ago, donations were closed due to lack of…
i wonder if this project ever gonna come into a reality
i LOVED bushido blade on PS1, and it’s nice to see some spotlight on it
thanks John, keep THIS kind of news going on the site
instead of the mainstream garbage, Indie games and independent AAA developers is the future (CDPR,taleworlds studios, warhorse studios etc…)
Looks cool but those animations are a bit too robotic IMO, I don’t remember Bushido Blade being this stiff.
Inb4 they are snatched up by the likes of Sony.
Game looks great and it’d be nice to have a game like that, fully fleshed out on PC, but something tells me that the devs are either going to have their work cancelled or snatched up for exclusivity.
Slice, Dice, and Rice?
good game 😉
An opinion: it should be a no brainer that if the game has a name, NAME IT in the title instead of just tossing “some is making a game like [instert famous title]”. It’s an a++hole move.
Mention the game, help the developers with the coverage, more so if there’s a team behind, it has a release target and it’s not some prototype by one guy that may never see the light of the day.
