April 18th, 2008

afro_samurai_293_1024 If you have seen Afro Samurai, then you will most probably remember just how kickass the series is. If you are one of the few people on earth who haven’t seen it… run out and buy one right now.

Keeping the kick-assery in mind, Namco Bandai today announced that they are bringing an action game based on the animation series to the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will follow the titular character as he fights to become the number one warrior (he’s number two), and will follow the plot of the original series with added material and background for fans and newcomers alike.

Those who aren’t in the loop – the series blended modern hip-hop and technology with traditional Japanese culture in a refreshingly awesome package.

“Afro Samurai’s unique mash-up of urban hip hop culture with traditional Japanese aesthetics and innovative combat mechanics provides a fresh new approach to the action adventure genre,” said Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for NAMCO BANDAI Games America. “Afro Samurai delivers an episodic experience with addictive, immersive and compelling gameplay that’s literally dripping in style.”

Samuel L. Jackson is reprising his role of Afro in the game, which will also feature a musical score produced by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame. The game is due out this Fall.
