Okay, you might be thinking that Trek to Yomi is 2022's only samurai game, but come on — this thing looks great. First announced back in the summer, Trek to Yomi is a samurai cinema-inspired action game that mostly seems to function on a 2D plane. It continues to look very promising in this latest trailer, which confirms a targeted spring 2022 release window on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
The trailer also teases more fantastical elements, while the official press release reads: "This fresh look demonstrates how patience and timing are key to the game’s combat; using the opponent's strength against him by employing deft manoeuvres to throw them off balance and land a killing blow. Players will face off against myriad enemies across beautiful and terrifying lands, including spearmen, archers, riflemen and even beings believed to be nothing more than folk tales…"

Interested in this until I saw the Game Pass info at the end. I'm not buying any third party game that is released day one on GP.
Shame as it looks really good.
This game looks amazing in every way. And now to dust off my Akira Kurosawa DVDs in the meantime...
@Col_McCafferty Interesting! First time i've seen this stance. Not knocking it, you're entitled to your own view. But it does beg the question. Why?

@velio84 On a whim I took your advice. Lol. That was funny, he has great comic timing and brilliant editing.
Looks awesome! This one is definitely on my radar! It's interesting normally I don't like filters like this but the black and white really works for what they're going for.
It looks interesting but I'm put off by the black and white aspect plus after playing ghost of tsushima I doubt any other samurai game could hold a candle against it.
Can’t wait for this. Reminds me of a monochromatic 2D Ghost of Tsushima. Which is exactly what I didn’t know I wanted.
as a samurai fan I’m looking forward for this 🤯
@themightyant I can't speak for @Col_McCafferty , and I wouldn't be as harshed as he is, but I am very wary about buying games that are on GamePass day one :
Now, it's nothing against this specific game, just a general wariness on my part.
We're here to talk about Trek to Yomi, not Game Pass. Let's get back on topic now.
👻 ghost of tshushima 2 is that you.anyways this game looks good.guaranteed a instant classic.word up son
No this isn’t Tsushima it’s what Tsushima would have bn / could have bn. Had its chance now let’s dance

I’ll definitely play this on my laptop through Game Pass. Looks really quite fun.
Neato. Might snag this on... drum roll ... Game Pass! I've been wanting to try it out on PC, and a short game like this will give me a good excuse to sub for a month. I really liked the look of this when it was first revealed. Very stylish
'Ghost of 2D-shima'. You're welcome.
Seriously though, looks great and likely at a reasonable 'indie' price point that will make it a nice purchase on PS5.
Looks good. I’ll definitely try this on the other system that may not be named 😏

What were YOU going on about😆
@PhhhCough he’s been drinking too much of the Sony cool aid again 😏
@Fenbops eh? Not at all.
@PhhhCough Mentioning something that apparently I'm not allowed to even though others have, without their comments being removed. It's al a bit strange.
@Col_McCafferty psst..I'd play the race card😉
Been waiting for this since Bushido Blade on PS1. Slice, Dice and Rice was fun for a few minutes but Playstation has been crying out for a decent one hit kill game. A katana doesn’t muck about.
Mainly because its 2022's only samurai game
