Despite having some classification issues in Australia around the time of its release, the 2D side-scrolling slash 'em up Katana Zero was one of the standout indie titles of the past year. When it arrived on the Switch in April 2019, we praised its tough hair-raising action sequences, gripping narrative, and impeccable sense of style.
If you loved it as much as we did but wanted more, the good news is the DLC – previously announced last year – is still in development. According to the @askiisoft Twitter account, this add-on content is now three times the size of what was originally planned. The indie developer also confirmed it would still be a "free" download.
This brief update also mentioned how a Katana Zero vinyl was still in the works, and a lot of hard work was going into making the audio perfect. If you haven't played this game and would like to know what all the fuss is about, be sure to read our review.
Have you been patiently waiting for this DLC? Did you play the game when it was released on the Switch last year? Post a comment below.

Really excited to return to that game to play the new content, loved that game
Can't wait to check out the mobile game Pocket Squirrel
Well this is pleasant news. Would have gladly paid good money for this DLC.
Amazing game, amazing OST, personally 10/10 for me
I haven't exactly been "waiting" for it, but when it comes out I'm jumping back in for sure. Absolutely wonderful game.
Still need to pick this game up.... waiting on a good sale!
Only interested if it was Physical release.
Oh I can't wait! Katana Zero is one of the best games I've played in a long time! The story was incredibly gripping!
I liked everything about the game, except for the game's mechanics. The story, soundtrack, visuals were all top notch though. I might be interested in this dlc since it is free.
@TimboSlice I here ya, but this one is definitely worth paying full price. Especially with the incoming DLC being free. One of my favorite indies, tho the story’s a little tooooo dark for my liking the aesthetic makes it more palpable.
Physical release incoming!
What a happy update! I’m looking forward to the new content; just wish they’d add a patch to skip over the conversations after you beat the game though. Kinda halted the gameplay’s unique momentum if you know what I mean. Bring it on!
beat it recently, only 1 playthrough, should i continue or new game?
Waiting more for a physical, please!
Patiently sharpening my Katana…
Glad to hear they're taking their time with it. If it's up to the standards of the rest of the game, this will be well worth the wait.
