Oboro Muramasa Kaitan Announced for Early 2027 on Nintendo Switch
During the June 9 Nintendo Direct broadcast, Marvelous and Vanillaware announced Oboro Muramasa Kaitan, a new entry in the Japanese-style action RPG series. The game is scheduled for an early 2027 release on Nintendo Switch. Oboro Muramasa originally launched on Wii in 2009 and later on PS Vita in 2013. Vanillaware, the developer behind titles such as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Dragon's Crown, is handling development, with Marvelous publishing. The announcement was accompanied by images captured from the stream, though no gameplay footage or further details were shown. The title revives a franchise that has not seen a new mainline release in over a decade, positioning it as a notable return for the studio's action RPG lineage.
