Marvelous and Vanillaware announced Muramasa: Revenant Blades, an enhanced edition of Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Muramasa: Rebirth, during a Nintendo Direct livestream. The game launches for Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam in early 2027. It features 4K visuals, new English voiceover and localization, and new modes. This marks Vanillaware's first PC release.
The enhanced edition combines content from the original 2009 Wii title Muramasa: The Demon Blade and its 2013 PS Vita port Muramasa: Rebirth, including all four DLC characters from the 'Genroku Legends' expansion. Players can play through six storylines in any order, following protagonists Momohime, Kisuke, Okoi, Gonbe, Arashimaru, and Rajaki. Marvelous described the story as a conflict over cursed samurai swords forged by Senji Muramasa, which grant power but drive wielders mad. The trailer shown during the Nintendo Direct previewed characters and gameplay.
