Marvelous and Vanillaware have announced a new entry in the Oboro Muramasa series and an enhanced edition of the original game, both launching in early 2027 across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Marvelous and Vanillaware announced two Oboro Muramasa projects during the June 9 Nintendo Direct livestream. The first is Oboro Muramasa Kaitan, a new entry in the Japanese-style action RPG series. The second is Muramasa: Revenant Blades, an enhanced edition of Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Muramasa: Rebirth. Both are scheduled for an early 2027 release.
Oboro Muramasa Kaitan revives a franchise that has not seen a new mainline release since the PS Vita era. Vanillaware is handling development, with Marvelous publishing. The announcement included images captured from the stream but no gameplay footage or further details. The game was initially announced only for Nintendo Switch, while later coverage specified a wider release on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Muramasa: Revenant Blades launches on Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. It features 4K visuals, new English voiceover and localization, and new modes. This marks Vanillaware's first PC release. The enhanced edition combines the original game and its Vita DLC Genroku Kaikitan, offering six playable protagonists. The two announcements together represent Marvelous and Vanillaware's coordinated return to the franchise on modern hardware.
