This past February, Samurai Jack fans were blessed with a new project underway from Adult Swim Games. The publisher revealed in collaboration with game studio Soleil Ltd. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time. The game as derived from the title is as you could collect: play as the titular hero from the beloved television series and fight against some of his biggest foes as you bounce through time paradoxes.
With the game’s reveal this past winter, the release date for the aforementioned title was unfortunately left out. And right before the biggest turn of events – the COVID-19 pandemic – it was presumed we might see a push of the game to a later release this year or even a delay into 2021. Thankfully, we now know the game will be arriving next month.
In a new trailer, Soleil Ltd. announces Samurai Jack: Battle will be arriving during the later portion of this August. You can watch the release date trailer in the video below:
“Become Samurai Jack, the greatest warrior across time. Journey through time to finally stop Aku’s evil reign in this new adventure told by the creators of Samurai Jack. Voiced by the original voice-actors, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is an action platform game that spans across time and space, where your actions will determine a new legend!”
In addition to the series now entering the video game realm with this new exciting release later this month, Adult Swim Games has also confirmed that Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time will also feature the same voice actors of the original show when it aired on Cartoon Network almost two decades ago.
