Gamebridge have confirmed that Way of the Samurai 3 will be releasing here in the UK on March 12th along with some nice limited edition goodies…

Way of the Samurai 3 is an open world RPG game where the true consequences of your actions influences how the story plays out. The game puts you in the role of a Samurai warrior during the tumultuous time of the Sengoku era and will allow you to choose how you want to play. For example, you could decide protect and help the neutral villagers, or maybe ignore everything and forge your own path in the feudal world. With over 15 different endings, the game certainly doesn’t deviate from the freedom that the first two games offered.

Some new features include the ability to craft your own unique weapon from over 200 different components, and the option to set up home with a wife. When starting the game you’re nothing but a nameless warrior, but completing challenges will earn you Samurai points. The more you earn the better title you will have, along with access to more items and characters.

“We’re delighted to announce the release of Gamebridge’s Way of the Samurai 3,” says Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. “The ultimate choose your own adventure game, no game has used the butterfly effect to such extremes as in this one.”

Way of the Samurai 3 will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3 when it hits stores across the UK on March 12th. The game will also include two limited edition digital bonus items; a strategy guide, detailing an array of hints
and tips, and a stunning artbook.

Check back soon when we will hopefully be able to bring you a full in-depth review of the game when it launches.
