Fans of the Samurai Jack series will remember that a brand-new video game was announced earlier this year. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time was revealed to be an action game that will see our titular hero traveling through time in order to defeat the villainous Aku.
While the announcement of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is great in and of itself, the best news was that Samurai Jack series head writer Darrick Bachman was very much involved in the project, and was the person in charge of writing the game's script.
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is currently being developed by SOleil and published by Adult Swim, and has been revealed to be releasing for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam, Epic) at some point this summer. Unfortunately, at the time of the announcement no official launch date was revealed.
Today, however, we have some great news for those who have been anticipating the release of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, as the developers have confirmed that the game will finally be hitting store shelves on Friday the 21st of August.
Alongside the release date announcement, Adult Swim also shared an action-packed gameplay trailer for Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, so be sure to check it out down below and let us know what you think in the comments section.
