In February, Adult Swimming and Sun Games ad a video game based on the Samurai Jack Cartoon series, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time. Following the announcement, fans went nuts when they learned that they will finally be able to play the legendary character, Jack. Now, we finally have an official release date for the game.
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time releases August 21 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and the PC version of the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Adult Swim has released another trailer to announce the release date while also showing off the game environment. The trailer features the unique fighting style, weapons, and legendary characters of the Samurai Jack series.
If you are wondering about the history of the game, then you are surprised. By playing the game you will experience the story of the Samurai Jack cartoon series in all its originality. In short, Aku, the evil shapeshifter, throws Jack into the future and you (Jack) will have to defeat all of the familiar characters from the series to return to the past and defeat Aku. And yes, Jack will meet Ashi like in the last season of the show.
What's really amazing is that show creator Genndy Tartakovsky and lead writer Darrick Bachman are part of the team that created the Samurai Jack video game.
You can own Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time by paying $ 40 starting August 21. However, more details about the game will be revealed at Adult Swim Con, which will be held live from July 23-25.
