Muramasa: Revenant Blades PC Port Announced for February 2027

Marvelous has announced that Muramasa: Revenant Blades will launch on PC via Steam alongside PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 4, 2027. This release marks the first time a Vanillaware title has been published on the Steam platform. The project serves as a modern revamp of the action RPG originally released in 2009 for the Wii and 2013 for the PlayStation Vita.
The developers describe the update as falling between an HD remaster and a remake. All graphics have been upgraded to higher resolution, while the game system and map structure have been adjusted. New elements have also been added to the experience. Despite the generational gap, the title runs on the same in-house engine used for the original versions.
Vanillaware faced significant challenges adapting controls for keyboard and mouse input. The team worked to ensure smooth performance at 60 frames per second. Marvelous proposed the PC release at the start of the project to reach a wider audience more than a decade after the original launch.
