Katana Zero DLC update: Askiisoft confirms expansion has grown to the size of a sequel
Katana Zero, the neo-noir action platformer developed by Askiisoft and published by Devolver Digital, originally launched for Nintendo Switch and PC on April 18, 2019.
Known for its breakneck action, instant-death combat and time-manipulation mechanics, the indie title has maintained a dedicated fanbase and ongoing interest in additional content.
Developer Justin Stander has now provided a fresh development update on the long-awaited DLC via X (formerly Twitter).
In a brief post on X, Stander said the team is continuing work on the DLC and that they have significantly expanded its scope.
He summarized the change by saying the project has effectively become the size of a full sequel and added that the release will include a sizable new soundtrack.
Stander indicated the soundtrack will contain more than 30 new tracks and promised further updates in the near future, thanking fans for their continued support.
Stander’s message was shared from the official Askiisoft account and follows earlier promotional material for the expansion, including a trailer released previously.
Since the original game’s 2019 release on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam), follow-up details from the developer have been intermittent, making this confirmation notable for players watching the project’s progress.
