Katana ZERO Free DLC Nears Completion: Askiisoft Confirms Nintendo Switch Launch
Askiisoft, the acclaimed indie developer behind Katana ZERO, has shared a significant update on the long-awaited free DLC for their celebrated action-platformer.
During the recent Triple-i Showcase, Askiisoft reiterated to fans that the much-anticipated downloadable content is “finally nearing completion” and remains on track for release on Nintendo Switch at no extra cost.
Originally released in April 2019 on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, Katana ZERO quickly garnered critical acclaim for its fast-paced gameplay, neon-soaked aesthetics, and narrative depth.
The game earned high scores across the board, including an excellent nine out of ten stars on several publications, solidifying its reputation as one of the top indie titles available on the platform.
The newly detailed DLC is set to expand Zero’s journey, picking up exactly where the main story concluded.
In an official development update, Askiisoft stated, "Players can look forward to continuing Zero’s story while exploring new facets of his mysterious past.
The expansion introduces all-new characters, levels, gameplay mechanics, and an extended narrative, making it a substantial addition fans have been waiting for."
Development for the DLC has been ongoing for several years, and in a previous 2021 update, Askiisoft described the content as so extensive that it would be akin to a "Katana 1.5." This latest showcase update confirms not only the scale of the project, but also reassures the community that the DLC is approaching its final stages and will remain a free download for all existing players.
Despite the excitement, Askiisoft has not yet announced an exact release date for the Katana ZERO DLC.
However, the team confirmed the content is still actively in development and solidified its upcoming launch on the Nintendo Switch—maintaining their commitment to delivering this major update at no cost.
Katana ZERO’s free DLC stands out as one of the most anticipated indie expansions in recent years, reflecting Askiisoft’s dedication to supporting their player community.
Nintendo Switch owners and indie enthusiasts alike can look forward to experiencing new chapters and challenges in Katana ZERO’s unique universe as soon as the DLC becomes available.
For ongoing updates, be sure to keep an eye on official channels and the Nintendo eShop announcements.
