The Feudal Japan Online Game HANAKO: HONOR & BLADE to Release in September
A new multiplayer game is coming this year called Hanako: Honor & Blade. The game allows up to 24 players to battle it out in Feudal Japan. There are 4 warrior classes with different skills and playstyles available and four game modes to choose from including team deathmatch, Capture the Scroll, and more. Hanako has been a huge passion project that has taken over a decade to build from +Mpact Games.
Hanako: Honor & Blade takes players online for immersive battles in a beautiful recreation of Feudal Japan between up to 24 players. Players can help decide the future of a nation by playing as one of four distinct warrior classes including the capable swordsman, powerful spearman, eagle-eyed archer, or nimble ninja. Each class has different build/skill options and features directionally driven combat, abilities, and spirit-based skills to get an extra edge. Players will play as one of two clans and seek to defeat opponents through multiple game modes and maps, with each game level presenting unique obstacles and mechanics that will require strategy and teamwork to defeat enemies.
Matt Canei, the team lead, said:
As we put the final touches on Hanako: Honor & Blade we’re reflecting on the bittersweet journey we’ve shared to honor those we have lost. Seeing the transformation of the Yamai Castle map to celebrate a cleansing victory brings home the emotional impact of what our team has accomplished using our own resources.
You can play Hanako on September 15 on PC (via Steam) for $14.99.
