Tiger Blade pounces onto PS VR2 November 17
Hello! We’re thrilled to be sharing a brand-new Tiger Blade trailer with you! Since we first announced the game back in June, we’ve been working hard fine-tuning the combat and movement, and further bringing the world of Tiger Blade to life with extra polish and detail to the environments. In addition to showcasing Tiger Blade’s high-octane and highly replayable arcade action, the trailer also reveals the game’s release date–Tiger Blade will be debuting exclusively on PS VR2 on November 17!
So, what can you expect from Tiger Blade when it launches in a few weeks? Intense, fast-paced combat is at the core of the experience, and you’ll be rapidly switching between your sword and pistol on-the-fly as you fight through the urban locales of Sewoon (the game’s neo-Korean setting).
During the development of Tiger Blade, we’ve come to refer to the game’s most central mechanic as slash ‘n’ dash. It’s pretty self-explanatory–you use your sword to slash an enemy or a slash-friendly part of the environment, and then you auto-dash to the next point of action.
It’s not the only method of movement–you’re also armed with a grapple which you use to hook and swing at designated spots–but the slash ‘n’ dash is the primary means of moving through each level. We feel it’s a winning combo that keeps the action at an exhilaratingly dynamic tempo.
Despite the razor-sharp name, Tiger Blade isn’t just about using your sword. Certain enemies can only be defeated with a firearm, and we’ve made sure switching between your sword and pistol is seamless and becomes instinctive very quickly. If a gun-toting enemy manages to pop-off some shots, you can deflect the bullets with your sword before returning fire and taking them down.
