Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Game Unveiled With Video

posted on by Karen Ressler
PS4/Xbox One/PC game features new player character

Publisher Versus Evil began streaming a trailer unveiling the Afro Samurai sequel video game, Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma, on Friday. The video introduces the player character Kuma.

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game was first announced last June and is in development at Redacted Studios.

Versus Evil describes the story:

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma continues the action-packed saga of Afro Samurai, but this time follows the narrative of one of Afro's closest friends Jinno, who blames him for the death of their friends and family. Fueled by an insatiable sadness Jinno endures a series of painful body modifications that transform him into a cybernetically enhanced killing machine called Kuma. Now, emotionally broken, his mind twisted from the pain of his memories and the sadistic modifications to his body, Kuma awakens with one goal in mind; bloody revenge for the pain his old friend and ‘brother’ Afro Samurai caused following the great battle at the Red Gate of Mt. Shumi.

Namco Bandai Games released the first Afro Samurai game in North America and Europe in 2009 for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

Animation studio Gonzo adapted Takashi Okazaki's 1999 Afro Samurai seinen manga into the Afro Samurai television mini-series (2007) and later into the Afro Samurai: Resurrection television movie (2009). Both anime projects became the bestselling anime DVD releases of their respective years.

Seven Seas Entertainment released the manga in North America, and Funimation released the anime adaptations.
