I’m delighted to be able to tell you that we’ll be bringing the fantastic Japanese open world action game, Way of the Samurai 3 to Steam in the very near future. We’ve had loads of emails asking us to release this one on Steam. In fact, it’s been one of the most requested Steam releases in recent years.
As I mentioned in last week’s blog, we’ve been hard at work on the PC port for quite a while now, and we’re not far away from release. We should be starting our closed beta shortly, and assuming everything goes as expected with that then we’ll be ready to announce a release date very soon after. Exciting!

It doesn’t seem that long ago since we announced the upcoming PC release of Way of the Samurai 3. Well, now I’m happy to tell you that we’ll be releasing Way of the Samurai 3 for Steam on 23rd March 2016, priced at just $19.99. Not only that, but we’ll be offering a 20% launch discount until the 30th March!
I’m relieved to say that the porting process has gone very smoothly, thanks of course to some very hard work from our lead programmer, but I’d also like to say a massive thank you to all the beta testers who’ve been a massive help getting the game ready for release so quickly. Thank you all!
By the way, the 20% discount will also apply to the DLC available at launch, when we will be offering the following DLC packs:
Way of the Samurai 3 - Accessory Set
This pack includes a comprehensive 27 exclusive accessories to create even more unique and outlandish characters.
Way of the Samurai 3 - Head and Outfit Set
Including 1 exclusive Head and 10 exclusive outfits will help you create truly unique characters.
Way of the Samurai 3 - Weapon Set
This set has a massive 40 exclusive weapon parts to create 9 unique swords and the ‘Arquebus’ spear.
For this new version we’ve added full mouse/keyboard and gamepad support, Steam achievements and a number of other user interface changes providing PC gamers with the best version of Way of the Samurai 3 to date. Cloud Saves are also supported as are Steam trading cards, backgrounds and icons.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
No, but the graphics look really bad man. Like from the time the PS3 came out.
It is a ps3 game. I wouldn't expect any more then higher resolution and frame-rate support, it's an old but very fun game and i doubt they will sell it for a full price so i don't see the problem here i mean GOG even still sells old DOS games and no one complains about the graphics there.
While waiting for that: EMU. Not like you'll get a better version anyway.
That being said the games are quite same'ish so there is no real need to play them first. It's like 2 is the more mature and improved version of 1 and 3 is the more mature and improved version of 2!

There's also a spin-off called: Samurai Western
Thanks, I was just trying to inform myself about that too (with poor results xD), since after reading this my interest piqued quite a lot^^
Given the standalone-ish nature of the saga I'll definitely give this one a try (as soon as I find some time, that is )
Wow! How fucking boring was that///// ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz....... uninstall delete.....played it a few years ago.....Thought maybe I missed something....nope!!
The game is actually not bad, it's got a weird charm to it
It's like the Jap version of Fable with Yakuza-y vibes, you wander around doing favors and quests, everyone judges you, and are left with complete amount of freedom. You can either be a royal arsehole or a white k̶n̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ samurai, you can even go Postal if you want xD (no children, though!). The combat is on the rough side, animations suck, graphics are horrible, but the whole thing works and dialogues are hilarious also, with the peculiar humour and all the reactions.
The giant problem is, it's a shameful port, locked to 30fps and with uber-basic options (not even AA, that must be forced through reshade), but at least for me it's still more playable than the emulated version since the ghetto mouse controls are somewhat serviceable after some sensitivity adjusting/heavy rebinding (the default ones are simply mental ). Overall, better than I expected despite..everything, will keep playing to see if my poor nameless samurai can make it through all the chores.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
