Devolver Digital reveals pixel art martial arts roguelike game Tenjutsu for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The game’s visuals are done by Dead Cells designer Sébastien Benard, along with Deepnight Games, looks to bring the action in the latest gameplay trailer that was released this morning.

About Tenjutsu

Set within the densely packed, neon-soaked streets of Kuroboro City, Tenjutsu follows former yakuza Ten as she attempts to rebuild her life after returning home from prison. Unbeknownst to her, Kuroboro’s underground crime bosses see Ten’s release as a threat to their power, and will stop at nothing to eliminate her.

Ten must build on the foundation of her martial arts training with new techniques and weaponry if she’s to stand a chance against the three syndicates pursuing her, but she must choose her path carefully: every victory makes the survivors stronger, and the last one standing will be the most dangerous of all.
