THE BUZZ: XSEED has been on a role of acquisitions as of late, and today they’ve announced their latest upcoming title: Way of the Samurai 4.

EGM’s TAKE: Indeed—the latest chapter of Spike and Acquire’s Way of the Samurai series is coming Stateside thanks to the publisher. No exact release date or pricing announced just yet, but it was confirmed to be a digital-only release via the PlayStation Store. Sure, some people will be sad that there will be no physical release to purchase—but if the choices are “digital only” or “not coming over”, the choice is clear every time.
