Out for roughly a week, Askiisoft’s Katana ZERO has already done fairly well for itself. According to the developer on Twitter, the 2D action platformer has already sold more than 100,000 copies on PC and Nintendo Switch. This makes it the second fastest-selling title for publisher Devolver Digital on Switch with Dodge Roll Games’ Enter the Gungeon being the first.
Thanks to the game’s success, players can expect some DLC in the future. What this DLC will be is unknown Askiisoft did confirm that it would add a Speedrun Mode in the future as well. So if you’re bored of beating Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in 25 minutes (or less), this might be pique your interest.
