That voice actor is :scust:

So this is prequel then?
It appears to be a sequel (or reboot) as it’s taking place during the Edo period.

He’s based on the legendary actor, Toshiro Mifune:

I think the actual combat looks cool with the environmental stuff, thats a cool idea. Its gonna be like Jackie chain samurai action.

i do think the graphics are really unimpressive looking though. Not even just the fidelity but the art style is kinda ugly. Reminds me of the ps2 era Onimusha games in terms of visual clarity. Capcom is such a mixed bag with this stuff
