With the Kickstarter campaign launching in just five days, publisher Grindstone and developers Triple Hill Interactive and Toko Midori invite you to take a closer look at artists behind some of the limited edition pledge rewards available for Die by the Blade.
Scheduled for launch in 2021 for PC and consoles, Die by the Blade is an intense one-hit-kill sword fighting game that draws inspiration from classic combat titles like Bushido Blade and Way of the Samurai. Set in a visually stunning ‘Samuraipunk’ vision of Japan, Die by the Blade fuses techpunk visuals and japanese-inspired aesthetics to create the perfect backdrop for the ancient art of sword fighting.
With the Kickstarter campaign going live on 13th October there will be many opportunities to back the project and join a community of fans all looking to support the next phase in the games’ exciting journey. In order to create a set of rewards to reflect Die by the Blade’s Samuraipunk theme and tense, character driven sword fighting combat, the team enlisted the talents of some true masters of their craft.
Grindstone is thrilled to be able to give you an exclusive look at some of these exclusive rewards and the artists tasked with creating them. Take a look below for the fascinating stories behind some of the top pledge rewards.
