On October 22, 2026, the game development group Askiisoft announced that it is still working on a free DLC for the 2D action game *Katana ZERO*, which the group developed and released in 2019.
The DLC, which was reported to be “nearing completion” in 2025—will it finally be finished this time?
*Katana ZERO* is a stylish noir 2D action game where players wield a katana as they race across the battlefield.Released on Steam in 2019, as of October 23, 2026, it has earned an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, with 97% of 66,598 user reviews giving it a positive rating.
It was revealed back in 2020 that free DLC was in development, and fans of the game have been eagerly awaiting its release.
In April 2025, the announcement stated, “The DLC is coming soon, and it will remain free,” leading many to believe it was just around the corner, but a period of silence followed.
Then, on October 22, it was reported once again that the DLC is currently in active development.
Regarding this DLC, they stated, “We’ve made it even bigger. It’s the size of a full sequel, complete with a new soundtrack featuring over 30 tracks,” so we can expect it to be incredibly substantial.
It remains unclear whether this DLC will be released soon or if we’ll have to wait another year or more, but let’s look forward to what it has to offer.
"Katana ZERO" is currently available for PC (Steam, Humble Store, GOG.com, Microsoft Store), XBOX One, and Nintendo Switch.
