2025 is looking to be the year of the Samurai & Ninjas with titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ninja Gaiden 4, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Ninja Gaiden 2: Black, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and today’s topic – Shadow of the Road.

This game, developed by Another Angle Games and published by Owlcat Games, is an upcoming CRPG set in an alternate-fantasy vision of 1800s Japan. In Shadow of the Road, players will take control of a band of intriguing characters traveling the land to decide Japan’s future while battling dangerous ninjas, samurai, steampunk mecha, and horrifying Yōkai along the way.
