D3 Publisher and developer Shade shared a new character trailer for SAMURAI MAIDEN, introducing main character Iyo (voiced by Miku Ito).

“A ninja who serves Nobunaga. Fully equipped with shinobi tools, she is adept with gunpowder, bombs, and flaming kunai. Iyo has a great respect and love for Tsumugi and would give her life in a heartbeat to help her out,” her character bio teases.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

SAMURAI MAIDEN

The best of flowers are the cherry blossoms, and the best of samurai is JK! Defeat monsters in the Warring States Period using stylish swordplay action!

Choking black smoke from a temple consumed by flame. Furious cries of soldiers echo in the hallowed grounds. And the bearded man before you is none other than… Oda Nobunaga?!

Samurai JK, a master swordsman, is summoned to Honnoji Temple during the Warring States Period! She and her ninja maidens must enter the temple’s underworld, which is overrun by denizens of hell!

The Shadow Guard System combines Samurai JK’s sword skills with the ninja maidens’ nunjutsu to wipe out their enemies. Exhilarating battles unfold when training your team in the art of kissing, or the Kuchizuke no Jutsu, and much more!

Slay the demons of the Warring States Period and forge a bond with beautiful maidens in an all-new girls’ sword-fighting action game!

SAMURAI MAIDEN is set to launch on December 1st in Japan and on December 8th worldwide across Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
