Slave Zero X getting physical Switch release in Japan

Just last week, we found out that publisher Ziggurat and developer Poppy Works are bringing Slave Zero X to Switch on Feb. 21st, 2023. Today, we’ve learned that Beep Japan will be releasing not one, but two physical versions of the game in Japan.

Those in Japan will have the luxury of picking between two different physical releases for Slave Zero X. One is a standard release priced at 3,940 yen, and it includes the game, an instruction booklet, and a DLC flyer. The Limited Edition is priced at 6,190 yen and packs in a comic and art book, dual soundtrack CD and download key, a postcard set and an original sticker.

Slave Zero X is a stylish 2.5D character action game set in the biopunk world of Slave Zero (1999). Run & Slash your way through a dystopian future in this character action game which will resonate with fans of Devil May Cry, Strider, and Guilty Gear.

From the top of Megacity S1-9, the Sovereign Khan rules with fists of iron and flesh. Beneath the city’s rotting foundations, a vengeful warrior embarks on a journey to murder him. 4 years prior to the events of Slave Zero, Slave Zero X brings new life to a world where horrific, living machines known as Slaves are primed to become the latest tools of war in humanity’s long and bloody history. A secret band of warriors known as The Guardians hope to stop these biomecha from being unleashed upon the world, but one swordsman among their ranks has a different idea: use the enemy’s own weapon against them. By merging with a stolen Slave Unit Prototype, Shou will become a furious Devil in pursuit of killing a false God.
