Muramasa Rebirth cursed with third DLC chapter, is pretty sickle of it
The third piece of story DLC for Muramasa Rebirth is now available to download for $4.99. Titled "A Spirited Seven Nights' Haunting," the chapter stars the ninja Arashimaru, who is on a quest to survive after receiving a curse that limits his life to seven days. Armed with a sickle and kunai, players can tackle both new and old enemies as Arashimaru and also summon the snake-like spirit threatening to kill him in order to overwhelm enemies. The Genroku Legends series of four downloadable episodes for Muramasa Rebirth was announced in November and features new characters and stories with each entry. The first chapter, "Fishy Tales of the Nekomata" arrived in January followed by the second episode, "A Cause to Daikon For," in February. Muramasa Rebirth launched in June 2013 as the Vita port of Vanillaware's original Wii game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade. The game is free for PlayStation Plus subscribers to download this month.

Muramasa Rebirth's third piece of DLC dated for Western ninjas
Muramasa Rebirth fans nearly have a fresh excuse to rack up more combos, as the game's third piece of DLC will land in North America on July 15, with a European arrival following on July 16. Siliconera reports that both dates for "A Spirited Seven Nights' Haunting" were announced by publisher Aksys at this week's Anime Expo. Seven Nights' Haunting will focus on Arashimaru, the black-haired ninja in the above trailer sporting red athletic tape and a kusarigama, which is basically a sickle on a chain. Aside from firecracker-like projectiles and kunai, Siliconera notes that Arashimaru can also summon a white serpent called Shirohebi, which appears to be the beast seen at 1:08 in the trailer. While a price for Seven Nights' Haunting wasn't mentioned, Rebirth's previous pieces of DLC were $4.99 each, so that at least gives us a sense of what to expect. One last chapter should follow Seven Nights' Haunting, as Rebirth's announced DLC is all involved in a four-part "Genroku Legends" set of episodes. [Image: Marvelous]
