Thanks Gematsu (click through for a lot more details, screenshots, and gameplay footage):
Publisher Spike Chunsoft and developer Acquire announced Way of the Samurai series spin-off swordplay action RPG Katanakami for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC during the Famitsu x Dengeki live stream on the third day of Tokyo Game Show 2019. It will launch physically and digitally in early 2020 in Japan for 3,980 yen.

In Katanakami, a samurai travels to forbidden land in order to save the daughter of the blacksmith kidnapped as collateral for his debt.

The swordplay action of the Way of the Samurai series has transformed into a hack-and-slash. Dungeons are automatically generated, so you can enjoy them anew many times over.

To be honest, I'm not sure how to feel. I dig Way of the Samurai, but turning it into a procedurally generated hack and slash is... A choice alright. How about y'all? Excited? Confused? Way of the Samurai 4 was released all the way back in 2011!

Will commit seppuku if old.
