ChainVision Games' free-to-play PvP action game Katana Inu enters Early Access today, October 22, 2026. The studio also announced a partnership for a PlayStation 5 release, although no date has been set for the full launch.
Early Access Launch
Katana Inu, developed by ChainVision Games, officially launches its Early Access phase today, October 22, 2026. This free-to-play PvP action game, set in an anime-inspired universe, will feature live gameplay sessions and the first community event. The developers emphasize that this stage is crucial before the game’s full release, which remains without a confirmed date.
Gameplay and Features
During Early Access, players can engage in 1v1 battles starting at 5 PM CET, with rewards ranging from $50 to $100. Future competitive events are scheduled, and players can sign up for 1v1 and 3v3 sessions at register.katanainu.com, with the opportunity to earn further gameplay rewards. Notably, the game claims to be not pay-to-win, allowing newcomers to familiarize themselves with mechanics through a tutorial mode.
Versions and System Requirements
Katana Inu will be available in two versions: a Web2 version on Steam, which does not require a wallet or blockchain elements, and a Web3 version via the Katana Inu Launcher, where players can utilize NFTs and play-to-earn features linked to the KATA token. The game requires Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel i5 4th generation or AMD FX 6300 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card for PC players.
Future Developments
The studio has indicated that it is preparing for a global launch, seeking out strategic partners, while also confirming that a PlayStation 5 version is planned for the full release. However, details regarding the launch date remain unspecified. Katana Inu has been under development for five years, having undergone several public tests and a beta phase that began on June 30, 2025. The KATA token, which supports in-game transactions, was launched in December 2021 and operates on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base.
