XSEED is prepping hack-‘em-up Way of the Samurai 4 for a North American release, reports the PlayStation Blog.

In addition, the game will also receive a PAL release in 2012 courtesy of Rising Star.

The PlayStation 3-exclusive sequel was originally released in Japan over a year ago, and sees a lone samurai faced with a daunting decision: fight off British traders with a resistance group, join up with a group of fighting foreigners or aid the government to keep the peace.

The previous instalment, Way of the Samurai 3, was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2009.
