Arc System Works is bringing indie fighting game Slice, Dice & Rice to PlayStation 4

As Arc System Works is gearing up for its annual Arc Revolution Cup tournament, they released some surprise news: the company is planning to bring indie fighting game Slice, Dice & Rice from Steam to the Japanese PlayStation Store. This winter, Japanese users will be able to download the game for PlayStation 4 under the name Zan! Zan! Zan! (Kanji meaning kill/decapitation).

The game will be playable at Arc Revo as well. Dojo Games’ Slice, Dice & Rice originally released for PC this April. It features multiple characters, with a brief story mode. There are no health bars in the game — rather, a duel can be decided in one clean slash, unless it’s parried, or the hit clashes. There’s also a wound system, and aerial movement.

There’s no information yet on a Western release of this game on PlayStation 4. However, you can purchase it on Steam now; read up on our Slice, Dice & Rice review for more impressions.
