Samurai Academy: Paws of Fury – Hank Returns for a Wacky Samurai Adventure 🐶⚔️🐱

The world’s furriest samurai is back — and this time, the stakes (and laughs) are higher than ever. Samurai Academy: Paws of Fury, developed by Fishing Cactus and published under Maximum Entertainment, is an upcoming open-world 3D action sandbox game that thrusts players once again into the chaotic, cat-filled land of Kakamucho.

A follow-up to Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, this quirky, anime-inspired action-adventure blends over-the-top battles, comedic storytelling, and heartfelt camaraderie — all with a tail-wagging twist. While its release date remains unconfirmed, the game is slated for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PC.

🐾 The Story: Hank vs. the Shogun’s Cat Armies

Just when peace seemed possible, Hank and his wise mentor Jimbo are pulled back into the fray. The once-mighty Shogun, who appeared to soften in The Legend of Hank, has had a mysterious change of heart. Fueled by vengeance, he unleashes his cat armies to crush Hank, Jimbo, and every village under their protection.

From Kakamucho to the far-flung settlements of Dookiehill and Pippishore, players must rally allies, defend villages, and outwit the Shogun’s bizarre and powerful minions — including ninja ambushers, Viking cats, and jetpack-wielding elites.

As the trailer teases: “The paw of destiny strikes again… and this time, fur will fly.”
