Countless Demon Blades are strewn about the world.
Once one of these blades is drawn from its sheath,
they immediately begin thirsting for blood.

Based on ancient Japanese lore, Murumasa Rebirth plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokugawa's thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Used in hatred, drenched in blood, the cursed blades condemn those who use them to tragedy, madness, and untimely deaths. As chaos spreads, denizens from the netherworld breach their realm as these malevolent swords summon evil spirits -- and the Dragon and Demon Gods as well.
Follow the story of Kisuke and Momohime, as they journey down the path of the Demon Blades to it's ultimate conclusion.
