The game promises to bring high-stakes 1v1 combat to players who enjoy the " Samurai Punk" aesthetic, which fuses a cyberpunk setting with Japanese themes and sword fighting. Since then, Grindstone and Triple Hill have partnered with Kwalee, a publisher focused on both indie and AAA games for console and PC.

Initially launched on Kickstarter in October 2020, Die by the Blade reached its funding goal on the 29th and amassed a total of $25,167 in pledges. In fact, the developers at Grindstone and Triple Hill consider the game to be a new take on the classic samurai fighter from the PSX era. Focusing on one-hit kills, the game's samurai-inspired combat is likened to Bushido Blade. Upcoming fighter Die by the Blade demonstrates its visceral combat in a new video.
