An official Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time announcement trailer has been been released, and it highlights the upcoming title’s gameplay.

Phil LaMarr will provide the iconic voice of Samurai Jack and Greg Baldwin will continue to provide the voice of Aku. Also, many favorite characters will also make appearances in the game. Notable mentions include The Scotsman, Scaramouche, and Sir Rothchild. Furthermore, this game will closely tie into the series finale.

Originally, Samurai Jack started its life as an animated series on Cartoon Network in 2001.  The series ran for four seasons, ending in 2004 without a solid conclusion.
