Katana Inu

Katana Inu is an NFT-based fantasy fighting game offering fast-paced sword and spell fighting in Battle Royale mode and smaller group modes.

<p>Katana Inu recently announced its plans to switch game engines and move to Unreal Engine 5. Though there aren't any dates set for the switch, the developers will share more details in the near future.</p><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/katana-inu">Kanata Inu</a> looks to improve its visuals and gameplay aesthetics to the next level with the help of UE5. An engine switch of this caliber would allow Katana Inu to feature more detailed environments and increase character quality without performance penalties.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚀 <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24KATA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$KATA</a> Fam!<br>Unreal Engine 5 magic incoming! 🕹️✨<br><br>Brace yourselves for insane upgrades and don’t forget your sunglasses 😎<br><br>We’re fully migrating the game to UE5 soon with epic feature updates leading to Open Beta! 🔥 <br>Stay tuned!🫣 <a href="https://t.co/rTyERWj2FP">pic.twitter.com/rTyERWj2FP</a></p>— Katana Inu (@katanainu) <a href="https://twitter.com/katanainu/status/1883910521646428212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Considering Katana Inu's love for adding creative characters and skins to the game, like <a href="https://funjible.games/news/katana-inu-celebrates-trump-launch-with-new-character">Trump</a>, the developers can work with improved facial animation systems while introducing <a href="https://funjible.games/news/katana-inu-bolsters-roster-with-new-characters">new characters to bolster its roster</a>.</p><p>While the date may remain a mystery, the wording in the announcement suggests that the UE5 switch would likely conclude before the open beta, so potentially targeting this year. Such decisions may make fans wonder about the underlying reasons behind upgrading engines even when developers have a decently working product. The answer to this is future-proofing which impacts a game's longevity.</p><h2><strong>Some Switch Engines, Some Switch Blockchains</strong></h2><p>Upgrading a game's engine may not make a difference right out of the gate. However, it allows developers to have access to the most up-to-date tools to be used while creating new content. Fans can often tell the difference by the increasing level of detail in environments and characters.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/katana_inu_unreal_engine_5_2_4fb919f2f6.jpg" alt="katana-inu-unreal-engine-5-2.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_katana_inu_unreal_engine_5_2_4fb919f2f6.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_katana_inu_unreal_engine_5_2_4fb919f2f6.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_katana_inu_unreal_engine_5_2_4fb919f2f6.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Web3 gaming equivalent of this could be moving blockchains, like how <a href="https://funjible.games/news/pixels-moving-to-ronin-network">Pixels moved to Ronin Network</a> in 2023. This trend continued in 2024 and even in the first month of 2025 as many GameFi projects decided to uproot their blockchain operations and find a new home that better suited their needs. In addition to handling everything transaction and smart contract-related, gaming-focused blockchains provide projects with guidance and networking/collaboration opportunities that can turn into growth opportunities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Katana Inu excels at delivering high-octane fighting experiences and blending popular memes into its core gameplay loop. Most recently, Katana Inu added a new character inspired by the recently launched $TRUMP meme coin.</p><p>The $TRUMP meme coin was launched on January 18 by Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States. Soon after its debut, $TRUMP’s valuation saw a meteoric rise and reached a $14 billion market capitalization during its debut weekend. With hype levels through the roof, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/katana-inu">Katana Inu</a> added a TRUMP in-game character, which takes the form of a bear.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/katana_inu_trump_memecoin_launch_01_e6622a590b.jpg" alt="katana-inu-trump-memecoin-launch-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_katana_inu_trump_memecoin_launch_01_e6622a590b.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_katana_inu_trump_memecoin_launch_01_e6622a590b.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_katana_inu_trump_memecoin_launch_01_e6622a590b.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Considering Trump’s policies and actions have been considered bullish for the crypto world, Katana Inu’s playful nod to the president made Web3 gaming fans smile. At the time of writing, fans can <a href="https://play.katanainu.com/">play Katana Inu</a> through its standalone launcher. Though the game’s still headed toward its open beta in Q1 2025, it still releases gameplay updates full of new content. For example, Katana Inu recently <a href="https://funjible.games/news/katana-inu-bolsters-roster-with-new-characters">bolstered its roster with even more new characters</a>, like $TURBO and $AVAX. The <a href="https://funjible.games/news/katana-inu-raid-contest-ending-soon">Raid contest also ended recently</a>, meaning there’s plenty of content to enjoy in Katana Inu.</p><h2><strong>The Story Behind the $TRUMP Meme Coin</strong></h2><p>Launching the official $TRUMP memecoin was a historical development within the crypto scene. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump endorsed crypto-friendly policies while promising to ease the tough regulative environment that bottlenecked various blockchain projects in recent years.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🔥Hey <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24KATA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$KATA</a> fam!

During the process, the crypto ecosystem onboarded a considerable amount of new covers, as Moonshot <a href="https://x.com/moonshot/status/1881175788554420512">reported over one million daily active users</a>, with more than <a href="https://x.com/moonshot/status/1880783442243416505">400,000 users stepping into the blockchain world</a> last weekend.</p><p>The long-term effects of this launch are yet to be seen, but many are hopeful that it’ll enhance positivity around the crypto space while fueling a new wave of users and potential innovation.<br>&nbsp;</p>
