Stranger of Sword City was originally announced in June 2012 with a 2013 release date. [14] In April 2013, director Motoya Ataka announced that the game was "in the middle stage of development", with the music " about 80% complete." [7] However, it was announced in September 2013 that due to delays, the game has been postponed, and will instead release in early 2014. [15] In September 2013, Experience asked in for fans to submit concepts for boss characters, including "boss monsters for the end of the story, a top class boss for the middle of the game, a boss that has a unique fighting space like underwater or outer space, a flying or floating boss, a monster with scales, and "god" tiers for regular enemies." [16] A teaser trailer was announced on February 7, 2014.
