Spike TV's original anime featuring Samuel L. Jackson is heading over to PS3, as revealed in a Namco Bandai event today. The Afro Samurai game, scheduled for a Fall release later this year, promises to bring an "elegant violence" with stylish sword fighting. Interestingly, the music plays a large role in the game -- enemies will respond in tandem with the music.

Fans of the franchise will be glad to know that Sam Jackson will reprise his role as Afro, and the music of RZA and Chuy Gomez will set the tone for the new adventure. See our brand new screenshots in our new gallery, and check out a trailer, after the cut.
