<p>The 2D action-platformer <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/katana_zero">Katana Zero</a></strong> is absolutely killing it on the Nintendo Switch right now – in more ways than one.</p>
<p>According to the game’s publisher Devolver Digital, it has managed to become the company’s second fastest selling game on Nintendo’s hybrid platform, right behind the 2017 hit, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/enter_the_gungeon">Enter the Gungeon</a></strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Shout out to @askiisoft as Katana ZERO is our second fastest selling Nintendo Switch game behind Enter the Gungeon!<br />Thrilled for the dev team and thankful for the support of @NintendoAmerica and @NintendoEurope!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Although no exact figures were provided by the publisher, not long after this, Katana Zero’s developer Askiisoft revealed the Switch and PC version had surpassed a combined total of 100,000 sales in the game’s launch week.</p>
<p>The developer also mentioned how work on the first <em>free</em> DLC, including a speedrun mode, was already underway:</p>
