The amazing 50% launch deal for the DRM Free GOG release of Way of the Samurai 3 has just got even better, as GOG have now added a further 15% discount off the price of Way of the Samurai 4 when you buy them together! 

To take advantage of this stunning deal simply head to the Way of the Samurai 3 Store page on GOG and use the 'Buy Series' option to buy both games. The additional 15% discount means that you'll pay just £23.98 in order to receive both of these incredible open world action games!  For some reason the price displayed next to the 'Buy Series' option does not immediately reflect the extra 15% discount, but if you check your cart after selecting this option, you will see that the discount will have been applied correctly. 

Also, while there is no Buy Series option with the Way of the Samurai 3 Deluxe Edition, you'll find that if you put both this edition and Way of the Samurai 4 in your basket then the full 15% discount should be applied. 

I hope that's all clear?  You're a clever lot so I'm sure you'll work it out :) 

And if you'd like more details on both games why not check Al's blogpost in which he compares the two.
