Europe to welcome Afro Samurai next year.

The big-haired revenge-driven Samurai is crossing the pond over to Europe come 2009, this according to the press release sent out by Namco Bandai and Atari.

While there is no specific date as to Afro Samurai's (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) European arrival, we're thinking it'll be at least a little after the January North American release date. That shouldn't be too long now, so get your bling on and get ready to cut your way through his aesthetically designed world of vengeance, with original hip hop musical score by The RZA of Wu Tang Clan.

We'll be keeping you posted for more updates as they roll in.
