Ninja Blade arrives with teaser trailer and the most imaginative name ever

6:25 AM on 09.01.2008, Jim Sterling 15 comments

     Xbox 360

If you love games with ninja in them but feel that there just isn't enough of the things, you're in luck as From Software has a brand new one in the works. So far, all that seems known about Ninja Blade is contained with the above thirty-second clip. We can confirm that there is a ninja. Also, a blade.

Looks like aerial combat is the order of the day, and that at least so far, it's Xbox 360 exclusive. With only half a minute to go on, however, either of those things could change by tomorrow, and I would be shocked to not see it hit the PS3 too. Looks like another hack n' slash action game is in the works at any rate, and I'm always up for more of those.

Wow, dumbest ninja mask ever. Ninja masks that doesn't actually, you know.. mask the face = instant fail. At least wrap a scarf around the face or something like Hotsuma from Shinobi.

From Software are the ones responsible for Tenchu. Wich would be good, if you didn't account for the last 6-7 years or so where everything they've made has amounted to little more than steaming piles of poo.

Wow that trailer SCREAMED Ninja Gaiden. That was a combo of Haybusa's DoA4 ending and enemies from Ninja Gaiden 2.

@Fury-Genesis: Truly badass ninja don't need to wear masks at all, for by the time you've seen their face, your already in several peices on the floor.


There can never be enough ninja games. I eagerly await gameplay footage.
