Ninja Gaiden 3 Takes Your Shame Public

Ninja Gaiden 3 Takes Your Shame Public

None

The latest entry in Tecmo Koei’s fast-paced action series, Ninja Gaiden 3, is no longer content to constrain its abject brutality to the single-player realm. After dabbling with cooperative online play in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Team Ninja is now prepared to introduce competitive online play for the first time in their latest shinobi-themed opus.

In an interview with Koei Warriors, the game’s producer, Yosuke Hayashi, discussed its length (8-10 hours), the variety of weapons (lots of katana of various shapes, sizes and, presumably, sharpnesses), and Ryu Hayabusa’s redefinition as a Batman-esque “dark hero.” He also worked in a little detail on the bloody, upcoming brawler’s online gameplay.



Specifically, players will be able to customize their individual ninja to make them as close to their individual definition of badass (or as similar to Ryu Hayabusa) as they can get. Online will have a ranking system, and players will have to work their way up through the ninja ranks to become number one, engaging in online combat with other players’ ninja who are also striving to advance.

One thing is for certain: good or bad, Ninja Gaiden 3 will certainly be a unique experience.
