Still due out in 2023
A fresh TGS trailer for dev diary gives us an advantage of Team Ninja''s approach to this masocore (their words) action game.
Fumihiko Yasuda (producer) discusses how when he was contemplating the future of the series, he started exploring a worldview distinct from Sengoku-era Japan. A story based on Chinese martial arts was a good fit to convey this concept, and was a perfect way to distinguish a new project from.
The tension of the era will be represented with a large focus on the concept of the dark world, which will likely have a baseline intense experience. We get to see a brief look at the upcoming character creation menu. Variation between players in an online setting was utilized as one reason for avatar customization, as well as a focus on a historical story.
Team Ninja is busy, as they also have a director, which includes Yasuda (though well you should have to know how to wait until 2024 for that one), and im just glad they''ve returned to the mix.
With a range of recent universally-liked projects under their belt, new announcements are met with glee rather than a groan. There was a rough patch there that was capped off by, but they effectively counterbalanced that with that same year, into reestablishing dominance three years later.
