Microsoft Unveils Ninja Blade
[09.01.08]
 As part of the same press conference at which price drops for the Xbox 360 family of consoles were announced, Microsoft has also unveiled new action game Ninja Blade for the first time.
Although the name was leaked several months ago, no details of the game itself have been revealed until now. The game will be developed by current Tenchu makers From Software, who also worked on the Otogi series for the original Xbox.
A brief trailer of the game shows a ninja character moving around contemporary Tokyo and fighting demons, in gameplay which appears reminiscent of both Tenchu and Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden series. The game is due for release next year as an Xbox 360 exclusive.
Also announced at the press conference was a new "Platinum Collection" range of budget re-releases, to include Ace Combat 6, Assassin’s Creed and others.
Several other previously-announced games were also demonstrated, including Capcom’s localized version of Grand Theft Auto, Fable II, Fallout 3, Infinite Undiscovery and a new Gundam title.
