Tenchu Z puts a ninja in your Xbox 360
Microsoft announced that localization has begun for From Software’s, stealth assassin’s action game, Tenchu Z. The title was previously known as Tenchu 360, because of its Xbox 360 exclusivity. The developer has said they will keep the franchise in the shadows of its predecessors. No release date was given yet for 2007.
Tenchu Z offers more than 50 stealth ninja missions set in ancient Japan. Slash up unsuspecting guards with a wide array of ninja weaponry including explosives and a grappling hook on your way to slaying the big boss. True Ninja mastery only comes with keen use of sound, sight and smell detection as you learn new moves and obtain new weapons. Patience and strategic thinking with use of the stealth kill system is rewarded over a run and gun style of hand to hand combat.
