Wii launch game Red Steel was seemingly universally hated for it’s bad controls, but still must’ve had a lot of fans as it sold nearly a million copies. After planning Red Steel 2 last year, as a result of these sales Ubisoft is now developing Red Steel 2 for the Nintendo Wii. Going by last year’s Ubisoft job posting the sequel to the FPS game will feature RPG influences.
The latest issue of the UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine is reporting that the sequel to Red Steel will be out sometime in late 2008. It’s quoted to contain: “better controls, better AI, better multiplayer and online play”. Kotaku jokes they should call it Blue Steel, as a Zoolander fan I approve of this, but trademarks suggest it’ll be named Fighting Steel.
