A sequel to Ubisoft Paris' Wii launch title Red Steel will be coming some time next year, according to the latest issue of the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine as reported by Gaming Target.

Currently in development, the game has yet to be officially named. The title will supposedly boast "better controls, better AI, better multiplayer and online play," according to the magazine. Critics panned the first game for its awkward use of the Wii's motion sensitive controller, among other flaws.

Many already speculated a sequel was in the works after Official Nintendo Magazine teased its current preview of the game in a prior issue with hints pointing to a continuation of the Red Steel series. Ubisoft has yet to release an official announcement of the title.

Their heart was in the right place for the first game but as a FPS gamer I just could play that damn thing. The first FPS that felt right was Metroid. If they can get the storyline solid like the first one with some workable controls I'll give the series a second change. BUT that's a big "if."

      EA watered Medal of Honor down. It's the second MOH game to hit the Wii and the first one, which was shovelware was an atrocity.
