The veil of shadow has finally come off the long-rumored Ninja Blade, revealing the title to be a ninja-themed hack-and-slash action game from Otogi and Metal Wolf Chaos veterans From Software.

Due out next year as a Microsoft-published Xbox 360 exclusive, the game will pack fast-paced cutscenes and high-tension action set in a faithful rendering of famous parts of Tokyo, going by an IGN interview.

The first details were accompanied by the above screenshots, with more information expected to arrive as the game's vague 2009 release draws closer.

I've already said it elsewhere, but I'm sort of bummed that From Software is reduced to making cookie cutter games at Microsoft's behest. If they can manage a ninja game with the From asthetic, then great, but I'd honestly prefer some more Otogi, MWC, or another of their unique worlds.

NG2 teaches us that inclusion of ninjas give a sort of carte blanche motif to game designers. Zombies with chainsaws for arms, cyborgs, bigass demons, killer dogs, hordes of little fishies, and mechs. And rival ninjas. Always rival ninjas. And you have to kill them least twice.

That said, I can't get enough of these games, so I hope they continue to improve on the whole ninja thing. Hopefully it stops being so uncomfortably similar to Ninja Gaiden.
