Ninja Gaiden 3 offers for the first time a look at the world through
Hayabusa’s eyes, showing what drives him to fight, and kill. At the center of
the conflict this time around is a masked man whose motivations and goals are
unclear. Through mysterious powers, he changes Hayabusa – and the lines
between hero and villain, good and evil, are blurred forever.
Featuring a new story, new gameplay and new modes, Ninja Gaiden 3 marks a
new direction in this fan-favorite franchise. Team Ninja aims to change the way
fans think about ninja and Hayabusa in this game, and promise that they’ll
know what it feels like to “cut someone down” through their experiences in
the game. The game will also feature online multiplayer, both co-op and
competitive, that will add a completely new experience to Ninja Gaiden. A new
Play Style system allows casual players to choose automatic guarding and evasion
assists (HERO mode) while giving core players the freedom to play with no
assists (NINJA mode). Pick up the Dragon Sword once more, sharpen its blade and
hone your skills. An adventure unlike any other awaits you…
Features:
- Cutting Down your Enemy: Through new gameplay mechanics and presentation,
players will feel what it’s like to cut through an enemy’s flesh and bone,
along with the consequence that comes with it.
- A Hero Unmasked: With a new story and new characters, players will learn
more about Hayabusa’s past and present life than ever before. Once seen only
as a mindless killing machine, players will unravel layers of their hero as they
see his motivations and learn about the man behind the mask.
- High-Octane Ninja Action: Built upon the same intense action that the series
is renowned for, Ninja Gaiden 3 will challenge players while still remaining
accessible for players new to the franchise.
- Online Action: A rich and challenging set of online modes are being
implemented, giving players the option to play cooperatively or competitively.
The “Ninja World” system lets players control and customize an ordinary
ninja to try to advance him to the top where Ryu Hayabusa himself reigns. New
challenges, characters and missions await those who choose to join the Shadows
of the World online!
