Shinobido: Tales of the Ninja Returns on Playstation Vita

Namco brings ninja stealth action to the Vita's launch line-up.

In the six years since the first Shinobido game came out on PSP, the main character has gotten just a little stronger, but this is still very much a stealth game, one about keeping hidden and killing enemies before they've had the chance to see you.

The main character, Zen, runs around on Edo-period-style Japanese rooftops at speed, double-jumping between them and dropping onto guards for quick and bloody silent kills.

Shinobido 2's storyline revolves around three samurai factions vying for control of the country, and as in the first Shinobido, the plot actually changes depending on which missions you decide to take on. Shinobido 2 has been confirmed as a Vita launch title in all territories, filling the hardcore action game niche in the line-up.
