Team Ninja working on three new games

Team Ninja is working on three new titles, according to Tecmo’s new president.

Speaking at a press conference in Japan, newly appointed Tecmo president Yasuharu Kakihara announced that the beleaguered publisher’s star development team is working on three new games.

Sadly though, Kakihara declined to mention what these three games will be, or which platforms they’re in development for.

Team Ninja has been linked with several new projects in recent times, although nothing has been formally announced.

Indeed, despite all the upheaval that has surrounded the company of late – including the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki and the possibility of the company being taken over by Square-Enix – Tecmo’s new president was rather upbeat about the future.

“Tecmo is a world class game developer,” Kakihara said, adding that the company is “aiming to expand in the future.”

With the Tokyo Game Show due to kick off next month, hopefully it won’t be too long before Team Ninja’s ready to take the wraps off its next games.

We reckon one of them will be Dead or Alive 5.

It'll be interesting to see how these turn out.

Hopefully some new IP.

One will be shown at Tokyo Game Show :mrgreen:

DoA: Code Chronos is probably going to be one.

I doubt they'll have managed to get another NG ready in such short a time, maybe an expansion pack?

Ninja Gaiden needs a rest, or are they planning more versions of II, a la Black/Sigma?

Seriously though, that whole genre needs a break.

Considering the talent available at Team Ninja, it'd be great to see some new IP and a change from their usual (and seemingly comfortable) territories.

I'm pretty sure i remember Tecmo saying Team Ninja were working on a game that would have a global appeal. So there is a good chance we'll see that title soon.

DOA Beach Volleyball featuring Scarlett Johansson?

The sad thing is, something like that is plausible.

Bear's right. Whatever they are, we can be certain they will contain humongous melons.

heavenly sword 2?
