Redmond, WA (January 24, 2007) - Microsoft today announced that Tenchu Z is in development for the Xbox 360.

From Microsoft:

The stealth-action ninja game, “Tenchu Z,” has snuck into the Xbox 360 library. The Xbox 360 exclusive developed by FromSoftware will maintain the legend of the “Tenchu” franchise through more than 50 stealth ninja missions set in ancient Japan. Slash up unsuspecting guards with a wide array of ninja weaponry including explosives and a grappling hook, on your way to slaying the big boss. True ninja mastery only comes with keen use of sound, sight and smell detection as you learn new moves and obtain new weapons. Patience and strategic thinking with use of the stealth kill system is rewarded over a run and gun style of hand to hand combat.

“Tenchu Z,” the North American localized version of “Tenchu Senran,” will be published by Microsoft, and no release timing is available at this time.
