Announced Japanese -style cyber punk SHINOBI RISING. Stealth action where ninjas confront the dark organization

Developer W.R.K.S Games has announced SHINOBI RISING . The compatible platform is a PC (Steam/proprietary platform) and will be distributed in February 2023. In the latter half of 2023, it will be deployed for console.

SHINOBI RISING is a side-scrolling action game drawn in a cyberpunk world view. The stage is a fictional federal nation called Katakana. The protagonist is a ninja and seems to follow the truth of a child's death. In combat, it is possible to defeat enemies by making full use of ninjutsu, and can also avoid battle with stealth elements. The characteristic world that combines the near future and Japanese-style architecture is drawn in 3D graphics by Unreal Engine 5.

Katakana, the stage of this work, is built in a cyberpunk world view, incorporating the history and traditions of Japan. It seems that a tissue called Karats is depicted as a dystopia with a strong gap between rich and poor. In urban areas, crimes are constant and syndicate exists. A bloody world view will be developed. The protagonist's ninja is approaching the truth of the assassination of the Data family heir. He may be involved in some conspiracy in the process.

Katakana has advanced technology, and it is said that swords and guns developed with the latest technology appear. It seems that human body remodeling by cybernetics technology can be seen. During the game, a strong enemy who combines such technologies will appear. On the other hand, it is likely that the hero may be able to use state-of-the-art technology. I would like to expect a combination with ninjutsu.

It is W.R.K.S Games that works on this work. In the past, Blood Bond-Into The Shroud has been released. The studio is enthusiastic about developing works as Katakana Universe in the future. The world of Katakana may be depicted as various games in the future. In any case, let's look forward to the appearance of SHINOBI RISING.

SHINOBI RISING will be distributed in February 2023 to PC (Steam/original platform). It is expected to be deployed for consoles in the latter half of 2023. In late October 2022, store pages and trailers will be released.
