A few days after everybody found out about Ubisoft's Red Steel, a launch title for the Nintendo Revolution, the publisher has sent out a press release confirming that, uh, it exists.
You'll have to buy the new issue of Game Informer magazine to see any screens or read in-depth details on the game, though, as they've got the exclusive sewn up and no amount of begging on my part is going to get Ubisoft to send me a screenshot.
Red Steel is set in modern-day Japan. Players will master
both the ancient art of the katana and the sophisticated technology of modern
firearms taking advantage of the emotion and immersive gameplay possible only
with the Revolution’s remarkable controller.
"We're honored to announce this exciting new franchise and we're confident that
Red Steel will be the must-have title for the Revolution when it launches," said
Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. "We have been working closely
with Nintendo to take full advantage of the innovative controller to create a
thrilling experience that can only exist on the Revolution."
"Nintendo is excited to have Ubisoft bring Red Steel to the Revolution launch
lineup," said Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president of sales and marketing
at Nintendo of America. "Ubisoft makes some of the most innovative and
critically acclaimed games in the industry and from what we have seen from Red
Steel it is going to be a standout exclusive title on the Revolution."
