Cinematic screenshots for Ninja Blade

And now we’ve got another chance to take a closer look at From Software‘s new ninja title, Ninja Blade. They said it was gonna be a cinematic action title. Judging from these screenshots, they sure fit the bill.

In case you still don’t know what the story is about, it’s set in modern day Tokyo, where parasites known as alpha-worms mysteriously appeared. These worms are no minute pests as they unleashed a wave of human destruction.

From what we’ve researched thus far as well, our ninja hero belongs to this exclusive and elite team that’s been called upon to get rid of these parasites in order to save the rest of mankind.

Hmm.. I was expecting nefariously crazy mad scientists and their weapons of mass destructions. But I guess worms will have to do for now.

Ninja Blade is set to come out on the Xbox 360 on January 29 for Japan, and is still on a TBA sched for North America.
