Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and The Last Tinker developer Mimimi Productions have a brand new game in development, and this time they’re exploring feudal japan with a stealth title called Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.
- In the year 1615 in Japan, a new Shogun seizes power over Japan and enforces nationwide peace. In his battle against conspiracy and rebellion, he recruits five specialists in assassination, sabotage and espionage.
- The team must fight against the mysterious Kage-sama, who plans to overthrow the Shogun. They infiltrate castles, gather information through espionage, fight rebellions and ruthlessly eliminate Kage-sama’s allies. The group is comprised of very different personalities; working together as a team seems impossible at first. Yet over the course of many missions, trust is won and friendships are made. The characters develop their own dynamic and each member will face some kind of personal drama.
Similar in play to the old top-down Commandos games, Stealth Tactics will have players hopping from rooftops, ambushing enemies from alleyways, and even using the environment to eliminate their enemies in as stealthy a fashion as possible.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is due for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms sometime this fall. You can follow the game on Facebook, or on its official page.
