Microsoft har i dag ladet det sive, at vi kan vente os tre sommer-titler mere til Xbox 360 end først antaget. Project Sylpheed hylder flere klassiske side-scrollers og bliver forhåbentlig et friskt pust i en genre, som i dag næsten er uddød. Er du mere til ninja-baseret stealth-action, er det Tenchu Z fra FROM Software du skal holde øje med. Gamere med hang til det mere strategiske, kan tjekke Vampire Rain ud. Spillet er et taktisk-baseret shooter, som krydser over i horror-genren ganske godt. Nu er der dog tale om tre mindre titler, som ikke formodes at have den bredeste opbakning.


Hellerup — 10th May, 2007 — Whether it’s piloting a futuristic spacecraft in a distant galaxy, skulking in the shadows bedecked in a Ninja outfit, or struggling to survive in a rain soaked city against a vampire-like menace, the trio of Xbox 360™ titles – Project Sylpheed, Tenchu Z and Vampire Rain will require players to adapt to diverse and dangerous surroundings.
Each of the titles, all due for release on Friday 29th June, herald from Japan demonstrating the continued support of Xbox 360 from Japanese developers.
Project Sylpheed, a 3D space shooter developed by Game Arts and published by Square Enix confronts players with a staggering number of enemy craft to destroy. Square Enix’s legacy shines through the gripping story telling the struggle of protagonist Katana. Enriching the frenetic action is over 50 minutes of CG cutscenes.



Tenchu Z meanwhile is a Ninja Stealth Action game developed by K2 and published by From Software – the first Ninja title on Xbox 360. Set in Feudal Japan and reflecting Ninja mythology, in Tenchu Z players must incorporate stealth, sword-based combat and the ability to utilise a wide variety of ninja accessories to complete their objectives – all while taking into account how much noise they make, how visible they are, and even how badly they smell.



Finally, Vampire Rain, developed by Artoon and published by AQ Interactive is a survival horror game featuring 3rd-person military gameplay. The game is set in a rain-soaked city, inhabited by a mysterious, deadly, not to mention hideous threat – the vampire-like Nightwalkers. Stealth is a necessity in Vampire Rain – the Nightwalker’s abilities far outstrip those of the player and are only weakened by rainfall. In order to succeed players will need to master the use of Necrovision, which distinguishes humans from Nightwalkers. And pray for rain.
