Various job listings for developer Spark Unlimited indicate the anime-inspired Ninja Gaiden spinoff Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z will be a third-person combat game on next generation consoles.

A senior designer listing details "tuning for a third-person action shooter on next generation consoles" in the job description. Spark is also hiring for a multiplayer engineer and AI engineer to develop network code for "multiplayer/co-op functionality."

An effects artist job and engineer position further corroborate that Yaiba will be a next-generation console title, although neither of these listings indicate it's a shooter. IGN inquired with Tecmo Koei about the information but received no comment.

Yaiba was officially revealed as a Ninja Gaiden game at the Tokyo Game Show this year. It's currently spearheaded by Dead Rising-vet and Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune with Spark Unlimited working in collaboration.


This is exactly what I was looking for in a thread about WiiU pro controllers.
