Red Steel 2 unveiled

via Computer and Video Games


The first images of Ubisoft's not-so-secret Red Steel sequel has emerged, via Nintendo Power magazine in the States.

According to the mag, the second sword-swiping Wii game is a first-person, cell shaded affair that uses Wii Motion Plus for sword fighting that "finally feels as real as you'd dreamed."

The first mag to go on sale with the full scoop will be Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK, on sale Friday, May 8. "In the magazine we'll be revealing all about the stunning MotionPlus slash 'em up and you'll be able to check out the first screenshots and read an interview with creative director Jason Vandenberghe," says the ONM team.

Apparently the game will feature minimal gore (Ubisoft's gunning for a 'Teen' rating in the US) and a fully single-player focus - so no multiplayer.

Other than that, the art on the cover and contents released on Nintendo Power's website shows what looks to be a Western gunslinger holder both a sword and revolver, suggesting dual-wielding gameplay.

So cell shading, no gore and no multiplayer. We hold out for more info before we go a bit mental.
