Tecmo President: New Team NINJA Targeting The West

For those of you who were wishing and hoping to hear any bit of new information in regards to an upcoming new DoA during this year's E3, or in the near future (Tokyo Game Show) for that matter, don't hold your breath, you might just suffocate. Today, Yoshimi Yasuda, president of Tecmo Co., Ltd. announced that, with a new appointed Team NINJA leader, the company will be taking a whole new direction outside of the DoA & Ninja Gaiden series, and will be targeting the West with a new type of genre. More on this below:

With the absence of Itagaki, the team has taken on a new motto for game development, "New Title, New Genre, New Location, New Leader".

Team NINJA's new game will not follow Tecmo's past game genres like Fighting, Action, or Horror Adventure; instead they will focus on a brand new genre and focus on targeting the western audience, though details can not be disclosed at this time...

Yasuda, the president of Tecmo, announced to Bloomberg Japan today that Team NINJA with it's new leader has been appointed to work on a big budget title game with a new genre, and is expected to be completed next year.
