Tecmo Koei has announced its lineup for the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2013, and will feature some big name games based on popular franchises, with a few new IPs also to debut.
The biggest would be Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, developed by Team Ninja alongside comcept and Keiji Inafune, which will present a cel-shaded zombie hack and slash experience with a cybernetic ninja protagonist (so essentially Ninja Gaiden on crack). So far, Yaiba is scheduled to release in early 2014 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate will also be showcased alongside Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland, Dynasty Warriors 8 and Toukiden. It has also confirmed DOA 5 Ultimate for release on September 6th for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Another interesting title is Toukiden, developed by the Dynasty Warriors team that will focus on a demon slayer in an ancient, fantasy Japan setting. Key figures from Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja will also be present during the convention.
