Ni-Oh Still In Development for the PS3

Ni-Oh, a PlayStation 3 exclusive announced by KOEI way back in 2005, assumed to be cancelled, is still in development.

The game was about a group of monks assigned to protect Buddha, based off a script movie benned by Japanese director, Akira Kurowasa. However, Kurowasa’s movie was cancelled, so many assumed the game was shut down as well.

The latest issue of Famitsu magazine changes that though. Famitsu confirmed with KOEI that Ni-Oh is still in development exclusively for the PlayStation 3. However, that’s all they give us.

We’re expecting details to roll out sometime this year. Check out the scan here.
