Set in the late 1570s, one year after the original Tenchu, Tenchu: Return from Darkness allows players to assume the role of the ninjas Rikimaru, Ayame or the mysterious Tesshu as they battle the evil Tenrai and his six lords of darkness. As silent assassins, players must use cunning, strategy, deadly stealth and an arsenal of weapons to overcome dangerous missions and defend the Japanese countryside from Tenrai's armies.
Tenchu: Return from Darkness will feature three gameplay modes including single-player, two-player (versus and co-op) and Xbox Live. The title will also include 11 stages of gameplay in the story mode with two new single player maps, as well as six multiplayer levels. Additionally, the game will feature all new cut-scenes, enemy layouts and will allow players to hone their ninja skills before embarking on deadly missions in the new training mode.
The title will support Xbox Live, allowing for two-player co-op missions through all six multiplayer levels as well as voice chat functionality for those who choose to break the code of silence. Players can also engage in simultaneous stealth kills as the online ninjas make their way through each danger-filled stage.
Mifuyu :
(which means "Three Winters") is the 20-year old daughter of the samurai Tadokoro and was trained by her father in the art of sword fighting and holds a high code of honor. Unbeknownst to her, her father was planning a rebellion against Lord Gohda. When she learned that her father was a threat to Lord Gohda, she became quite confused and killed her father in order to protect the family name. She is the boss character for the Samurai Mansion in the Rikimaru and Ayame storylines.
Tesshu:
Unlike Rikimaru and Ayame, Tesshu is not a trained ninja but rather a hired assassin. His existence is so secret that even Lord Gohda doesn't know of Tesshu's underground operations. His weapon of choice is a deadly spike.
