Will this be the stealth game we need? I hope so. I need some hardcore stealth back in my life.

Beautiful recap as always
Yes, the game is coming out on retail too. PC + PS4 physical edition. It's already on Amazon UK, Spain and others! Should be up at amazon.com soon. There's some other physical goodies coming soon, but it's not up to me to announce that yet.
The game is currently at Sony's QA. It's our first time passing certification, so it might take a while, but I'm confident that it should be over by mid-August, and the game should be 'greenlit' for release mid-September. Not confirmed as we still need to pass QA, but that's what we are aiming for.
We will be sharing some new footage and previews through August, but what I can tell you is that the game is around 8 hours long + has online coop multiplayer + live orchestra for OST + we are working on new (free) game modes/features after release. If you are a fan of Tenchu 2 on ps1 you'll really enjoy some of those features..
Whoa. Bombs dropped.

How does co-op affect the gameplay? Are there cool ability synergies/strategies or synchronized moves like Splinter Cell?

fantastic and much appreciated info David
interesting to me that an indie title gets a ce. hope whatever physical stuff comes along with the game is cool. and the tenchu 2 inspiration is a good thing. if my memory serves me right, didnt it have a level editor?

By the way guys, I'm looking for playtesters for a closed beta (PC/Mac/Linux). I'd like to fine tune the difficulty and gather feedback during August. If you are interested just send me a PM or a DM on Twitter (xDavidLeon) with your specs and an email. Check out the Steam page to see minimum requirements.

What a shame it's not coming for Xbox One as well. Wasn't it at first planned for Xbox One too?

Ah damn man, just saw the answer by the developer on the first page. Xbox One was indeed a platform they were going for as well, what happened?

We want for digital+retail to release at the same time. If we can get the game to release earlier (on both digital+retail) we'll update the release date on amazon etc.
Gamedev is hard + console gamedev is even harder + very small team + better to just focus on one console at a time.

Very understandable. If i had a PS4 (next year i will go for Neo, not going to get PS4 now) i wouldn't mind. But i only have the Xbox One so far and i have been dying for something even remotely similar to Tenchu.
So there is a chance a Xbox One version is in the pipeline?

Probably depends if they make a lot of money from sales to then put into resources for doing a X1 version.

We'd probably need at least 6 months of development for 1 person to just get a proper port to Xbox One, so we'd need to justify those costs first = need good sales on PS4 + PC.

Yeah that makes sense. Well i wish you guys all the best. It's looking really damn good. I wish my Surface Pro (first one) could run this. But i bet it will melt it, lol.

I can't believe I've never heard of this before. This looks amazing! I love stealth games, and I love cel shading. I'll definitely be picking this up on PS4

Holy crap, color me impressed. This thing will run on a toaster!
Can't wait for this fall.

Only the vanish corpse ability. It's an unlockable skill, so you don't have it in the beginning. There's also other skills that make bodies disappear, like Shinen (a trap / C4 / black hole) and the Shadow Kills (summoning a shadow dragon / snake).
This sounds amazing. The item is still not up on amazon.com for the U.S. but I am pumped. I loved Tenchu and the idea of co op sounds great. Hopefully the co op is in the campaign and not just random missions like Assassin's Creed. I also appreciate the physical release. That is a huge part of what sold me.

The co-op mode is the full story campaign, not individual missions. It's a pain in the ass to sync the cinematics and other stuff, but it's super fun (when it's not bugged.. haha). Working hard on polishing everything now.
Keep up the good work. You have a new customer who will be looking at your future games as well.
