Redefining Historical Martial Arts Combat

With the original game pulling in over 5 million players worldwide, Team NINJA is expanding on the foundational gameplay that made the first entry stand out. The narrative places players right back into the brutal, chaotic landscape of the late Eastern Han period. As various warlords contend for total supremacy, you take control of a nameless champion fighting across massive battlefields alongside the legendary heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

Mechanically, the focus remains tightly locked on high-speed deflects and aggressive posture management. Team NINJA promises an evolved suite of Chinese martial arts disciplines, offering deeper combo routes and more fluid defensive options to counter the aggressive AI. You will need every tool available, as the battlefields are completely overrun by massive demonic fiends alongside traditional historical armies.
