FromSoftware Is The Only Studio Capable Of Reviving Tenchu

Tenchu pioneered the stealth genre but has since faded into obscurity. Here's why FromSoftware is the only one that can revive it.

"Here's why FromSoftware is the only one that can revive it."
I mean, yeah? They hold the Tenchu IP... Not like anyone else could do something with it. It's a real shame they haven't done anything with it though. Sekiro was nice, but it wasn't Tenchu. I'd much rather have had a Tenchu remake/reboot than Sekiro, honestly.

It's almost as bad as that article where someone wrote "Armored Core 6 should get the FromSoftware boss treatment".

It's like the writer had no clue Armored Core was ALWAYS made by FromSoftware from the very start of the series

I still remember kings field. That was the og fromsoft game if I remember right. Game was hard af. Alot in their games today can be traced

Or I just can't remember. This was 97 98

@shinoff

I would love a new King's Field. It's been over 21 years since the last main release though.

[shinoff2183]

Porkchop,

It was pretty tough at first. I originally never heard of it. I was upstairs at a neighbors smoking and said to then hey let me check a game out. I went to my apartment threw it in and was hooked. Very fun but hard game till you get the hang of it.

Tenchu remake plz

[isarai]

I hate that that's originally what they were doing, and turned it into Sekiro instead early on.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Not without Acquire they're not.

Such enjoyment playing Shinobido on PSP and the UK PS2 game. The spiritual successor to Tenchu. Don't forget the developer. The same ones that developed the original game and Way of the Samurai.

[Snookies12]

Wasn't there a Shinobido 2 on Vita? I recall playing the series. It had some of the spirit of Tenchu, but it was just lacking something. Couldn't quite put my finger on what exactly that was. Way of the Samurai (the original) will always hold a special place for me though. There was absolutely nothing else like it when it first came out. I spent hundreds of hours playing it again and again. Which reminds me that I still need to finish WotS 4 as well...

[ApocalypseShadow]

There was a sequel. They tried some different things over time. I didn't buy a Vita though. So I didn't get to play the game. Only seen video of the sequel. But Acquire made that feel from Tenchu to Way of the Samurai to Shinobido. From didn't.

From might make a good Ninja stealth game. But it may not have the same feeling from it. As Isarai said above, From started making a Tenchu game and ended up with Sekiro. Good. But just not the same.

[TheColbertinator]

Great games. Imagine the mechanics,art and music of Tenchu combined with the graphics engines of Like a Dragon.

[shinoff2183]

I'd still rather see them do a sci fi focused game.

[Bathyj]

I've wanted a Tenchu for so long. Since Tenchu X on X360.

But honestly the series never got the AAA spit shine it deserved and Ghost of Tsushima has scratched my itch..

But I would still take a new one in a heartbeat. I was thinking about it the other day. Make it in VR so I can sneak up on someone, hold their head back from behind and open their throat.

[Z501]

GoT stealth (ghost mide) leave alot to be desired. You're not rewarded for being stealthy like Tenchu games.

[Lightning77]

I was just thinking about this game tye other day. Tenchu is one of my top 5 faves easily. A Tenchu collection remake on PS5 is a MASSIVE wet dream......

[Dandalandan117]

I would love to see a Tenchu remake developed by Bluepoint

[HeliosHex]

I would absolutely be thrilled for a new kings field or a shadow tower remake.

[DarXyde]

I remember seeing the early teasers for Sekiro thinking it was Tenchu. My damn heart must've skipped a few beats. I'm glad Sekiro was made, but Tenchu was such a formative game and the last one was bloody awful (Tenchu Z/Senran). They can't go out like that.

With Armored Core coming back, I'm hopeful.

[Ahytys]

I loved tenchu, but do we need to revive everything? Do new stuff!

[henbayward]

This right here. I played the hell out of the OG Tenchu and loved it, but this trend of constantly reviving stuff needs to die off, even if said stuff is stuff I love.

[Z501]

Aragami 2 recommend for a Tenchu fix.
*Sekiro is combat based. Not stealth based.
*Ghost of Tsushima has stealth but you're not rewarded for it. It's optional. Unlike Tenchu/Aragami

[JunonZanon]

Tenchu MP was amazing.

[CrimsonWing69]

Not really, but it’s their IP so technically, yes.

[Petebloodyonion]

Why do we need a Tenchu remake/re-release/remaster when there are a dozen games that are similar in the stealth killer genre?
Now I do have fond memories of the game but let's be honest, nobody was playing it for the story (You're a bad boy now lol!).

[hotnickles]

I’d buy a new tenchu.

[Soulsborne]

Its their own ip.... i hate new eldenring bandwagon fromsoft fans.

[Terry_B]

bs article.

[anast]

When you write about games you should know about games.

[Psychotica]

More Dark Souls\Elden Ring type games please..

[HyperMoused]

I feel like Sekiro was Tenchu really

[Orchard]

From a business sense, as the IP owner, yes. But I'm actually not sure I'd say FROM are the best company to revive Tenchu.

I would love to see a remake though!
