Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is scheduled for a March 4th release on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Read on for the announcement.

Today Team NINJA kicks off the four part YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z developer diary series detailing the conception, tools and madding plight of the twisted cyber ninja known only as ?Yaiba?.  In the premiere episode ?Bloody Beginnings?, Team NINJA, Comcept and Spark Unlimited all share their thoughts on the collaboration between the three development teams and how the creative fusion of each team?s strengths has melded both Japanese and Western game styles to create something truly unique. Commentary includes perspectives from Executive Producer, Yosuke Hayashi and Producer, Kohei Shibata (Team NINJA), Conceptor, Keiji Inafune and Producer Shinsaku Ohara (comcept), Lead Game Designer, Cory Davis and Lead Gameplay Engineer, George Mawle (Spark).

In YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z, players will battle fierce zombies as Yaiba, a cyborg ninja who will do anything to get revenge and stay alive. Cleaved in two, he is brought back to life with cyber-technology. Brandishing his ninja sword and the mecha weapons in his cyber arm, he slaughters zombies with brutal, over-the-top abandon. Step into a stylized living comic book where stunning graphics depict a world gone mad. Hordes of undead can only be stopped by Yaiba?s willingness to use any means necessary to get the job done. Will he kill by turning hiscyber arm into a razor chainsaw for slicing up undead?or just rip off an opponent?s arms to use as zombie nunchucks? Both possibilities fill Yaiba?s heart with twisted laughter in this upcoming collaboration between famed developers Team NINJA and comcept?s Keiji Inafune.

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z will be available for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Steam (PC) March 4, 2014. This title has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
