Famitsu reports on the new Tenchu game for the Xbox 360 from developers K2. The sequel will offer more characters to choose from at the start. The game will offer greater character customization than in previous games, as well. Gamers will be able to alter their clothing styles and as they progress through the game, allocate points to improve their skills. Customization options will extend to the main character’s partner in the game.

Apparently there are changes to the stealth-based gameplay; gamers will have to rely on tighter auditory responses plus the sense of smell.
Hiding in shadows should also be enhanced in the Xbox 360 title as well as a host of other stealth-based changes.

The game is scheduled to ship this fall in Japan and pricing is yet to be determined. There is no scheduled release date for Tenchu 360 in the US at this time, but there is no reason to expect that it would not be released in this territory.
