In the black of the night (how appropriate!) aNinja Gaiden 2details page appeared onMicrosoft’s official Japanese Xbox 360 Web site. Complete with the screenshots shown here, the game was listed for a 2008 release, which likely means 2010 since we’re talking about Team Ninja here.

Not surprisingly, the game looks absolutely gorgeous, with large, lush environments and detailed enemies. The screenshots display a surprising amount of violence, even for aNinja Gaidentitle. Itagaki, a fan of theGod of Warseries, obviously doesn’t like being one-upped — consider the gauntlet thrown, Kratos.

While the page no longer exists, the damage (including various decapitations and flying limbs) has already been done. If we needed any confirmation thatNinja Gaiden 2is going to be revealed in some form or another at next week’s Tokyo Game Show, this is it.
