I’ve gotta say, this game is looking pretty amazing. Click on the trailer above to watch the official Red Steel 2 trailer from Ubisoft and see for yourself.  Also to add to our last post, we aquired a few more details about the game from GoNintendo:

• RPG-like leveling up system.
• Several gun and sword combos.
• First-person sword fighting is the primary focus, with gunplay as a secondary option.
• Not exactly an open world, but not a linear game either. You can choose multiple paths.
• There are side quests, as well as collectibles.
• Many enemies wear bulletproof armor.
• Boss fights.
• You will have the ability to travel back to older levels with your new abilities.
• MotionPlus will be used in various situations, not just combat, or opening doors.
• No multiplayer, however when asked about a downloadable multiplayer add-on, it was neither confirmed or denied, just stated as “possible”.

These ones are focused on the controls:

• Holding Z locks on your enemy.
• Holding C and swinging will do a block.
• You can switch lock-on any time.
• Screen prompts will let you know if you are being attacked from behind, you can press A to quick-turn in this situation.

Production began last summer, and the game is planned to be available by Christmas 2009.
