Shinobi Rising : the 2023 roadmap

Good afternoon all!

Here is the roadmap for the year for continued development:

June 2023 - Patch 1.1: The community feedback patch We have had some excellent feedback from curators, reviewers, and gamers. Much of the feedback contained common themes about better difficulty management for the game and feedback on the level design. I felt the quality of the feedback loops in May were things that led to significant improvement ideas. We will be incorporating much of this in this patch. The goal is not to add new content but to refine and polish further what is already there.

September 2023 - Patch 2.0: The Killer Among the Reeds The first content patch launches, free to all that own the game. This patch introduces the second chapter in the series featuring Jin the Shinobi. This time, an outdoor mission to attack a convoy of illicit goods making their way across open land to their destination and to stop them from reaching their goal - before time runs out.

December 2023 - Patch 3.0: The Geisha Dillemma Jin is called in to investigate a murder of a prominent geisha and her lord. Set deep in a metropolitan city in central Katana-Ra, Jin must navigate the night dangers and threats of a downtown urban sprawl to discover an underworld plot to assassinate the ruling Keiratsu CEO - before it's too late.

All content drops for this game will be free of additional charge and update the main game. No DLC downloads needed.
