Oni, latest PS3 project from Koei

Koei announced plans for a new PS3 project, known only as Oni. Although the title has no relation to the 2001 Bungie game of the same name, it is being developed in coordination with an upcoming film based on a screenplay by the late great Kurosawa. Not surprisingly, given a number of other Kurosawa films, the story focuses on a samurai warrior in search of his destiny amidst warring 16th Century Japan. The only other known detail is that the samurai happens to be blonde haired. We're sure we'll be learning plenty more before the game and film are released in 2006.
