DOA Code Cronus is X360

By Tom Bramwell Published 2 June, 2005

Team Ninja confirms.

Dead or Alive Code Cronus is now officially an Xbox 360 game, Tecmo's Tomonobu Itagaki, head of "Team Ninja", has confirmed.

Speaking in his regular column in Famitsu Xbox, the series creator this month confirmed what he had suggested prior to E3 - that the game will appear on Xbox 360 along with Dead or Alive 4, shown at Microsoft's pre-E3 conference, and the successor to Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

Actual development only began recently, Itagaki told Famitsu Xbox readers, and the thinking behind the game's transfer to Xbox 360 seems to have been to do with maintaining the developer's reputation for producing the highest-end visuals.

Of course, knowing the platform doesn't get us any closer to finding out what Code Cronus actually is, but that's beside the point. Apparently. Educated guesses have it as some sort of action game.

As it stands, it looks like Ninja Gaiden Black - an amalgam of the original Xbox title and its various Live-distributed updates - will be Team Ninja's last Dead or Alive flavoured release for the original Xbox.

    Good to hear. Whatever DoA:CC actually is, it's more than welcome for 360 in my book. Now, Team Ninja, how about revealing Ninja Gaiden 2 platform also ?

    tpfkanep - very unlikely... titties have always been unsupported in Team Ninja productions.

    "Now, Team Ninja, how about revealing Ninja Gaiden 2 platform also ?"

    Team Ninja might very well be planning their possible ship-jumping manouver. We'll probably find out one way or another after TGS, when the next gen' machine with best graphics is decided.

    titties are never supported in these games, i mean just look at all the bouncing. the ladies are obviously unsupported.

    Wait, so DOA4 & DOACC arnt the same thing? hmmz, messa thinks itsa suspicious. Anyway, now that everyone found out that the PS3 is just another hoax/piece of shit, they start to reveal the real powerplatforms.

    sssshhhhhh, don't let the EG staff here that. ;)

  • SleepyMagpie #12 7 years ago

    Somewhat puzzled that EG staff hasn't heard the relatively substantial rumors floating around the net for a year or so, in part confirmed by Itagaki, that Code Cronos will be a DOA RPG of sorts. Where storylines and characters in the DOA universe will be expanded (oh boy) and we will get the chance to "live" the life of an assassin, a runaway shinobi, the worlds' most incredible bouncer, etc..

    I can't wait. Really. [^_^]

    DOA and all things Team Ninja is refreshingly over-the-top and un-politically correct. Yay for them.
