Success has announced a sequel to their original dungeon-RPG Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja for Nintendo DS. Tentatively titled “Gouma Reifu Den Izuna Ni” (Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed 2), it’s set for release on DS in Japan in fall 2007.
The announcement mentions that a new character will be joining the cast, translates Insertcredit. No word yet on if Atlus will be picking up the sequel for release in America as well.
Incase you’re not familiar with the first game, Izuna is a kunoichi, a female ninja. She’s arrogant, and doesn’t often listen to others. Often tries to get her way by using her feminine wiles on the local townsmen. Izuna and her ninja clan are looking for a place to settle down after their old master decided that ninjas were obsolete, and booted them from his castle. Upon arriving at a village that’s suitably out of the way for their former “Grandboss”, Gen-An, they decide to stay at an inn when Grandboss wanders off…
While trying to find Grandboss, Izuna manages to offend the gods of the village, and everyone in the area starts behaving strangely. Now Izuna has to descend into the various shrines for the gods in order to set things right. No news on the sequel’s story yet, maybe she’ll be employed this time?
