Story trailer for an action game is wild 😂 You'd think among KOEI TECMO, Team Ninja, and Platinum someone would think to drop a Combo MAD trailer or something to showcase the cool action—the freaking selling point—instead.

This isn’t an upstart trying to make a name for themselves. It is the fourth game in one of the most legendary sub-franchises (that is part of one of the most legendary franchises) by two of the most established and tested developers out there. Like, Platinum have had a rough few years but the actual combat of their games is still almost universally praised and Team Ninja are arguably even bigger at this point.

I would love to see more actual gameplay. But nobody is going to decide to buy this, one way or another, based on gameplay footage. We already know what the game is. And a story trailer is a better sizzle reel for the keighleys audience.
