During The Game Awards that took place in 7 of December FromSoftware teased a new project which has led people in theorizing that it might be a new Tenchu game.Causes of those theories include:
1)The handwriting on the background is written in Japanese and it looks like its from the same period that the series takes places in feudal Japan.
2)The music during the video is Japanese.
3)The metallic item partly hidden in the center of the object is most likely a kunai,a traditional ninja throwing weapon.
4)The last message ” Shadows Die Twice. ” is highly suspected to be a reference either directly to Rikimaru or in general the fact that the concept of Shadows and its relation with Ninja & Death has been used multiple times during the Tenchu series.
5)The year 2018 will be 10 years after the last new entry in the franchise (Tenchu: Shadow Assassins,2008) and at the same time will be the 20 years anniversary of the series since Tenchu:Stealth Assassins,the first game was released in 1998.
Unfortunatly,according to FromSoftware’s twitter account we will hear more about the game in the next 12 months.It is indeed very likely to be a new Tenchu game but even if its not it seems that with this teaser full of Tenchu references FromSoftware wants to check in a way if people are still interested in the franchise.Nevertheless fingers crossed!
