Konami announces Blades of Time for PS3 and Xbox 360
Konami seemed to have forgotten to reveal one of their new projects during their pre-E3 press conference. Blades of Time, a new hack-and-slash title, is in development by X-Blades maker Gajin Entertainment.
The title continues the adventures of X-Blades protagonist Ayumi, who plays a gunsword-wielding treasure hunter, out on a quest for bounty on an exotic and dangerous island.
The title will offer more than 40 different sets of melee skills and tactics, on top a bevy of magical skills. It’ll will also come with both co-op and competitive multiplayer support.
Konami’s released a teaser trailer for the game to get you excited. Watch it below.

Update#1
Birds of Steel isn’t the only game Gaijin Entertainment are developing for Konami. They’re also working on a hack-and-slash game titled Blades of Time, starring Ayumi, a treasure hunter. Ayumi finds herself stuck on a possessed island while searching it for treasure, and discovers it has special powers that she can take for herself.
Wait, Ayumi? That’s the name of the girl in X-Blades, and Gaijin Entertainment worked on that title, too. Yes, Blades of Time sounds like a successor to the game.
Konami say Blades of Times will have huge locales, including jungles, snow areas, ancient cities, temples and sky islands. You’ll have over 40 sets of skills to choose from, spanning melee, tactics, combos, and Order and Chaos magic.
You’ll also be able to perform a cool-sounding “Time Rewind” move that allows Ayumi to produce a clone of herself to help solve puzzles and take down enemies. There’s a dash ability to help you quickly close the distance between yourself and your opponents, too. Finally, Konami say Blades of Time has both cooperative and player vs. player multiplayer modes.
Blades of Time is in development for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Konami are targeting a 2012 release.
