Here’s the new trailer released during Gamescom 2021: Aiko’s Choice returns to Edo-period Japan for stealthy, stabby missions, this time focused on the game’s disguise expert Aiko. The trailer above does end with a surprise, however, announcing that the expansion will also feature a new adventure featuring Mugen, the original game’s samurai. The love for the original Shadow Tactics was pretty universal at RPS, with our Shadow Tactics review calling it “a fabulous game – a game I think I prefer to both Commandos 2 and Desperados.” That’s high praise given Commandos 2 and Desperados were previously the champions of the entire genre. Developers Mimimi Games have already announced that they’re now working on a third real-time tactics game in a brand new IP set in “a whole new world, with a new setting, story and characters.” It has no name or specific details attached yet, but Mimimi own it outright, unlike Shadow Tactics and Desperados. I can’t wait to learn more, just like I can’t wait to play Aiko’s Choice this December.
