Dororo E3 2003 Preshow Report

Sega has revealed additional details on Dororo, a single-player samurai action adventure game based on Osamu Tezuka's manga of the same name. You will assume the role of Hyakkimaru, who, along with the storyline and other characters from Dororo, has been changed somewhat to fit the context of the game. Joining Hyakkimaru will be Dororo, a thief who will come in and help solve various puzzles or engage in stealthy activities. However, Dororo will come in to help only when you've reached a context-sensitive part of a level where Hyakkimaru cannot go any further without Dororo's help. The game will feature five main environments that are divided into 10 stages each.

Dororo is scheduled for release in Q2 2004.
