With the release of Red Steel 2 creeping up on us (23rd of March for the US and 26th of March for Europe), Ubisoft has decided to introduce us to a few new characters that we can expect to meet in the Caldera desert.

First up we have a lovely dame who goes by the name of Tamiko, then comes the grizzled ol’ Sheriff of the West (whose name has yet to be revealed), a wise old man called Jian who will apparently be kinda helpful, and last but not least Songan, a rather serious looking individual.

You can see the first screenshots of these new characters below as well as a new “Hidden Moves” featurette video where you can marvel at the different ways in which the Swordsman can finish off his enemies. Of course you can also read our previous coverage and hands-on preview of Red Steel 2 to find out more about what you can expect from this Wii exclusive, Wii Motion Plus supporting, first person sword and gunplay action title.
