Tecmo Koei and developer Team Ninja have finally presented the launch trailer for their upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3 hack and slash title, this time focusing on the story and the inner conflict of protagonist Ryu Hayabusa.

Ninja Gaiden 3 promises to bring a more realistic portrayal of its hack and slash experience but, as we saw yesterday in a gameplay video, it’s still going to be a violent and gory affair.

Now, ahead of the game’s release next week, its publisher, Tecmo Koei, and developer, Team Ninja, have presented the launch trailer for it.

In the footage above you can see that hero Ryu Hayabusa now has a cursed arm thanks to the evil Dragon Sword he wields against his enemies.

Besides the narrative exposition, you’ll also admire glimpses of his various and often bloody adventures.

Check out the video above and get ready for Ninja Gaiden 3’s launch next week, on March 20 in North America and March 23, in Europe, for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
