Shinobi (忍) is an entry to the Shinobi series, though is unrelated to the 1987 Sega System 16 release of Shinobi. It was developed by Overworks and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2 in 2002.
The game was originally planned for the Sega Dreamcast, though development was moved to the PlayStation 2 after Sega moved out of the hardware business. It was followed by a sequel known as Nightshade.
