It' s been a while, since I last heard about this game.

However, from what I remember, it is a DOA RPG.

I' ll do some lookin' and let you know if I find anything more...

Well, after a bit, I found what I believe to be the definitive answer for you...

This comes from IGN:

May 27, 2004 - In a recent interview with EGM and in an interview with Kikizo Games, Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki confirmed that a sequel to the Xbox-exclusive Ninja Gaiden was indeed a reality. However, Ninja Gaiden 2 would not ship until after Dead or Alive 4 but before Dead or Alive: Code Cronus.

Fans of Team Ninja will be all too familiar with the name Code Cronus, though there remains little actually known about the game. The name, for instance, is just a a code name and not the final production title. A pet project for Itagaki, Code Cronus is not a fighting game or a sports game, but is " a game for fans of Dead or Alive." Cronus is believed by many to be an action RPG. Whatever the case, it would almost certainly ship for Xbox Next, as it likely wouldn' t see release until at least 2006 if not later.

When asked about the concept behind Ninja Gaiden 2, Itagaki would only say that it would be along the same lines as the first Xbox title. If you' re trying to keep up with the release schedule for Team Ninja games, here' s the planned order of release:

Dead or Alive Ultimate - September 2004
Dead or Alive 4 - 2005
Ninja Gaiden 2 - Unknown (2006 likely)
Dead or Alive: Code Cronus - Unknown (2006 or 2007 likely)
We' ll have more on all of these titles anytime Itagaki wishes to reveal more.

Wow, I love the way that even when the original source is Kikizo, people still cite IGN as the source! Especially when the originating link is still highlighted on the left of this very page!

Well! I guess I' ve been bit**-slapped!

The left side of this page lists nothing directly about DOA: Code Cronus...it states the interviewee' s name...I performed a search through Google to get the requested information based upon the the game' s name. The reason I listed the source as IGN, is because that' s where I actually found the story.

I figured that the requester had already checked the Kikizo site...go figure.

In the end, proper credit was given to Kikizo...
