SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance News

Here's the cheapest place to pre-order Shinobi Art of Vengeance

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a very appropriate title because it offers beautiful art in both the literal and figurative sense, and of course, vengeance is a big part of it. The game is a serious upgrade from its pixelated predecessors and is well worth the 14-year wait. If you're as excited for this new release as I am, then I recommend pre-ordering it through Fanatical, as this retailer is offering it at a 21% discount.
