Trivia & Facts

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, developed by Japanese company Acquire, was released in 1998 and went on to sell one million units worldwide, prompting the creation of a second title.

The original's director Takuma Endo had wanted to develop a potential sequel on the PlayStation 2, but unfamiliarity with the new technology and demands from Western publisher Activision led to a sequel being produced on the original PlayStation, which Endo regretted.

The game's budget was ¥200 million, with a production team of thirty people.

The producer was Masami Yamamoto of Sony Music Entertainment Japan, with Activision's Pat Dwyer acting as associate producer.

Nobuhiro Obata returned to design an expanded level editor mode.

During production of both Tenchu and Tenchu 2, mistrust and tension had built up between Acquire and Activision over requests for changes, making working together increasingly difficult.
