Two female assassins take the lead roles in this PS2-exclusive 2005 addition to the influential stealth-action series. Fatal Shadows follows the adventure of Tenchu veteran Ayame in which she meets the kunoichi Rin. After an unconventional introduction, the two join forces to seek revenge against an unknown party that destroyed an innocent village and murdered all its inhabitants. The ninja heroines must make use of new abilities, such as multiple-enemy stealth kills, in order to achieve this goal. Another new feature allows characters to swim underwater in order to avoid detection. In all, Tenchu: Fatal Shadows boasts 18 levels and three modes of play.
