Blood Will Tell er Segas forsøk på å fange oss i en moderne og manga inspirert samurai historie. Spillet ble først annonsert under det japanske navnet Dororo, men har nå altså byttet til en mer vestlig klingende tittel.
Spillet skal lanseres i første kvartal av 2004 i japan og USA, mens vi europeere må vente litt lenger - som vanlig. Her er de første skjermisene og et utdrag fra den første pressemeldingen, da spillet fremdeles het Dororo:
"Dororo" is a modern day action epic adapted from the classic manga by Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy). Like the original manga the game follows the adventures of Hyakkimaru, a samurai haunted by a shocking secret, who is on a quest to uncover his past and regain his humanity. As a newborn baby he was robbed of every limb, organ and even his flesh and had his humanity replaced with a myriad of ways to deal out death.
Players can choose to battle with various weapons such as blades embedded inside Hyakkimaru's arms, a bazooka hidden inside his leg, or weapons that are found during the course of the adventure. At every step of the way Hyakkimaru's friend Dororo will be there to help you, guide you, and fight alongside Hyakkimaru as you explore and unravel the mystery of his past. "Dororo" delivers the ultimate Samurai fighting experience with intense 3D action from one of Japan's most famous storytellers. Only through cooperation, exploration and extreme violence will Hyakkimaru ever be able to live a normal life. Until that time you must learn to live life as the ultimate concealed weapon.
