A new report emerging out of hints that Sigma 2 could be in the works for the PlayStation 3 console, that's the word from the latest issue of local magazine Famitsu, reported online.

A new game is apparently planned for unveiling in San Francisco next week, so if Famitsu's report is on the money it seems there's a high chance this could be the new game in question.

The hardcore fighting title, a cult favourite, has been off the radar for some time, so failing a revival of Beach Volleyball, a new Ninja Gaiden offering does seem plausible.

Several previous iterations have been projects as well, so this news would also be encouraging for Sony.
