Red Steel Offline Only

1up has the sad news that apparently Red Steel will not feature any sort of online play. Ubisoft Senior Project Coordinator Stephanie Langlous confirmed in an interview in the VIP lounge of the Nintendo of Europe website that, "Online will maybe one day be announced by Nintendo but it won't be for the launch [of Red Steel]. In terms of gameplay I can't reveal anything really but what I can say is that internally we are making tons of tests."
