The fact that female characters are now playable had to be kept secret, though at the same time some teaser hints had to be given out. To accomplish this double objective, an outdoor advertisement was created on a public street showing a typical ninja hiding trick of blending into a wall using a piece of cloth. How people were touching it was filmed and uploaded onto YouTube to trigger public interest. Before the game's publication, the installation was also displayed at the Tokyo Game Show alongside playable demonstrations that allowed visitors to play the new female characters.
