Developer Direct showcased more than just DOOM: The Dark Ages; the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4 also made a splash. Set for an autumn 2025 release, the game promises a thrilling return to the action-packed slasher gameplay fans love.
The reveal trailer highlighted Ryu Hayabusa's return as the protagonist, navigating a cyberpunk city drenched in perpetual toxic rain. New mechanics, such as swift traversal via wires and rails, were showcased, adding a fresh dimension to the classic Ninja Gaiden formula. Players will battle hordes of genetically modified soldiers and terrifying creatures in a quest to lift an ancient curse from the sprawling megacity.
Adding to the excitement, a major remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2, already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and Game Pass), was also announced. Team Ninja's UE5 port boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments, incorporating elements from later games in the series and adding three extra playable characters.
Koei Tecmo's efforts on both Ninja Gaiden 4 and the Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster are undeniably impressive and deserve the community's enthusiastic attention.
