Earlier this month, “Ninja Gaiden 2: Master Ninja Edition” was mysteriously released during Microsoft’s Developer Direct event. This action-packed game can now be enjoyed on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Additionally, subscribers to the Game Pass service can access it as well.

Created with Unreal Engine 5, “Ninja Gaiden 2 Black” combines elements from “Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2,” while preserving the challenging gameplay that the original Xbox 360 version was renowned for. In addition to the series lead Ryu Hayabusa, players can choose to control Akane, Momiji and Rachel as well.

In addition to launching Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Team Ninja has shared that they’re teaming up with PlatinumGames for the creation of Ninja Gaiden 4, which is expected to hit PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in Fall 2025.

As an excited fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be stepping into the shoes of Yakumo from the Raven Clan as the main character in Ninja Gaiden 4. While the specifics of the game’s narrative are still under wraps, it’s confirmed that Hayabusa will play a crucial role in the story. Can’t wait to uncover more details about this highly anticipated title!

According to PlatinumGames’ director and producer, Yuji Nakao, progress on Ninja Gaiden 4 is approximately 70-80%. Team Ninja leader Fumihiko Yasuda hinted that a beta or demo might be released to gather feedback from fans of the series.

It appears that the concept for Team Ninja and PlatinumGames working together on the creation of _Ninja Gaiden 4_ was initiated by none other than Xbox head, Phil Spencer.

Following Phil Spencer’s suggestion from Microsoft, I found myself embarking on a joint venture with PlatinumGames, Koei Tecmo, and our team. This collaboration was sparked by the proposal to revive the Ninja Gaiden series with a new numbered title, a project that hadn’t seen daylight for over a decade. With PlatinumGames’ impressive track record in action game development, including Bayonetta and NieR: Automata, we were eager to team up and bring this iconic franchise back to life.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Version 1.0.6.0 Patch Notes:

  • Fixed an issue where the options for DLSS and XeSS would not appear when selecting super resolution type on the Microsoft Store version of the game.
  • Fixed an issue that in rare cases made it impossible to progress after defeating certain bosses.
