Ninja Gaiden 4 – Bloodraven Form, Exploration, and Combat Detailed

by

At the Xbox Developer_Direct, Ninja Gaiden 4 might have been the most exciting reveal, set to launch later in this year as its developers are now focusing on refinement. The gameplay maintains the high-speed style that’s synonymous with the series, but there are numerous fresh elements to anticipate.

In addition to maintaining the ominous tone that characterizes the series, Tokyo introduces tense situations. With the corrosive rain wreaking havoc, you find yourself dashing through crumbling structures while skating on rails as the newcomer Yakumo. Venturing off the main path reveals secret items, puzzles, and other surprises, making it worthwhile to explore.

Enemies and adversaries resurface, accompanied by one-on-one combat scenarios where opponents can counter your moves. Timing your attacks correctly is crucial, but Yakumo’s abilities really come into play during group fights. The Raven Style is noteworthy, but the Bloodraven Form stands out as the most captivating aspect.

In combat situations against numerous adversaries, PlatinumGames director Yuji Nakao referred to this technique as “a method that alters both friend and foe’s blood into a colossal blade, capable of cleaving through many opponents simultaneously.”

During battles with multiple enemies, the director of PlatinumGames, Yuji Nakao, called it “a skill that changes our own and enemies’ blood into a huge sword, able to cut through several foes at once.

Yakumo employs the Bloodraven Form during combat, and under specific circumstances, he can execute a powerful attack called ‘Bloodbath Kill.’ This single blow swiftly divides opponents into two parts. These massive, high-damage attacks enable him to quickly shift the battle’s momentum when facing numerous adversaries.

Absolutely, you’ll find familiar techniques such as the Flying Swallow and Izuna Drop back in action, both Yakumo and Ryu Hayabusa have the ability to use them. But what’s exciting is that we have some brand-new moves making their debut in this series. And let me tell you, fans are in for a treat as both old and new characters will be joining the fray!

In the autumn of 2025, Ninja Gaiden 4 is set to release on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and personal computers. Additionally, it’s going to be accessible via Game Pass.
