Xbox Design Lab launched a special design for Xbox Series X|S controllers inspired by the game Ninja Gaiden 4, the latest installment in the popular Ninja Gaiden series, on September 24, 2025 (according to Xbox Wire).
These cool designs feature the main characters from Ninja Gaiden 4, Ryu Hayabusa and Yakumo, creating a look that will excite fans of the series. It’s sure to give players a surge of confidence as they face the dangerous traps and incredibly difficult bosses in this new Xbox game.
Here’s everything you need to know about this controller.
The Ninja Gaiden 4 Xbox controller is available in two versions: the standard Xbox Wireless Controller and the premium Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
The top of each controller features a unique design combining the iconic Red Dragon Katana of Ryu Hayabusa with the blue katana of the new character, Yakumo. Yakumo’s Oni mask is prominently displayed in the center, creating a bold, manga-style illustration.
Xbox Design Lab doesn’t limit you to standard controller styles. You can fully personalize each controller, choosing button styles and colors to complement the textured red and blue grips.
You can also customize these controllers with accessories like metal triggers and D-pads, comfortable rubber grips, and even downloadable files to 3D print your own unique thumbstick toppers.
Plus, the Ninja Gaiden 4 controllers work with both Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth, making it easy to connect them to a wide range of devices like Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PCs, iPhones, Android phones, or cloud gaming systems.
These special Xbox controllers for Ninja Gaiden 4 include a dedicated share button, making it easy to capture photos and videos of your best gameplay moments, like impressive victories or tough boss fights.

The special Elite Series 2 version of the Ninja Gaiden 4 Xbox controller offers features you won’t find on standard controllers. It includes faster trigger buttons, comfortable rubber grips that wrap around the controller, and thumbsticks you can adjust for more accurate control. This lets you make precise movements, land headshots, and execute combos easily while playing.
The Ninja Gaiden 4 Elite Series 2 Xbox Controller lets you add back paddles, giving you extra buttons for quick access to complex moves and making gameplay simpler.
This controller has a special button in the middle that lets you quickly switch between different control setups. It also includes a standard headphone jack, so you can connect your gaming headphones and fully enjoy the intense music of games like Ninja Gaiden 4.

I’m new to the Ninja Gaiden series, having just finished the fantastic Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. I’m excited to play Ninja Gaiden 4, especially after reading a preview by my colleague, Samuel Tolbert.
After more than ten years, Ninja Gaiden 4 aims to revitalize the series with intense, complex combat. Players can expect a vast array of weapons, incredibly tough enemies, and adjustable difficulty levels, making it accessible to both longtime fans and newcomers.
The game is scheduled to release on October 21, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 5, and PC (through Windows and Steam). I’m really excited to play it, especially with a special Xbox controller designed after Ninja Gaiden 4!
