Team Ninja's long-awaited Ninja Gaiden 4 is finally in development, a collaboration born from conversations between Koei Tecmo, PlatinumGames, and Xbox. Producer Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that the studio struggled to solidify a concept for years before discussions with Koei Tecmo president Hisashi Koinuma and PlatinumGames head Atsushi Inaba, ultimately leading to Phil Spencer's involvement and the formation of this three-way partnership.
Spencer confirmed that initial talks began as early as 2017, focusing on a potential sequel. The collaboration with PlatinumGames, renowned for titles like Bayonetta and NieR: Automata, proved the perfect fit to bring the fast-paced action the series is known for to a new generation.
The surprise announcement last week was coupled with a simultaneous release of a remastered Ninja Gaiden 2 Black for Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Early footage showcases Ryu Hayabusa returning as the protagonist in this action-packed slasher. Ninja Gaiden 4 introduces innovative mechanics, including agile traversal using wires and rails, setting it apart from its predecessors.
While DOOM: The Dark Ages dominated the Developer_Direct headlines, the reveal of Ninja Gaiden 4, a highly anticipated addition to the Koei Tecmo franchise, generated significant buzz. The game is slated for release in Fall 2025.
