Ninja Gaiden Franchise Reborn Through Microsoft

Team Ninja's long-awaited Ninja Gaiden 4 is finally in development, thanks to a collaborative effort between Team Ninja, Koei Tecmo, and PlatinumGames. Producer Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that the project faced initial hurdles due to indecision on the game's concept. However, discussions between Koei Tecmo's Hisashi Koinuma, PlatinumGames' Atsushi Inaba, and Xbox's Phil Spencer ultimately led to the three companies joining forces.

Spencer confirmed that talks began as early as 2017, aiming for a sequel. The partnership with PlatinumGames, renowned for its high-octane action titles like Bayonetta and NieR: Automata, proved to be the perfect fit to realize the vision.

The surprise announcement last week was accompanied by the immediate release of a remastered Ninja Gaiden 2 Black for Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Initial trailers showcase Ryu Hayabusa as the protagonist in this action-packed title. Gameplay footage hints at innovative mechanics, including swift traversal using wires and rails, setting it apart from previous installments.

While DOOM: The Dark Ages dominated the Developer_Direct, the reveal of Ninja Gaiden 4 was a significant highlight. The game is slated for release in Fall 2025.
