Team Ninja’s long-held ambition to create a new Ninja Gaiden installment faced a hurdle: finding the right concept. This changed when Koei Tecmo president Hisashi Koinuma and PlatinumGames head Atsushi Inaba discussed the project, leading to Phil Spencer’s involvement. Spencer’s suggestion for a collaborative effort between the three companies finally unlocked development.
Spencer confirmed discussions began as early as 2017, when he first approached Team Ninja about a sequel. Years of deliberation culminated in a perfect partnership with PlatinumGames, renowned for its expertise in fast-paced action titles like Bayonetta and NieR: Automata.
The recent announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4 coincided with a surprise release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, an enhanced version of the Xbox 360 classic, now available on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Initial trailers showcase Ryu Hayabusa as the protagonist in this action-packed slasher. Gameplay footage reveals new mechanics, including swift traversal using wires and rails, a departure from previous entries.
While DOOM: The Dark Ages dominated the Developer_Direct, the unveiling of Ninja Gaiden 4—a highly anticipated sequel in Koei Tecmo’s acclaimed series—generated significant buzz. The game is slated for release in Fall 2025.
