Developer_Direct showcased more than just DOOM: The Dark Ages; the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4 also made a splash. Set for an autumn 2025 release, the game promises a thrilling return to the action-packed slasher gameplay fans love.
The debut trailer highlighted Ryu Hayabusa's return as the protagonist, navigating a cyberpunk city drenched in toxic rain. Ninja Gaiden 4 introduces innovative mechanics, including swift traversal using wires and rails, as seen in the gameplay footage. Players will confront waves of augmented soldiers and terrifying creatures in their quest to break an ancient curse plaguing the megacity.
Complementing the announcement of the new game was the reveal of a major remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2, already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and included in Game Pass). Team Ninja's UE5 port boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments, incorporating elements from later series entries and adding three new playable characters.
Koei Tecmo's efforts on both the new game and the remaster are undeniably impressive and deserve the community's enthusiastic response.
