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 reveal trailer highlighted Ryu Hayabusa’s return as the protagonist, navigating a cyberpunk city drenched in perpetual toxic rain. New mechanics, including swift traversal using wires and rails, were showcased, adding a fresh dimension to the classic Ninja Gaiden formula. Players will confront waves of genetically-modified soldiers and terrifying creatures in their quest to break an ancient curse plaguing the megacity.
Adding to the excitement, a significant remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2, already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and Game Pass), was also presented. Team Ninja's UE5 port boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments, incorporating elements from later games in the series and even adding three extra playable characters.
Koei Tecmo's extensive efforts on both Ninja Gaiden 4 and the Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster are undoubtedly deserving of the community's enthusiastic response.
