Developer_Direct showcased more than just DOOM: The Dark Ages; the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4 also made a splash. Scheduled 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 stunning cyberpunk city drenched in perpetual toxic rain. New mechanics, such as swift traversal via wires and rails, were showcased, adding a fresh dimension to the iconic ninja's arsenal. Players will confront waves of genetically modified soldiers and terrifying creatures from another realm, all while striving 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 (including Game Pass), was also unveiled. Team Ninja's UE5 port boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments, incorporating elements from later games in the series and adding three new playable characters.
Koei Tecmo's extensive efforts on both Ninja Gaiden 4 and the Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster deserve significant community recognition.
