Experience a return to the intense, high-octane action that established NINJA GAIDEN as a premier action game series. This long-awaited 4th installment introduces an all-new protagonist in Yakumo, a young ninja prodigy whose fate is intertwined with the legendary Ryu Hayabusa himself. Prepare for a legacy reborn with exhilarating style and thrilling action for a new generation of players. With adjustable difficulty settings and customizable experience, NINJA GAIDEN 4 will push action game veterans to their limits while inviting newcomers to rise to the legendary ranks of “Master Ninja.”

As the sealed old enemy resurrects, Tokyo is shrouded in miasma rain, and the fate of the city is left in the hands of the young genius ninja "Yakumo". He will stand up against the mecha ninja troops and alien monsters.

Players will operate Yakumo to rescue Cyberpunk Tokyo from an ancient curse. In addition to one-on-one duel, there are also one-on-many battle scenes in the game. Platinum Studios director and producer Yuji Nakao revealed in an interview with Xbox Wire that the game is currently 70% to 80% complete, and the team is entering the refinement stage.

Yakumo can use the new ninjutsu "Blood Contract" (けっせつ) to control his own or the enemy's blood, change the shape of the weapon to cause large-scale and extremely high output damage to the enemy, or use the series' classic moves Izuna Drop and Flying Swallow, etc. When you pass a level and enter a special state when the conditions are met, you can also activate "Blood Kill" to cut the enemy in half.

This game will be jointly developed by the Team Ninja and Platinum Studios, and will be released in the fall of 2025. It will be available on PS5, XSX | S, and PC platforms, and will be subscribed to Game Pass upon its release.
