Today, during the Xbox Developer Direct, Koei Tecmo announced Ninja Gaiden 4, a new 3D action game that continues the story of Ryu Hayabusa. The game will be made in collaboration between Koei Tecmo’s internal Team Ninja team and Platinum Games.
The story follows Ryu and newcomer Yakumo–a ninja from the Raven clan, the rival clan to Hayabusa–as he battles against the Dark Dragon. Tokyo has fallen under a permanent storm called the Rain Of Darkrot, and the two must defeat the dragon once and for all in order to dispel the storm and save the city.
Yakumo will use two different fighting forms–Raven Style and Nue Style–against the Divine Dragon Order, who act as law enforcement in this alternate version of Tokyo, as well as a horde of demons defending the Dark Dragon. Both Ryu and Yakumo will employ slightly different styles, but both will have access to classic moves like the Izuna Drop and the Flying Swallow.
This new Ninja Gaiden adventure is one of three new Ninja Gaiden games announced for 2025. The Xbox Developer Direct also announced Ninja Gaiden II Black–a remake of Ninja Gaiden 2 from the original Xbox–while Dotemu and The Game Kitchen unveiled the metroidvania style Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound last month.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is set to launch in Fall 2025 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
