Ninja Gaiden 4 announced, Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster released

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, showcasing new mechanics like swift traversal using wires and rails. The game's setting is a visually striking cyberpunk city perpetually drenched in toxic rain, where players will battle hordes of augmented soldiers and terrifying creatures in a quest to break an ancient curse plaguing the megacity.

Complementing the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4 was the news of a significant remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2, already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and included with Game Pass). This UE5 remaster boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments, incorporating elements from later games in the series, and adding three extra playable characters.

Koei Tecmo's efforts on both projects are undeniably impressive and warrant the considerable community interest they've generated.
