Calling all ninjas! We’re excited to announce that NINJA GAIDEN 4 – The Two Masters DLC will be available at midnight UTC on March 4. This new expansion adds brand-new story chapters to the NINJA GAIDEN 4 saga, along with fresh challenges for the most skilled warriors among you; including Abyssal Road, a brutal new survival mode designed to push your mastery to the limit.

- PlatinumGames в мире Томонобу Итагаки: Обзор Ninja Gaiden 4 - 23 November 2025
Уже вторая по счёту Ninja Gaiden за этот год пытается отойти от формулы покойного Томонобу Итагаки , делая ставку не на ветеранов серии, а на молодую аудиторию. Олицетворением этого стал новый герой Ninja Gaiden 4 от PlatinumGames — Рю Хаябусу заменил ниндзя Якумо из Клана Ворона , который ловко шинкует нечисть мечом, но начисто лишён харизмы легендарного воина.

- Ninja Gaiden 4: Legacy, New Beginnings and Jolly Collaboration - 24 October 2025
Before the release of Ninja Gaiden 4 , I was given the opportunity to sit down with the who’s who of Platinum Games and Team NINJA to talk about the fresh look of the franchise, a new protagonist, the duality of working together, and the importance of honouring legacy in the series. Before the release of Ninja Gaiden 4 , I had the opportunity to sit down with key figures from PlatinumGames and Team Ninja to discuss the franchise’s fresh look, a new protagonist, the duality of collaboration, and the importance of honouring the series’ legacy. Producers and directors on Ninja Gaiden 4 , PlatinumGames’ Yuji Nakao and Team Ninja’s Masakazu Hirayama, spoke with CGMagazine about the delicate balancing act required to deliver a brand-new experience at the heart of Ninja Gaiden 4 gameplay.

- Ninja Gaiden 4 (Xbox Series X) Review - 20 October 2025
No holds barred. This is a phrase used in many wrestling matches, and even more situations in real life when the odds are stacked firmly against you. It can also be used to describe the entire experience that is the Ninja Gaiden franchise. Since 2004, the revamped 3D action series Ninja Gaiden has been delivering high-octane, no-holds-barred action, complete with a storyline steeped in demonic cults and never-ending waves of enemies to mow down. This is all topped off by a Dark Dragon God that just won’t stay defeated, and a main character that exudes God-like confidence, Ryu Hayabusa. It has been nearly 13 years since Ninja Gaiden 3 graced consoles globally, and in the year 2025, Ninja Gaiden 4 is here. What’s different about the newest instalment in the franchise is that it’s co-developed by Platinum Games and Team NINJA. Their collaborative effort has accomplished with the fourth ins…
- Ninja Gaiden 4 Hands-On Preview – It’s About Damn Time - 7 August 2025
What happens when you put some of the best minds in action games, two of the most prolific companies in the genre, and one of the best IPs in action games into a blender? To be honest, I don’t know — but it would probably look just like Ninja Gaiden 4 . Since 2004, I’ve been glued to the exploits of pseudo-demon hunter Ryu Hayabusa and his non-stop labour of trying to water the earth in demonic blood. Back in 2004, I was always turning in homework late for school, and the video game landscape looked entirely different. Souls-likes weren’t a thing ( Demon’s Souls hadn’t even come out yet), so Ninja Gaiden reigned supreme as the resident controller breaker. Fast forward 21 years, and not only am I old enough to not have homework, I’m old enough to play Ninja Gaiden without hiding it from my grandma. Difficult games have also become somewhat couture, with Souls-likes filling marketplaces e…
- Ninja Gaiden 4 Headlines Xbox Developer Direct, Confirmed as First-Party Title - 24 January 2025
Ninja Gaiden 4 kicked off Xbox’s January Developer Direct with a surprise bang, and apparently the series’ revival isn’t just getting marketed by Xbox, but it’s actually being published by the company as well. After the reveal, a user on X asked Greenberg if Ninja Gaiden 4 was a first-party title, to which Greenberg said “Yes it is a first party XGS published title for us, and we have loved working with those teams on this game/announce.” Greenberg then pointed to the Xbox Wire announcement , which dives into the creation of the game a bit more with head of Team Ninja Fumihiko Yasuda. “PlatinumGames had the expertise we felt was ideal for working on NINJA GAIDEN, and with support from Microsoft’s Phil-san , the three companies were able to take the next step towards creating a brand-new NINJA GAIDEN,” says Yasuda. Xbox publishing Ninja Gaiden 4 is obviously a pretty big addition to... R…
