Expert Verified By

Will Be Available Day One On Game Pass!

Story Highlight
  • A new Ninja Gaiden entry has been announced at the Xbox Developer Direct.
  • Team Ninja is collaborating with Platinum Games for this title.
  • The game is dubbed Ninja Gaiden 4 and launches later this Fall.

Following rumors of an unexpected announcement at the Xbox Developer Direct, the show has kicked off with a huge new title. Team Ninja opened the show, confirming the return of one of its most beloved and iconic IPs.

Nobody saw it coming, but Ninja Gaiden is returning with a brand-new title in Fall 2025.

Why it matters: Character action game fans have been starved for new content, so it seems Team Ninja has brought back this franchise at the perfect time.

According to Team Ninja, the upcoming entry is a direct sequel to the Ninja Gaiden trilogy that began with the original Xbox. The new entry is dubbed Ninja Gaiden 4 and sees the return of the iconic protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa.

Interestingly, Team Ninja is not the sole developer of the project. The studio is combining its expertise with Platinum Games‘ action game experience to deliver a worthy sequel that lives up to nearly two decades of excitement.

For context, this studio has delivered classics like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Bayonetta, creating excitement among action game fans. As one would expect, the first trailer already shows plenty of fast-paced combat.

Classic manoeuvres like wall running are also highlighted, showcasing an authentic Ninja Gaiden experience for longtime fans.

Ninja Gaiden 4
The Upcoming Entry Is A Direct Sequel

It should be noted that Ninja Gaiden 4 is being published by Xbox and will be released on day one on Game Pass. This is quite a fitting partnership since Ninja Gaiden Black, the title many consider to be one of action gaming’s best offerings, was associated with the Xbox brand many years ago.
