Team Ninja Has Been on Fire Lately!

Story Highlight
  • Ninja Gaiden 4 has returned with a major gameplay trailer for the first time since January.
  • The title officially arrives on October 21, 2025, on all consoles and Game Pass.
  • Team Ninja continues the trend of launching new games every year.

The Ninja Gaiden franchise returned in all its glory earlier this year. Following the release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4, excitement for one of action gaming’s finest IPs has been higher than ever.

Ninja Gaiden 4 was announced with a 2025 release earlier this year and a short gameplay trailer that showcased PlatinumGames’ take on the IP. Today, Xbox has finally debuted a brand new trailer of the game, announcing the final launch date of the title.

Why it matters: Ninja Gaiden’s return serves as a breath of fresh air. The game stands out amid the plethora of currently available Souls-like titles on the market, which offer a very different flavour of action gameplay.

The latest Ninja Gaiden 4 gameplay shows more footage featuring Yakumo and Ryu Hayabusa. Both protagonists bring a unique flair to the series while adhering to the signature combat style of the franchise.

Xbox has announced an October 21 release date for the title, leaving just a few months before Ninja Gaiden returns like never before. As a reminder, the title also launches day one on Game Pass on the same date.

Additionally, the new footage highlights a few new characters and boss battles. As expected, fan reaction to this gameplay has been largely positive, with many expressing faith in PlatinumGames’ take on the IP.
