Ninja Gaiden 4 - The Two Masters

Ninja Gaiden 4 is out in just a few weeks, bringing about 15 to 20 hours of story content alongside challenge missions, Master Ninja difficulty, and more. However, it’s also set to receive post-launch DLC with The Two Masters DLC.

In an interview with the Official Xbox Podcast, PlatinumGames producer/director Yuji Nakao and Team Ninja director Masazaku Hirayama confirmed it would launch in early 2026. It adds new weapons for Ryu and Yakumo, the former receiving dual pincer-like gauntlets and the latter getting a massive scythe.

Each offers “distinct qualities” and a “plethora of mechanics” for players, but that’s not all. The Two Masters also includes new story content set after the base game from both characters’ perspectives. Fans can also look forward to post-game challenges separate from the base game’s.

“So there is a lot of content for players to dig into. And we can’t wait to share more details with players as they become available,” said Hirayama.

The Two Masters DLC is included with the Deluxe Edition, which retails for $89.99. Ninja Gaiden 4 launches on October 21st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s also available on day one for Game Pass.
