According to the cancelled game's director, Japanese publishers tend to give developers more leeway in designing new concepts.
For those who want to experience all the story's levels as either Yakumo or Ryu, the Chapter Challenge mode is available.
Yakumo tears through the Divine Dragon Order's HQ, unleashing powerful techniques including the Izuna Drop and Guillotine Throw.
While the upcoming hack-and-slash title's CPU, GPU and RAM requirements appear fairly undemanding, upscaling is mandatory.
Yakumo adds a pair of giant shurikens and some powerful claws to his arsenal of weapons en route to defeating the Dark Dragon.
Team Ninja and PlatinumGames will provide a "new look" at the hack-and-slash action-adventure before its launch this October.
Team Ninja director Masazaku Hirayama wants players worried that the upcoming sequel may be "too challenging" to "rest assured."
Alongside optional Purgatory missions, you can replay boss fights and even unlock Master Ninja difficulty after finishing the story.
It features a wide variety of gameplay, from traversal to stealth attacks, and plenty of Ninja Gaiden-style brutal, bloody combat.
However, Team Ninja director Masazaku Hirayama revealed there are plans for other gameplay content beyond "additional weapons."
Xbox Series X/S games typically only come with a download code for a game rather than a disc with all the game data included.
Yuji Nakao grew up during what is considered to be one of the golden eras of 3D action games with titles like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden.
The long and bloody quest to defeat the Dark Dragon kicks off just in time for Halloween for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Dubbed Eel Game Studio, the new studio doesn't yet have any projects announced. Taura has said that more will be revealed later.
Despite the action RPG's alleged rocky development and cancellation, the Clovers founder is still enthusiastic about the project.
Ninja Gaiden is finally getting a sequel with Team Ninja working alongside PlatinumGames. Here are all the new details you should know.
The collaboration made sense since both studios have a history of fast-paced action titles, per producer Fumihiko Yasuda.
The Microsoft Gaming CEO feels "great about our relationships with the publishers in Japan," though they've taken time to foster.
Bloodraven Form is exclusive to Yakumo and enables "Bloodbath Kills" for instantly slicing enemies into two when conditions are met.
Team Ninja head Fumihiko Yasuda also said the developer is "looking into ways to give you opportunities to get hands-on experience."
