The remastered action game reiterates the strengths of top-notch linear game design.
The Microsoft Store version of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black also got updated, fixing minor issues related to using DLSS or XeSS.
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 PC port is also compatible with Super Ultra-wide displays while incorporating upscalers like AMD FSR, Nvidia DLSS, and more.
Team Ninja's masterpiece returns for current-gen platforms, mixing the original and Sigma 2 into a gorgeous new package.
Performance metrics include upscaling, and Frame Generation is available to help further boost the frame rate for PC players.
Here's what you should know about the surprise action remake.
Team Ninja's open-world action RPG will be available for $49.99 on PC, with early purchasers receiving various bonuses.
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."
The Unreal Engine 5 remaster will "satisfy both those who played the original and newcomers discovering it as a current-gen action game."
A collaboration between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames, the sequel will launch for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC along with Game Pass.
"I hope this year brings even greater excitement to the entertainment format that is video games," says studio head Yosuke Hayashi.
The demo offers the first chapter (and major boss fight) for players to try for free, with save data carrying over to the game.
However, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda didn't provide specific sales figures for the open-world action RPG, currently available for PS5.
New missions include "Eternal Night," which Team Ninja touts as the "most difficult mission thus far" for the open-world action RPG.
The update goes live later this week and lets you wield six Combat Styles if both weapons are the same, among other changes.
The recent PS5 exclusive has a "high valuation" from players with a sales start that "goes beyond" that of Nioh 1 and 2.
