Ninja Gaiden 4's producer and director, Yuji Nakao, has confirmed that players will take control of new protagonist Yakumo more than Ryu Hayabusa.
For more than a decade, Ninja Gaiden fans have been absolutely starving outside of the Master Collection re-release of the first three 3D games in the series. That sad fate finally changed last week with the reveal of the long-awaited fourth game in the series, Ninja Gaiden 4, and a remake of Ninja Gaiden 2.
Don't forget about Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, the retro side-scroller that was announced at The Game Awards and kickstarted Ryu's return to gaming.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a surprisingly beautiful remake that rights many of Sigma’s wrongs to become the next best thing to the original release.
The reveal trailer for Ninja Gaiden 4 was very interesting, as it not only showcased a whole new style of gameplay that's more in line with Platinum Games' previous titles, but also revealed a new protagonist, Yakumo. Since the trailer focused so much on the new hero, some fans have been worried that he'll take centre stage over Ryu.
Well, I'd love to say otherwise, but it turns out that...
