The Game Kitchen and publishers Dotemu and Joystick reserved a special spot for Ninja Gaiden fans during Sony’s recent State of Play showcase, and a new trailer revealed a special date to note. The core Ninja Gaiden series carries a retro-futuristic setting and follows ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, who has to battle through new enemies during his colorful escapade. The fourth, upcoming installment will introduce a new protagonist named Yakumo, with a story taking place some time after Ninja Gaiden 3’s narrative.
Koei Tecmo recently announced a very successful financial year, and the developer created the first entry in the action-platform series back in 1988 for arcades.

Ninja Gaiden 4 has also been announced to launch in late 2025, developed by Nioh studio Team Ninja.
