JAKARTA - After a 13-year hiatus, Team Ninja and PlatinumGames announced that the next title of the Ninja Gaiden franchise, the Ninja Gaiden 4, will be released in the fall of 2025.

Starting from the 1988 NIJA GAIDEN (Ninja Ryukenden) archive game, this series has managed to attract fans in various forms over the years, from 2D to 3D.

In particular, the Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden, which was released on the Xbox console in 2004, stands out due to its subtle control and elegant action.

In a surprise announcement during Developer_Direct, the head of Team Ninja, Fumihiko Yasuda said that Ninja Gaiden 4 is a new entry that fans have long requested.

"President of Koei Tecmo, Hisashi Coinuma, and CEO of PlatinumGames, Atsushi Inaba have a close relationship, prompting us to explore collaborative development efforts," Yasuda said.

He also believes that Platinum Gapes has the ideal expertise to work on the next Ninja Gaiden entry, and with the support of Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming CEO.

Ninja Gaiden is positioned as a live sequel to Ninja Gaiden 3. While defending the dark and gloomy world that characterizes this series, players will play a new protagonist, Yakumo.

In this troubling condition, Yakumo had to deal with his enemies, as well as his own formidable Ninja Master Ryu Hayabusa.

You can also look forward to the return of Obliteration and Ultimate Techniques. Look forward to the full details on the way to launch later this year.
