Ninja Gaiden 4 is launching on 21st October across Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC on 21st October 2025, PlatinumGames and Team Ninja have revealed. it will also be day one in Xbox Game Pass.
This is the first game in more than a decade, with Team Ninja leaning on Platinum Games’ expertise through the likes of Nier:Automata and Bayonetta to push the series forward.
Ryu will return from previous games, but there’s a new playable character of Yakumo, coming from the rival Raven Clan and looking to follow in Hayabusa’s footsteps to become the Master Ninja. The story will return to a futuristic Tokyo which now exists in the shadow of the Dark Dragon’s husk, with a never-ending corrupting rain coming down from it to suggest that it still lives.
The game will feature plenty of fast-paced action, whether it’s navigating the world through wall-running, rail grinding, grappling and more, and through the blistering melee combat. There’s a both a Raven Style and Nué Style that looks to push the series combat forward with two contrasting sets of abilities.
