Developer_Direct showcased more than just DOOM: The Dark Ages; the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4 was also unveiled. Set for an autumn 2025 release, the game promises a thrilling return to the action-packed slasher gameplay fans love.

The debut trailer highlighted Ryu Hayabusa's return as the protagonist, navigating a visually stunning cyberpunk city perpetually drenched in toxic rain. Ninja Gaiden 4 introduces innovative mechanics, such as swift traversal using wires and rails, as seen in the gameplay footage. Players will battle hordes of augmented soldiers and terrifying creatures in a quest to break an ancient curse plaguing the megacity.

Already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and included in Game Pass), this updated version boasts a UE5 engine port, featuring completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments. Further enhancing the experience, the remaster incorporates elements from later series entries, including three additional playable characters.

Koei Tecmo's extensive efforts on both the new game and the remaster are undeniably impressive and warrant the enthusiastic response from the gaming community.
