Ninja Gaiden 4, the first new main entry in the series developed by Team NINJA in years, has been announced today for PC and consoles.
The fourth main entry in the series, which is being developed in collaboration with PlatinumGames, was revealed during today's Xbox Developer Direct with an action-packed trailer that highlighted how the new game will masterfully combine the challenging gameplay the series is known for with PlatinumGames fast-paced gameplay.

Available starting today on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, this new version of the game features enhanced visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5 and additional content not found in the original, such as multiple playable characters.
