Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound releases July 31 for PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch, and PC

Publisher Dotemu and Developer The Game Kitchen announced that Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound will release on July 31, 2025, for Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam. This announcement came during the PlayStation State of Play. 

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound starts immediately after the opening moments of the original NES Ninja Gaiden. The veil between the human and demon realms has broken, leaving the world linked with a gate to darkness. Since Ryu Hayabusa leaves the Hayabusa Village to avenge his father, Kenji Mozu, a fledgling Hayabusa Clan Ninja central to Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, must rise to slay the forces of evil. 

Here is an overview of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound via Dotemu:

Kenji’s destiny is intertwined with Kumori, a fearsome new kunoichi hailing from the antagonistic Black Spider Clan central to the NINJA GAIDEN series. Kenji and Kumori must overcome the generational grudges between their clans and use forbidden techniques to merge their powers and survive the battles ahead, binding their fates together to share a test of soul and skill while maximizing their talents.

Kenji and Kumori’s high-stakes quest develops with show-stopping fights against powerful, boss-caliber behemoths. With upgradable abilities, hidden collectibles, unlockable secret missions, optional challenges and more, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is an engrossing modernization of the tense, satisfyingly swift battles and precise, skill-demanding platforming the series is known for.

The developer on this title, The Game Kitchen, is well known for its work on the Blasphemous series. We reviewed Blasphemous 2 when it released in 2023, and it impressed us, giving it an 8.8 out of 10.
