The return of legacy Sega franchises is here with Shinobi being the first to start the new trend. In 2024, it was announced that a live-action film at Universal Pictures was already greenlit with Sega. Additionally, the Japanese publisher also announced a new 2D platformer – Shinobi: Art of Vengeance which shipped this past fall.
At Rectify Gaming, we scored the game a 9/10. “This is what a franchise revival should look like. Shinobi: Art of Vengeance honors its heritage while confidently establishing its own identity in the modern gaming landscape. It is a masterful blend of style and substance that feels both familiar and new.” Also, Dr Eggman was teased for the upcoming ‘Sega Villains Stage DLC’ coming to the game as well/
Now this week, the DLC is here delivering not only the Sonic the Hedgehog antagonist, but also villains Goro Majima from Yakuza/Like a Dragon as well as Golden Axe’s Death Adder. You can watch the gameplay trailer in the video below:
“Joe Musashi will battle against his greatest threat so far as he clashes with Majima, the mad dog of Shimano from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series; Dr. Eggman, the evil genius from the Sonic the Hedgehog series; and Death Adder, the ruthless giant from Golden Axe,” the description reads. The add-on will also include 5 stages; 3 bosses; 3 Nippon; 3 skins; 6 music tracks; 2 Boss Rush Modes.
What is not emphasized alongside the three new cameo bosses in Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is the new Hardcore mode. “New difficulty mode that challenges even a true ninja master. Includes changes to enemy damage, healing, and placement. Also includes new attack patterns for bosses.”
