Dr. Eggman, Goro Majima, Death Adder Comes To Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Today In New DLC Pack

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.”
