Firms Koei Tecmo & Team Ninja are passionate about the Ninja Gaiden franchise. And while the game is not currently in motion, both parties are behind more for the series. In 2021, we saw the release of Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection for modern systems. The following year, it was confirmed that a proper reboot for the series alongside Dead or Alive is also underway too.

At The Game Awards, Koei Tecmo & The Game Kitchen revealed Ninja Gaiden Ragebound – a return to for for the series. The Game Kitchen is most notable for its latest title, Blasphemous II. “The Game Kitchen has created a captivating and hauntingly beautiful experience that stands as a testament to the artistry and creativity of indie game development,” our review for the game reads.

You can watch the announcement trailer for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound in the video below:

“Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father’s will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu’s absence. To stand against this new threat, Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa Village, rises to the challenge!

“Combining old-school feeling with modern precision, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound retains the pick-up-and-play action of the classic titles, while introducing new layers of depth. NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound features impeccable mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to truly master, inviting players to challenge the limit of their player skills to satisfy the fans of the NINJA GAIDEN series!” the Steam page synopsis reads.

“Step into a reimagined version of the classic NINJA GAIDEN universe, brought to life through stunning, meticulously crafted visuals. Every enemy is recreated with a level of detail that was once impossible. The brutal, nostalgia-filled aesthetic of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound pays homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of modern pixel art, making every battle a feast for the eyes.”
