About NINJA GAIDEN 4

NINJA GAIDEN 4 poster

NINJA GAIDEN 4 marks the return of the definitive ninja hack-and-slash franchise, delivering a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane blend of style and uncompromising combat. It brings back the intense, high-speed fighting that made the series a premier action franchise, reborn with captivating style for a new generation of players.

The combat fuses Team NINJA's tempered philosophy with the dynamic, stylish action of PlatinumGames, producing visually stunning battles that reward precision and strategy. You can use Bloodbind Ninjutsu to transform your weapons and unleash devastation, alongside legacy techniques like the Izuna Drop and Flying Swallow, and the legendary Ryu Hayabusa returns with a revamped yet familiar set of tools. A customizable experience pushes veterans to their limits while still welcoming newcomers into a heart-pounding adventure full of twists.

The story unfolds beneath an endless rain of miasma hanging over a near-future Tokyo, cast in shadow by the resurrection of an ancient enemy. The fate of the city rests with young ninja prodigy Yakumo, who must fight through cybernetic ninja soldiers and otherworldly creatures while confronting his own reckoning. On PC this action-adventure gives fans of the genre a demanding, spectacle-driven return to one of hack-and-slash's most storied names.
