Developer_Direct showcased more than just DOOM: The Dark Ages; the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 4 also made a splash. Set for an autumn 2025 release, the game promises a thrilling return to the action-packed slasher gameplay fans love.

The debut trailer highlighted Ryu Hayabusa's return as the protagonist, navigating a rain-soaked cyberpunk city. Ninja Gaiden 4 introduces innovative mechanics, including swift traversal using wires and rails, as seen in the gameplay footage. Players will battle hordes of enhanced soldiers and terrifying creatures in their quest to break an ancient curse plaguing the megacity.

Beyond the new installment, a significant Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster was also unveiled. Already released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (and available via Game Pass), this UE5 port boasts completely overhauled character models, visual effects, and environments. Furthermore, it incorporates elements from later games in the series, and excitingly, adds three new playable characters.

Koei Tecmo's extensive efforts on both the remaster and the upcoming sequel deserve considerable praise from the gaming community.
