Team NINJA’s Iconic Hero Ryu Hayabusa Returns in the Stunning Action Game, NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black, Now Available!
Legendary Game has Been Graphically Remastered and Revived Across Multiple Platforms

Gore elements such as dismemberment and blood have also been remastered to enhance the action experience. The high-speed, violent fights play out in brilliant brutality, utilizing a variety of weapons and techniques including Japanese swords, shurikens, Kusari-gamas, and tonfas. Meanwhile, those looking for a more toned-down experience can simply toggle the dismemberment feature on and off in the Options menu.
In addition, NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black includes extra elements from the spin-off titles released after the original game’s debut, including the ability to control three additional characters: Momiji, Ayane, and Rachel. The remaster also includes “HERO PLAY STYLE”, a mode for beginners that provides automatic support in the most difficult situations, making the notoriously challenging title more accessible for those who may not be so confident in their action skills.
But that’s not all, as Team NINJA, in collaboration with PlatinumGames and Xbox Game Studios Publishing also revealed the long-awaited return to the mainline franchise, with the announcement that NINJA GAIDEN 4 is currently in development and is scheduled to launch later this year. The fourth installment of the definitive ninja action-adventure series introduces an all-new protagonist in Yakumo, a young ninja prodigy whose fate is intertwined with the legendary Ryu Hayabusa himself. Prepare for a legacy reborn with exhilarating style and thrilling action for a new generation of players!
