Ninja Gaiden will have three new releases by the end of 2025, including two 3D entries and a new 2D title. Dotemu and the developers of Blasphemous produced Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a retro-styled side-scrolling platformer that emphasizes tight, challenging action. Players control Kenji Mozu, a young ninja trained by Ryu Hayabusa, whose body becomes inhabited by Kumori and gains throwable kunai and brief playable sections. Levels emphasize jumping, climbing, and confronting strategically placed hordes of enemies that obstruct paths and require clever dodging or elimination. The game modernizes classic Ninja Gaiden mechanics while preserving intense combat and platforming.
The last mainline entry was originally released more than a decade ago, but by the end of 2025, there will be three new Ninja Gaiden titles. Two are 3D: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, a modern-day remaster of Ninja Gaiden II released earlier this year, and Ninja Gaiden 4, co-developed by PlatinumGames and set to release in October.
In Ragebound, you play as Kenji Mozu, a young ninja trained by usual series star Ryu Hayabusa. Early on, Kenji's body becomes inhabited by the spirit of Kumori, a member of the rival Black Spider clan who adds throwable kunai weapons to Kenji's arsenal and is briefly playable in special sections. As you jump and climb through levels, you'll have to take on hordes of enemies that impede your path.
