Ninja Gaiden 4 (PS5)

The legendary ninja action franchise returns with Ninja Gaiden 4, a brutal, stylish hack‑and‑slash adventure co‑developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames.

Set in a near‑future Tokyo shrouded in miasma, the story introduces Yakumo, a young ninja prodigy whose fate is intertwined with the legendary Ryu Hayabusa. Together, they must confront the resurrection of an ancient enemy and free the city from a devastating curse.

Combat is faster, bloodier, and more tactical than ever. Master new techniques like Bloodbind Ninjutsu, alongside legacy moves such as the Izuna Drop and Flying Swallow. The game introduces a standalone Training Mode (a first for the series), letting players sharpen their skills before diving into its punishing encounters.

With dynamic enemy placement, aggressive AI scaling, and multiple difficulty options — including a new Hero Mode with assists for newcomers — Ninja Gaiden 4 balances its brutal roots with accessibility for fresh players.
