Ninja Gaiden 4 announced, coming later this year

Prior to its premiere, Microsoft’s Developer Direct was stated to have a couple extra surprises in store, outside of its previously-announced deep-dives for the likes of DOOM and South of Midnight. With the showcase concluded, it has now been confirmed that this surprise was in fact a brand new entry in the much-loved Ninja Gaiden series – coming sooner than you’d think.

Making the surprise announcement during the Xbox Developer Direct, Microsoft confirmed that the long-dormant franchise will be returning later this year with the release of Ninja Gaiden 4, saying:

“The definitive ninja action-adventure franchise returns with NINJA GAIDEN 4! Embark on a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane blend of style and no-holds-barred combat.”

Set to be published by Xbox Games Studios themselves (and coming as a day-one Game Pass drop), this latest entry in the classic hack and slash series will be co-developed by spectacle fighter specialists ‘PlatinumGames’ alongside Team Ninja themselves.

Most surprisingly, Ninja Gaiden 4 is slated to release later this year, some time during Fall 2025 – meaning the teams managed to keep this under wraps for quite a while now.

Finally, it’s worth noting that while the game is set to be published by Xbox, and will be coming day-one to Game Pass, Ninja Gaiden 4 will be a multiplatform release.

PlatinumGames’ track record has been somewhat hit or miss in recent years, however, there is no denying that the team know how to make great looking melee action. Hopefully this marks a grand return for this long-dormant franchise.

DOOM: The Dark Ages launches this May

Microsoft’s Developer Direct has now come and gone, with the Xbox console maker showing off a number of its upcoming games as well as a few surprises. One game which was promised to be at the event was DOOM: The Dark Ages. Sure enough, ID Software’s upcoming FPS made an appearance with 10 minutes of new footage – as well as the game’s release date.

Sharing a 10 minute deep-dive into the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages, the team at ID Software highlighted many of the mechanics set to come to the threequel, including a focus on projectile-based combat and a nifty new shield.

Of course, the big news from the deep-dive was DOOM: The Dark Ages’ release date. While it did leak slightly ahead of time, the team officially confirmed that the game will arrive for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on the 15th of May.

It's been quite a few years since ID Software’s DOOM: Eternal, and while the changes made to its gameplay didn’t necessarily resonate with everyone, it’s cool to see the team continue to innovate on what it means to be a modern DOOM game.
