sounds both dead or alive and Ninja Gaiden The series are on track to receive their respective reboots.
We’ve had no new entries in either series for years, but according to a recent report from Ruliweb (thanks VGC), that may change soon.The report shared ninja team Speaking at the G-Star conference in Busan, president Fumihiko Yasuda said he was trying to bring news to fans as soon as possible.
Interestingly, a slideshow at the end of the panel shows a pair of images showing Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, along with the Japanese title “Team Ninja’s Future – A Reboot of the Popular Series.” Obviously, this doesn’t exactly confirm that a brand new game is on the way, but it does strongly suggest that we can expect something in the future.
The last entry to Dead or Alive wasn’t that long ago, most recently in 2019’s Dead or Alive 6, though it had the ridiculous problem of charging a whopping £74 for one of the season passes. To be clear, there are two characters and some costumes included. Yikes doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Ninja Gaiden, on the other hand, hasn’t had a mainline title since 2012’s Ninja Gaiden 3. A remastered collection of the three main titles was released last year, but that’s about all we’ve had from the series in about a decade with the exception of one spinoff game.
Earlier this year, Yasuda spoke with VGC about the Ninja Gaiden series, noting that Team Ninja is not opposed to the idea of outsourcing the development of new games to another studio.
While Team Ninja hasn’t worked on a new Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden game in a few years, that doesn’t mean the studio isn’t busy. Crouching Dragon: “Fallen Dynasty” is not far from now, and “Ronin Rise” was announced as a PS5 console exclusive in September.
