Team Ninja, PlatinumGames, and Koei Tecmo have unveiled the official PC system requirements for Ninja Gaiden 4, the highly anticipated new entry in the long-running hack-and-slash series. Scheduled to release on October 21, 2025, under Xbox Game Studios, the game introduces a mix of blistering combat, stylish action, and next-generation visuals designed to challenge veterans while offering options for newcomers.
The game centers on a new protagonist, Yakumo, a rising ninja prodigy tasked with saving near-future Tokyo from a deadly curse. Longtime fans will still find familiar ground, as the legendary Ryu Hayabusa returns with his classic arsenal and newly enhanced techniques, including Bloodbind Ninjutsu, which transforms weapons mid-combat. The setting of a cybernetically overrun Tokyo promises high-stakes battles against both human and supernatural enemies, with the developers aiming to merge the intensity of Ninja Gaiden with PlatinumGames’ stylish combat design.
