In related news, Ninja Gaiden 4 received its official content rating of M18 back in June, with detailed insights into the mature themes and elements that players can expect. According to the rating summary, the game features brutal and highly stylized combat sequences that exhibit strong violence and explicit gore. Players will use an array of deadly weapons, such as katanas, warhammers, and claws, to dismember, decapitate, and pulverize enemies. The graphic nature of combat is underscored by abundant blood effects and body parts being scattered across environments. In a distinctive visual touch, bloodstains accumulate on Yakumo’s character model as fights progress, while dramatic slow-motion closeups further emphasize the intensity of certain attacks.
