In one of the first surprises of the night, Koei Tecmo announced a brand-new entry in the iconic Ninja Gaiden series—Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.
Being published by Dotemu—Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge—and developed by The Game Kitchen—Blasphemous—NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a 2D sidescrolling action platformer channelling the classic and modern NINJA GAIDEN trilogies.
Taking place after the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound features a new hero: a young ninja of the Hayabusa clan named Kenji Mozu, who throws himself into battle, determined to protect his village and its people from a looming demonic threat in this dark and dangerous era.
Featuring a mastery of the high-speed, challenging combat the series is known for, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound’s sidescrolling action is immediately welcoming to newcomers – while offering a steep, rewarding sense of difficulty and intricate technical depth that will challenge the blade of even a seasoned ninja.
Not only that, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound features exquisite pixel art, evoking the classic title while bringing a lush field and menacing cast of enemies to life through striking, wonderfully intricate detail. The dynamic action, paired with a pitch-perfect soundtrack featuring contributions from special guest composers, promises players an unforgettable experience.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound comes to PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in Summer 2025.
