It feels like each the Useless or Alive and the Ninja Gaiden sequence are on observe to obtain respective reboots.
We’ve not had a brand new entry in both sequence for plenty of years, however in response to a current report from Ruliweb (thanks, VGC), that quickly would possibly change. The report shared that Staff Ninja president Fumihiko Yasuda spoke throughout a panel on the G-Star convention in Busan, the place he stated he was working to deliver followers information as quickly as he might.
Curiously, a slide on the finish of the panel confirmed a pair of photos exhibiting Ninja Gaiden and Useless or Alive together with the headline “The way forward for Staff Ninja – Reboot of in style sequence,” in Japanese. Clearly this does not outright affirm model new video games are coming proper across the nook, although it does very strongly recommend that we are able to anticipate one thing sooner or later.
Useless or Alive’s final entry wasn’t that way back, most not too long ago in 2019 with Useless or Alive 6, although that one had the ridiculous downside of charging as much as £74 for only one of its season passes. Which to be clear, contained two characters and a few costumes. Yikes does not even start to explain it.
Ninja Gaiden, however, hasn’t had a mainline entry since Ninja Gaiden 3 in 2012. A remastered assortment of the three foremost titles was launched final yr, however that is about all we have had from the sequence in a couple of decade apart from one spinoff recreation.
Earlier this yr, Yasuda spoke with VGC concerning the Ninja Gaiden sequence, noting that Staff Ninja wasn’t in opposition to the thought of outsourcing growth of a brand new recreation to a different studio.
Whereas Staff Ninja hasn’t labored on a brand new Useless or Alive or Ninja Gaiden recreation in just a few years, it doesn’t suggest the studio hasn’t been busy. Wo Lengthy: Fallen Dynasty is not very far-off now, and Rise of the Ronin was introduced in September as a PS5 console unique.
