Ninja Gaiden 4 is finally here and has already proven itself as one of the best new games of 2025. Not only has it been receiving stellar reviews, but it's also established itself as one of the best action games of the year. However, October is a busy month with gaming (with releases such as The Outer Worlds 2 and Battlefield 6), so you may be wondering if this game is truly the one for you and your hard-earned cash.
First announced during the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct showcase, Ninja Gaiden 4 introduces us to a new martial arts genius from the Raven clan called Yakumo. While series staple Ryu Hayabusa is still in the story as a playable character, Yakumo is our primary protagonist this time around and brings with him a ton of cool new combat features. Change can be scary, but we're confident that newcomers and Ninja Gaiden veterans alike will have plenty of reasons to grab their wallets for this one.
