Xbox started its Developer Direct stream with a bang Thursday, kicking off the January presentation with a new entry in the Ninja Gaiden series, then following up with the reveal of a remaster of the best game in the long-dormant hack-and-slash series.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is set to release this fall, according to the publisher. The new game will be co-developed by Team Ninja and Bayonetta creators Platinum Games. It will star series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa, as well as new protagonist Yakumo. Yakumo is a member of the Raven clan, a rival faction to Ryu’s Hayabusa clan. Both characters will have unique movesets, according to the developers.
