NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound introduces second protag Kumori in new trailer

Co-publishers Koei Tecmo, The Game Kitchen, and developer Dotemu shared a new trailer for NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound introducing its second protagonist, Kumori.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus the new trailer:

From the acclaimed team behind Blasphemous, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound successfully unites the classic lore and gameplay of the Tecmo-developed (now KOEI TECMO GAMES) NINJA GAIDEN series from the classic era with the depth and intensity of the modern 3D entries. The best of both eras come together to create an epic and thrilling adventure.

Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father’s will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu’s absence.

Old school gameplay with a brand-new polish

Combining old-school feeling with modern precision, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound retains the pick-up-and-play action of the classic titles, while introducing new layers of depth.

A spectacular pixel art showdown

Step into a reimagined version of the classic NINJA GAIDEN universe, brought to life through stunning, meticulously crafted visuals. Every enemy, from the iconic Black Spider Clan to newly designed fiends, is recreated with a level of detail that was once impossible.
