From the acclaimed creators of Blasphemous comes NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, a masterful fusion of the 8-bit classics and the intensity of the modern 3D era. Classic lore, modern precision. This is NINJA GAIDEN reimagined.
The story kicks off as Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honour his father's will. In his absence, the seal between worlds shatters, unleashing a demonic army on Hayabusa Village.
With Ryu away, young ninja Kenji Mozu, his protégé, must rise. Outmatched and desperate, Kenji dares to do the unthinkable: forge an alliance with the notorious Black Spider Clan. Together, they’ll defy ancient rivalries to stop the Demon Lord's advance.
Ragebound delivers the pick-up-and-play feel of the originals, now with deep, strategic combat and a twist: dual protagonists. Command both Kenji and the lethal assassin Kumori as you unravel their intertwined fates.
Unleash devastating Ninja Fusion attacks, master intricate mechanics, and test your skills in a world that honours NINJA GAIDEN’s roots while raising the bar for modern pixel art. Every enemy, every frame, is crafted with brutal beauty.
