Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn gets a demo, new media and game details

We have some fond memories of Natsume’s impressive 8-bit side-scrolling NES adventure Shadow of the Ninja, so it’s about time that we got a bit of a remake of the classic title.  ININ Games and Tengo Project, in collaboration with Natsume, has revealed new details and media for Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn, which will be headed to console platforms and the PC at the end of this month.

Those who are excited for the release or really impatient can grab the demo today (on Xbox and Switch) or soon (PS5/PS4 later this month), depending on the platform.  Otherwise the game will release in just a few weeks on on August 29th, 2024 for $19.99/€19.99.
