In addition to Ryu Hayabusa, you will be able to play as familiar characters such as Ayane, Momiji and Rachel and for those who need a bit of a helping hand, a new mode dubbed “Hero Play Style” which will be a bit more accessible to newcomers of the title.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is available today on PC, Xbox Series X|S and the PlayStation 5. So why not relive Ryu Hyabusa’s other adventures while you wait for his next one coming in Fall 2025.
