Hi! This is Hirayama from Team Ninja. I serve as Director on NINJA GAIDEN 4. With the release of NINJA GAIDEN 4 just ahead of us, I’d like to take this opportunity to briefly touch on one of the game’s defining characteristics: its rich combat variety. This new entry retains the series’ intuitive, precise sense of control to enable you to move like a Master Ninja. It was very important to us to provide players with a high degree of freedom and a plethora of options and techniques. Of course, while it’s possible to enjoy the game by sticking to your favorite weapon, NINJA GAIDEN 4 provides a new sense of freedom by allowing you to switch between Yakumo’s Base Form and Bloodraven Form and seamlessly switch between weapons mid-combo. We invite you to come up with your own unique combos as you adapt to enemies and situations! The wait is almost over, and I can’t wait until you get your hands on the game so you can show me your Master Ninja abilities!
