Ninja Gaiden rests on a cult legacy that spans three decades and countless severed limbs. Its reputation precedes it, especially on a landmark anniversary marketed as the "Year of the Ninja." After the critical success of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and the sudden passing of series revivalist Tomonobu Itagaki, Ninja Gaiden 4 had a high bar to clear. Instead of languishing in the comfort of nostalgia, Ninja Theory pivots away from its own history to look towards a future with Platinum Games and a new protagonist in tow. Where one might expect Ryu Hayabusa in all his shredded glory, we have Yakumo, a Raven Clan rival member who's as new blood as it gets. He's young, spry, and trades in Ryu's Ninpo techniques for a transformative weapon empowerment system. The principles of Ninja Gaiden remain the same, but the Platinum sheen is new.
