Ninja Gaiden 4 launches on October 20 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, and Game Pass. The fourth entry in the long-running action game series is developed in collaboration with Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja and Platinum Games, best known for titles like Bayonetta and Nier: Automata. The game will follow long-time Ninja Gaiden protagonist Ryu Hayabusa and a new character, Yakumo–who is a member of the Hayabusa Clan’s rivals, the Raven Clan. The duo will battle against the forces of the Dark Dragon, who has plunged Tokyo into a permanent storm known as the Rain of Rot. If you’re eager to get your hands on Ninja Gaiden 4, a $70 standard edition and a $90 Deluxe Edition are both up for preorder at multiple online retailers. Securing a copy early also gets you a special in-game costume as a preorder bonus.
Ninja Gaiden 4 Preorder Bonus
All Ninja Gaiden 4 preorders include the Dark Dragon Descendant skin for Yakumo as an exclusive extra. The skin will be available at launch. Physical and digital preorders are both eligible for the preorder bonus.
$70 | Releases October 20
The Ninja Giaden 4 standard edition includes the base game on your platform of choice, plus the Dark Dragon Descendant Yakumo skin if you preorder ahead of launch.
Physical preorders are available at Best Buy and Walmart–however, the specific format differs based on the platform you’re buying for. The PS5 version includes a game disc in the box, while the Xbox version is a code in a box. There are also preorders for a “physical” PC version that are just a code voucher for the Windows version. It’s worth noting that Xbox or Windows versions support Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning you’re actually getting both Xbox and Windows versions, plus the ability to play on mobile via cloud streaming.
Digital preorders are also available on all platforms, including a Steam version–but this is different from the Windows Store version, and only includes a key to play on Steam.
