Ninja Gaiden 4 is nearly upon us, offering the first mainline title in the series since 2012’s Ninja Gaiden 3. Pre-loading is now available on Xbox Series X/S and PC, and the official Xbox Twitter has confirmed that it will officially go live on October 20th at 5 PM PDT/8 PM EDT.
Check out the global map below to see what that translates to in your region. Picking up threads from the first Ninja Gaiden, which centred around the Dark Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 4 sees newcomer Yakumo of the Raven Clan on a quest to destroy it once and for all. Its husk looms over Tokyo, warping it and creating a haven for Fiends, but you’ll also have to deal with the Divine Dragon Order and series mainstay Ryu Hayabusa.
