Sega has revealed that its action platformer Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will receive a new DLC pack featuring iconic SEGA villains on April 3 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
It’s a fun crossover for the game, as the DLC introduces three major SEGA villains as boss encounters: Yakuza’s Goro Majima, Golden Axe’s Death Adder, and Sonic’s Dr. Eggman.
What’s Included in the SEGA Villains DLC?
The DLC package contains:
-
5 crossover stages
-
3 SEGA bossses (Goro Majima, Dr. Eggman, Death Adder)
-
2 Boss Rush modes that also features the new DLC bosses
-
3 additional Ninpo
-
3 new outfits
-
6 new music tracks
This DLC is included in the Digital Deluxe Edition of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, meaning owners of that version will automatically gain access when it launches this April.
The DLC becomes accessible in the main game after completing the fourth zone.
Free Update Also Launching Alongside Paid DLC
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is also receiving a substantial free update on April 4, launching alongside the paid DLC.
The update introduces a new Hardcore mode aimed at veteran players. This mode changes enemy placements and features stronger boss attacks, offering a more demanding experience. Players will also be able to adjust recovery frames based on their preferences, giving more control over gameplay feel.
SEGA has confirmed additional quality-of-life improvements, though specific details have yet to be revealed. Expect more information closer to the update’s release.
We gave Shinobi: Art of Veangeance a 4/5. Miguel Mendoza noted in his review that the game delivers a “mixture of multiple mechanics and ideas from both modern and classic game design philosophies. From the familiar arcadey side-scrolling adventure to the tight and stylish action combat, plus the sometimes crazy difficult platforming sections in the special Rift stages, it’s a familiar yet refreshing experience all around.”
