In early 2026, the excellent SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance will welcome the SEGA Villains Stage DLC, which will add three villains from three SEGA-published franchises. We will, of course, have to defeat them by completing new levels.
We already knew that Sonic’s famous Dr. Eggman would be featured in the additional content. Now it’s Death Adder’s turn, the fearsome giant from the Golden Axe franchise, to be announced for SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance.
The third and final villain in the DLC will be revealed soon.
