As the release date for Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn draws ever closer (29th August), ININ has announced that pre-orders are now available Xbox and Nintendo Switch. There’s also a new playable demo out now for the Xbox and Switch and coming soon to the Playstation. A new trailer can be seen below…
Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn takes players to a dystopian future ruled over by the ruthless Emperor Garuda. Determined to make the world a better place, two assassins are despatched to take out the Emperor and his guards. Taking the role of Hayate and Kaede, players will need to fight through 5 enemy-filled stages to end the Emperor’s reign and avenge those who have suffered at the hands of his brutality.
This remake of the 1990’s side-scrolling action game will come with a wealth of awesome features, including:
- A variety of deadly weapons that expands on those used in the NES version such as caltrops, shurikens and more.
- Five completely recreated stages with challenging platform puzzles and deceptively devious traps, and a 6th brand new stage.
- Invite a friend round and enjoy some good old-fashioned couch co-op.
- A fresh new look with modern in-game sprite art as a faithful update to the 8-bit original.
- Enjoy the key visuals and characters illustrated by Dynamic Productions, the same illustrators who gave us the art of the classic 90’s title.
- A belting soundtrack created by the legendary Hiroyuki Iwatsuki and Iku Mizutani.
Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn arrives on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and Steam on 29th August. A Digital Deluxe Edition will also be released for the PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, and will include the digital soundtrack.
