Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is the new title in the old SEGA series that was announced last year among other titles still in development.
Developed by Lizardcube, who already worked at Street of Rage 4, it’s a 2D side scrolling action game, a return to the origin in terms of gameplay.
The longtime series protagonist, Joe Musashi, arrives home from a previous adventure to find his village burned to the ground and his clan turned into stone; driven by vengeance, Joe sets off on an epic quest, battling hordes of enemies and larger-than-life bosses across stunning hand-drawn worlds.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance features not only a vast ninja arsenal including katanas, kunai and ninjutsu arts but also a huge amount of combos and a dozen of unique stages, from military bases to scorching deserts.
After being showed in the latest Sony’s State of Play, the game has been confirmed for all available platforms: Nintendo Swith, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox series and PC with a worldwide release set for 29 August.
But in Japan the game will be also released in package form for both Switch and PlayStation 5.
