Team Ninja's 30th Anniversary: Big Plans on the Horizon

Team Ninja, the Koei Tecmo subsidiary renowned for its action-packed franchises like Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, has hinted at significant projects to commemorate its 30th anniversary in 2025. Beyond these iconic series, the studio has also achieved considerable success with soulslike RPGs, including the Nioh series and collaborations with Square Enix such as Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The recent release of Rise of the Ronin further showcases their expanding portfolio.

In a recent interview (via 4Gamer.net and Gematsu), Fumihiko Yasuda of Team Ninja alluded to upcoming releases "fitting for the occasion." While specifics remain undisclosed, speculation centers on potential new entries in the Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden series. Yasuda's statement, "In 2025, Team Ninja will celebrate its 30th anniversary, and we hope to announce and release titles fitting for the occasion," fuels anticipation among fans.

Team Ninja's 2025 Possibilities:

The anticipation is already partially fulfilled with the announcement of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound at The Game Awards 2024. This side-scrolling title promises a blend of classic 8-bit gameplay and modern enhancements, bridging the gap between the series' origins and its 3D iterations. The last mainline Ninja Gaiden title, 2014's Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, remains a point of contention among fans.

The Dead or Alive franchise, last updated with Dead or Alive 6 in 2019, has seen only spin-offs since then. Fans eagerly await a new mainline entry, hoping it will be part of Team Ninja's 30th-anniversary celebration. Similarly, the possibility of a new Nioh installment is also a significant source of fan speculation. The upcoming year promises exciting developments for Team Ninja and its loyal fanbase.
