Team Ninja's 30th Anniversary: Big Plans on the Horizon
Team Ninja, the Koei Tecmo subsidiary renowned for franchises like Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, has hinted at significant projects to commemorate its 30th anniversary in 2025. Beyond its flagship titles, the studio has also achieved success with soulslike RPGs such as the Nioh series and collaborations with Square Enix (Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty). The recent release of Rise of the Ronin further showcases their diverse portfolio.
According to Fumihiko Yasuda of Team Ninja (via 4Gamer.net and Gematsu), the studio aims to launch titles befitting this milestone anniversary. While specifics remain undisclosed, speculation centers on potential new entries in the Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden series. Yasuda simply stated, "In 2025, Team Ninja will celebrate its 30th anniversary, and we hope to announce and release titles fitting for the occasion."
Potential 2025 Releases:
The anticipation is further fueled by the recent announcement of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound at The Game Awards 2024. This new side-scrolling title promises a nostalgic blend of classic 8-bit gameplay and modern enhancements, bridging the gap between the series' past and present. This follows the divisive 2014 release of Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.
The Dead or Alive franchise, last updated with Dead or Alive 6 in 2019, is another strong contender for a major anniversary release. While recent years have seen spin-offs, fans eagerly await a new mainline entry. Similarly, the popular Nioh series is another potential candidate for a new installment or expansion. The upcoming year promises exciting developments for Team Ninja and its loyal fanbase.
