Ninja Gaiden 4 is about to be released. It has been a long thirteen years since the release of the previous mainline title, Ninja Gaiden 3, in 2012. The latest entry to the historic series is officially coming on October 21 for a good chunk of the world – those of you in the Americas are actually getting it on the 20th due to time zone differences. We’ll explain all below.

The game is co-developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames – the former studio was founded by Tomonobu Itagaki, who spearheaded the 2004 remake that successfully brought the series to the 3D era. Ninja Gaiden 4 comes during a busy month for game releases, the most notable being Battlefield 6 earlier this month.

When does Ninja Gaiden 4 release on PC?

You’ll be able to find Ninja Gaiden 4 on PC via popular platforms such as Steam. It’s also releasing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at the same time. Xbox released a global map for release times a week ahead of launch, so here’s exactly when you’ll be able to jump into Ninja Gaiden 4 later today or early tomorrow.

The release of the game comes shortly after the sad news of the death of Tomonobu Itagaki, the founder of Team Ninja. He did not have any direct involvement in the most recent entry to the franchise.
