A new trailer for the upcoming 2D action game Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound reveals an additional playable character, Kumori, who will fight alongside newcomer Kenji Mozu.
As a member of the Black Spider Clan, Kumori combines modern weaponry with demonic power to take down threats. She most prominently wields twin daggers to slice apart foes up close, but she can also toss them to hold back distant threats. See Kumori in action in the game’s new trailer below.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound was announced last December during The Game Awards and is being helmed by Blasphemous developer The Game Kitchen and published by Dotemu (TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage 4). Ragebound canonically takes place immediately after the conclusion of the original Ninja Gaiden for NES. Ryu Hayabusa has left his village to avenge his father, leaving a new playable hero and upstart Hayabusa Clan ninja, Kenji Mozu, to protect his home from a demonic threat.
The 2D action features optional side quests, upgradable abilities, and secret collectibles. Naturally, it will also sport the series’ signature (or infamous) precision-based, skill-demanding platforming.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound launches this summer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. It will be the second of three Ninja Gaiden releases in 2025, following Ninja Gaiden II Black in January and before the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4 later this year.
