Shinobi: Art of Vengeance was one of 2025’s best action games, and it’s getting new DLC next month that will bolster the adventure. The Sega Villains Stage update will pit Joe Musashi against iconic Sega adversaries while adding several more updates.
The Sega Villains Stage DLC centers on the addition of three new bosses: Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog, Death Adder from Golden Axe, and Goro Majima from Like A Dragon/Yakuza. Rendered in Art of Vengeance’s signature art style, you can watch these antagonists in action in the trailer below.
The DLC also features five new stages inspired by Sega franchises, two new Boss Rush modes, three new ninpo, three new outfits, and six new music tracks. Additionally, a free update is releasing alongside the DLC that adds a Hardcore Mode, combat system adjustments, and tweaks to character outlines, map, and tutorial display features.
The Sega Villains DLC will launch on April 3 for all versions of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. It will cost $9.99, but owners of the Digital Deluxe Edition will have access to it instantly.
