Ninja Gaiden 4, the next mainline title in the iconic character action franchise, is just a few days away from its release date. While the series has mostly been helmed by Team Ninja, for Ninja Gaiden 4, publisher Koei Tecmo has enlisted the help of PlatinumGames. That said, Team Ninja is still an active participant in the development and production of the latest Ninja Gaiden game.

Nevertheless, the game is being shaped by PlatinumGames, using their proprietary tech. Much like the past games in the franchise, Ninja Gaiden 4 is going for a gritty and stylized aesthetic. However, at the same time, it’s also using modern lighting techniques to deliver visuals that are on par with most modern action games.

Surprisingly enough, Ninja Gaiden 4 is significantly more demanding than any of the previous PlatinumGames-developed titles. Here’s everything you need to know about Ninja Gaiden 4’s PC port, including the tech powering it, system requirements, and more.
