Ninja Gaiden 4 is just a few days away from its release date. Developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames, Ninja Gaiden 4 aims to deliver a true next-gen character action experience. The game was announced earlier this year, alongside Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. Ninja Gaiden 4 sees the return of the series’ iconic protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, alongside newcomer Yakumo.

The game is currently available for pre-order on all current-gen platforms. And, much like Team Ninja’s past games, Ninja Gaiden is available in two different editions: Standard and Deluxe. Here’s everything you need to know about Ninja Gaiden 4’s digital versions, and whether you should pick up the Deluxe Edition or not.

As a current-gen Triple-A title, Ninja Gaiden 4 is priced at $70. However, that pricing applies only to the Standard Edition. If you plan to grab the Deluxe Edition, it will cost you $90. That said, for the extra $30, you’re getting access to a ton of additional goodies. Most importantly, the Deluxe Edition comes with the future DLC content, i.e., The Two Masters.

In addition to that, the Deluxe Edition also comes with a host of cosmetics for Ryu and Yakumo. Considering the contents on offer, the Deluxe Edition is totally worth buying. Nevertheless, if you don’t want to shell out $90 upfront, you can always purchase the DLC separately, at a later date.
