The trailer immediately establishes its new star, Yakumo, who is not just a reskin of Ryu. His fighting style is distinctly brutal and heavy-handed. The trailer also shows a pair of devastating bionic arms for Yakumo. This allows for powerful, crushing blows and unique grab techniques to dismantle foes. He is also shown wielding a massive, saw-edged Fuma Shuriken, a multi-bladed projectile that can be used with his new bionic arms.

The teaser also offers glimpses of new, monstrous bosses, including a demonic entity and biomechanical enemies. This suggests a fusion of the franchise’s supernatural and technological threats.
Lastly, the new trailer reaffirmed that the Ninja Gaiden 4 release date is still set for Tuesday, October 21, 2025. The video also revealed that Xbox players will be able to get it on Day 1 for free if they have an active Game Pass subscription.
