Team Ninja to announce ‘several new titles’ this year, and Nioh is apparently done

If it ends, it ends

I could talk for hours about Team Ninja.

The studio that built his house on Dead or alive but really made its name with the 2004 Ninja gaiden is one of the most fascinating action developers. Ninja gaiden (Black) is still an absolute classic, and its legacy took them through more difficult times. They even managed to land a contract to develop Metroid: Other M, and helped Omega Force with Hyrule Warriors! They have accomplished a lot over the past two decades and the changes they have gone through.

But whatever their past accomplishments, I see 2017 as a turning point for Team Ninja. Nioh really got him out of the park and showed us what this team can really do; properly clearing them of Tomonobu Itagaki’s luggage. According to the studio, that Nioh the trip is over, but they are booking us much more soon.

Speaking to Famitsu, Team Ninja producer Fumihiko Yasuda said that the “development of Nioh series will reach a resting point “after” seven long years of development. “Note, they probably count the time between development Nioh at the release of the final DLC for Nioh 2, and / or the next remaster bundle.

I’ll be sad to see him go, but if they want to hang up, they’ve done well for the show. That said, 4Gamer also had the chance to chat with Team Ninja, and there would be some exciting things in store for 2021. Yasuda tells the outlet that they are “preparing to announce several new titles” from the studio this year, and to ‘watch it convey to them. “

So based on Yasuda’s previous comments, none of them likely will be Nioh Related. This uncertain future is exciting! I hope to continue to build on Niohsuccess.
