Ninja Gaiden 4 was the first game shown during the Xbox Developer Direct, and the reveal was immediately followed by the Ninja Gaiden 2 Black shadow drop.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is the perfect example of what a retro remake should be THE biggest surprise from the recent Xbox showcase was that Ninja Gaiden is making a comeback after 13 years.
In an era where it feels like most challenging action games are a form of soulslike, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black feels fresh despite its age.
The remake of Ninja Gaiden 2 launched immediately following the show, and players have already had the chance to try it out.
