If it’s over, it’s over
I could talk for hours about Team Ninja.
The studio that built your home in Dead or alive but it really made its name with 2004 Ninja Gaiden is one of the most fascinating action developers out there. Ninja Gaiden (Black) it is still an absolute classic, and its legacy has taken them through more difficult times. They even got a contract to develop Metroid: Another M, and helped Omega Force with Hyrule Warriors! They have accomplished a lot over the two decades and have changed there.
But regardless of his previous accomplishments, I see 2017 as a turning point for Team Ninja. Nioh really surprised us and showed us what this team can really do; properly removing them from Tomonobu Itagaki’s luggage. According to the studio, this Nioh the journey is over, but they have much more in store for us soon.
Speaking to Famitsu, Team Ninja producer Fumihiko Yasuda says that “development of the Nioh series will reach a resting point “after” seven long years of development. “As a note, they are probably counting the time between development Nioh for the launch of the final DLC for Nioh 2and / or the next remastering package.
I’ll be sad to see it go, but if they want to hang, they did it right for the series. That said, 4Gamer also had a chance to chat with Team Ninja, and there are supposedly exciting things in store for 2021. Yasuda told the outlet that they are “getting ready to announce several new titles” from the studio this year, and “look forward to it.” for them. “
Therefore, based on Yasuda’s previous comments, none of them are likely to be Nioh related. This uncertain future is exciting! I hope you continue to build Niohsuccess of.
