Kumori will be fully playable in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, it’s been announced. She’ll be present right alongside Kenji Mozu, who was shown as part of the initial reveal a few months ago.
Kumori is a member of the antagonistic Black Spider Clan, which is central to the series. Her fighting style forgoes traditional rules to emerge victorious from battle by any means necessary. Kumori uses modern weaponry and demonic sources of power to reach her goals and brave challenges unique to her story.
Here’s some additional information:
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound begins immediately after the opening moments of the original NES Ninja Gaiden. The veil between the human and demon realms has broken, leaving the world linked with a gate to darkness. After Ryu Hayabusa leaves the Hayabusa Village to avenge his father, Kenji Mozu, a fledgling Hayabusa Clan Ninja and one of the two protagonists of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, rises to confront the forces of evil.
In this dark era, the destinies of Kenji and Kumori intersect as they overcome the generational grudges of their clans. In the face of peril, their only way to survive is to use the forbidden power that merges Kumori’s spirit with Kenji’s. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound’s demon-slaying tale unfolds through the journey of two young Ninjas bound together by their shared fate of soul and skill. Their journey, filled with thrilling levels teeming with monsters, will require them to skillfully wield their fusion, “Ninja Fusion,” to maximize the talents of both Ninjas.
Kenji and Kumori’s high-stakes quests develop with show-stopping fights against powerful, boss-caliber behemoths. With upgradable abilities, hidden collectibles, unlockable secret missions, optional challenges and more, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an engrossing modernization of the tense, satisfyingly swift battles and precise, skill-demanding platforming the series is known for.
