Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection

The Ninja Gaiden series has been relatively dormant for almost a decade. After Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge launched in 2012, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja haven’t done much with the franchise.

Fortunately for fans, the IP is now making a bit of a comeback. Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is set to appear on new platforms, containing three main games: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.

Update (3/31): We have a first look at the special DLC costumes below.


Original (3/29): Koei Tecmo announced today that Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout and Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy have together shipped over one million copies.

In celebration of the milestone, there are plans for both titles to receive a special DLC costume. The first Atelier Ryza will also re-release the Summer Adventure and Divertimento’s Embrace costumes.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout and Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy are both currently available on Switch.

Blue Reflection: Second Light
