Team Ninja will release a Ninja Gaiden 2 Black update in mid February to make “balance adjustments” and add “additional features.” The update was announced on X/Twitter but little was said about what it includes specifically.

Team Ninja has been quick to update Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and has fixed one of the remaster's biggest issues so far.

Not the exact remaster some were hoping for, but Ninja Gaiden Black 2 is still an action game with few equals.

The developers of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black release the first update for the action game, and hint that the title will receive more patches soon.

Chapter 1 of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black will throw players right into a fight in front of ' Muramasa's .' Here, you'll fight against a couple of enemies while you learn the ins and outs of combat, like using light and heavy attacks and dodging.

If you haven't already given this latest version of Ninja Gaiden 2 a go, you can purchase it from the Microsoft Store or download it on Xbox Game Pass. As for the fourth entry, it's targeting a Fall 2025 release and has apparently been in the pipeline for quite some time now.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is available now, offering up a stunning Unreal 5 character action game. Here's how it holds up to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and the original.
