SEGA and Lizardcube reveal stunning Neo City gameplay footage for their upcoming action platformer, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, launching August 29 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Switch.
The iconic SHINOBI returns August 29, 2025 in an all-new 2D action platformer with a unique hand-drawn look created by the team behind the hit brawler Streets of Rage 4.
Play as the legendary Shinobi Joe Musashi, master of the ninja arts. After finding your village burned to the ground and your clan turned into stone, you must set off on a quest for vengeance, ready to face an unparalleled evil and avenge your clan.
Looks cool but even before it said "from the makers of Street Fighter 4" I already had a feeling. The artstyle isn't bad but I wish they had gone something that separated itself from SF4 more. I feel Shinobi deserves something a little bit more realistic.
I tend to agree it still looks awesome I'll buy it hands down but it does look a lot like streets of rage 4 and I think it needs its own identity like the original game had more detailed sprites vs streets of rage on the mega drive. Or at least that's how I viewed it
Looks aight. But after the god tier sprite wrok that was Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn, this type of look Shinobi is sporting is not doing much for me. But we'll see. Maybe they'll add more flair.
Day fooking 1. I love this series to death and this one crosses much more into the Ninja the Gaiden type realm.
Since the 80s always fan of the arcade and later on the Genesis with Revenge of Shinobi masterpiece. Hope that this team delivers a great game.
Pretty excited for this the art style I wish was slightly more distinct that Streets of rage but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love some Shinobi.
Really feeling It's the year of retro revivals for me
