Not only Ninja Dragon 4 and Ninha 3! The Ninja Group plans to launch a masterpiece every year!
In recent years, the Ninja group seems to have gradually formed a release rhythm of one masterpiece a year. After 2024's "Rise of the Ronin" and 2025's "Ninja Dragon Sword 4", 2026's "Ninja 3" has also been officially scheduled. In an interview with Famitsu, the head of the ninja team, Fumihiko Yasuda, said that their ability to maintain such an efficient development pace is due to Glory's recent talent expansion policy.
Fukuhiko Yasuda pointed out that with the support of this policy, the ninja group has successfully attracted a large number of young talents and the scale of employees has continued to expand. He also emphasized in particular that the Ninja group is not just about adding new employees, but about improving the team's strength by cleverly assigning experienced old employees to different projects.
For example, the development team of "Nioh 3" is larger than previous works and has younger members, but most core developers, including the director, are veterans who have participated in the development of the series from the beginning.
He further stated: "Now we have the ability to make more games. In addition to cooperating with Platinum Studio to develop "Ninja Dragon Sword 4", we also plan to release a main work every year. The blockbuster work in 2026 will be "Niwang 3"."
