Yasuda went on to mention that while Team Ninja has shifted to creating more “historical RPGs,” (the Nioh series and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty) that Ninja Gaiden 4 will allow the team to focus on “pure action.”
When asked why Team Ninja decided to collaborate with Platinum Games for Ninja Gaiden 4, Yasuda said this: In recent years, we have produced some titles that were big challenges for us, namely Nioh 2 And Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
In an interview with Fumihiko Yasuda, President of Team Ninja and Producer of Ninja Gaiden 4, he shared why PlatinumGames was chosen to work on this upcoming entry in what had been an otherwise dormant series.
