Kumori steals the scene in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound with brutal and fast-paced gameplay

If you thought you already knew all the potential of Ninja Gaiden, get ready: Kumori has just been officially introduced in a new trailer for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and promises to take the adrenaline level of this highly anticipated 2D adventure even higher. Dotemu and The Game Kitchen showed a explosive glimpse of the Black Spider Clan assassin this week, reinforcing that the Brazilian winter of 2025 will be lively on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

In the trailer released, Kumori displays a combat style that breaks completely with classic ninja traditions. Armed with modern equipment and devastating demonic abilities, her battles are a deadly, fast, and brutal dance. Her personal narrative, directly linked to internal conflicts and the eternal struggle against evil, reinforces the antagonistic role of the character - someone who certainly does not hesitate to achieve her dark goals.

"Kumori represents the chaotic and ruthless side of the Ninja Gaiden universe, bringing new layers of complexity and challenge for players," the developers emphasized in the official announcement.

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is not just about frantic combat. The story takes place shortly after the classic events of the original Ninja Gaiden for NES, and puts Kenji Mozu as the new protagonist. The portal between the human and demonic worlds has been opened, and Kenji needs to join forces - literally - with Kumori through the technique called "Ninja Fusion" to face the threat.

The news doesn't stop there:

• Epic battles against gigantic bosses
• Progressive skill evolution system
• Hidden collectible items scattered throughout the scenarios
• Optional missions and challenges that enhance replayability
• Detailed pixel art, honoring the classic style, but with refined animations
• Original soundtrack, created by guest composers, reinforcing the intense and dark atmosphere of the game
   

Expectations are high, especially after Dotemu's successful history with modernized retro titles, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and the revival of Streets of Rage 4.

The release of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is scheduled for the Brazilian winter of 2025 and it is already possible to add it to the wish list in the main digital stores. If you enjoy challenging platform games, intense combat, and characters with dubious morality, here's a tip: Kumori promises to be the perfect choice for those who want to feel the adrenaline rush.

So, have you decided whether you will embark on this journey of chaos alongside Kumori? Because the fury of the ninjas is about to be unleashed!
