Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, the all-new 2D action revival from Lizardcube (Streets of Rage 4), hits PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on August 29. Sega is publishing the game directly, signaling a full-force return to one of its most iconic IPs.
This week, Sega dropped the first stage introduction video, giving fans a clear look at the game’s layered level design, dynamic encounters, and refined combat flow. Each stage is crafted to push your reflexes, timing, and mastery of ninja movement — and the hand-drawn visuals are absolutely lethal in motion.
Forget a simple nostalgia trip — this is a full-on evolution of the classic Shinobi formula. It’s fast, tactical, and unforgiving. And it looks stunning.
