In a brief Q&A with TheGamer, Team Ninja head Fumihiko Yasuda talked to us in regards to the upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, and if we’ve learn between the strains appropriately, we predict he’s planning for a return to the franchise within the close to future.

Replying to our record of questions in an e mail, we additionally requested Yasuda-san a number of questions in regards to the historical past of the Ninja Gaiden franchise, along with the place it should go sooner or later, and he’s painted an optimistic image for Ryu Hayabusa.

‘If’ is likely to be doing a little heavy lifting there, however ‘when’ sounds very promising. It could be good to take this as affirmation of a brand new sport coming quickly, however that appears unlikely. As for what type this new Ninja Gaiden sport would take, Yasuda-san has grand visions for the longer term:

“Sometime I might prefer to make a Ninja Gaiden sport that retains the idea of a pure motion sport, however on a a lot larger scale and superior ahead to fulfill the expectations of the occasions.”

This strains up with what Yasuda-san told us previously. In our interview prior to the release of Nioh 2 on PC, he talked about: “I wish to attempt to tackle an open-world fashion sport sooner or later.” Couple that snippet with the “larger scale” of his final reply, and we may begin to consider Workforce Ninja’s subsequent massive sport can be an unique Ninja Gaiden title.

That every one sounds encouraging sufficient, however Yasuda-san revealed to us that most of the youthful members of the Workforce Ninja employees didn’t work on earlier Ninja Gaiden video games – as a substitute, they grew up with them.

“The variety of employees at Workforce Ninja who’re of the era that grew up enjoying Ninja Gaiden is slowly rising. So, for our improvement crew we wished this to be a chance for them to get entangled as soon as once more with the Ninja Gaiden franchise.”

Ninja Gaiden: Grasp Assortment doesn’t appear to be only a strategy to resell previous Ninja Gaiden video games, but in addition a fast coaching run for the youngest members of the Workforce Ninja employees to familiarise themselves with the traditional sequence, and hopefully convey their expertise ahead into the subsequent sport. This refresher might not simply be for them, however for the youthful era of gamers too.

“[P]layers are clearly required to enhance their enjoying expertise within the Ninja Gaiden sequence as a way to advance. For a lot of new gamers, this stoic strategy may really feel recent compared and for that motive, I feel Ninja Gaiden can definitely fulfill the expectations of youthful audiences.”

It appears like Ninja Gaiden: Grasp Assortment can be a revisit to the sequence for each the employees and Workforce Ninja, in addition to the remainder of us who haven’t seen Ryu Hayabusa in motion for practically ten years.
