Speaking to VGC, Team Ninja's creative director Tom Lee said that, despite showing both franchises at a conference under the heading "Reboot of popular series", the studio has nothing to announce regarding new entries.

 

"Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden are both long-standing pillar franchises for Team Ninja. These celebrated titles are synonymous with our studio history and reputation," said Lee.

 

 

"It goes without saying that, when speaking about the development of our past and future projects, both of these important titles cannot be left without mention. However, there are no details or information to share on either of these franchises at this present time.

 

"Like many of our dedicated fans, we share the enthusiasm for the return of these beloved titles. And we will be sure to provide a proper update, if and when that day arrives."

 

 

Original story

That’s according to a translation of a talk the developer’s president held in South Korea this week.

 

According to Ruliweb, Fumihiko Yasuda said during a panel at the G-Star conference in Busan that he was working to bring fans more news as soon as possible.

 

A slide reportedly shown at the end of his panel – pictured below – shows images of both classic Team Ninja series along with the headline, “The future of Team Ninja – Reboot of popular series” in Japanese.

 

Yasuda has publicly stated his desire to revive the Ninja Gaiden series multiple times.

 

The Tecmo action adventure series hasn’t seen a mainline instalment since 2012’s Ninja Gaiden 3. Yasuda, who is the director of Nioh and its sequel, was a level designer for Ninja Gaiden 2 and directed the series’ third instalment – its first since the departure of lead creator Tomonobu Itagaki.

 

In an interview with VGC that took place in January 2021, Yasuda told us that he had no plans for a new instalment in the Ninja Gaiden series, but stated his desire to one day return to the series.

 

Then earlier this year, he said that “all the pieces would need to fit” for a theoretical future Ninja Gaiden game to be developed, and expressed willingness to potentially outsource a new game to an external company or a younger internal team.

 

Team Ninja's are currently developing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty & Rise of the Rōnin, so I think they probably have outsourced the Ninja Gaiden title. I can't see them developing all three games simultaneously, while also still updating Stranger of Paradise.
