New boss Yosuke Hayashi of Team Ninja has revealed the developer has intentions of more in the Ninja Gaiden series, the ”calling is already there”.
So, fans want it and Hayashi-san wants to give it - that’s the bottom line. The new studio head goes against what Tomonobu Itagaki said about no more, but then he’s not the boss.
”Regardless of what Itagaki-san said before, in time, what the consumers, the gamers are looking for is going to be the next chapter - the future of an outstanding series,” Hayashi-san tells Kikizo.
”We feel that we’re in a position of being able to make that call, and to provide pure entertainment that’s going to be enjoyed by action gamers and our fans.”
”That calling is already there - we feel it, and therefore we will continue to work towards a future for the series.” The world just wouldn’t feel right without the overly violent swinging of blades and body dismemberment from Ninja Gaiden. Would a number three make its way into your Christmas stocking?
