The time has come: if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the extraordinary Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound in physical format—because we all love the game in its fantastic box—you can now buy it in stores. From Dotemu, The Game Kitchen, and Koei Tecmo Games, you’re about to discover one of the games of the year that will take you back in epic fashion to the triumphant era of the NES console.
The physical version is available for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, and while it’s already on sale in most markets, keep in mind that it will be released next week in Japan. For now, as indicated in the press release, the game is available for purchase in physical format in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and select Middle Eastern regions.
The return of the legendary saga in its most classic 2D form is characterized by a top-quality finish, seamless gameplay, and a repertoire of moves that pay great homage to the franchise. This physical release is being offered in two different editions, as reflected in the information published by the distributor, which we share with you below.

Do you have what it takes to walk the path of the ninja?
From the award-winning creators of Blasphemous, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound delivers a brutal, beautiful fusion of two eras, combining the elegance of 8-bit classics with the speed and intensity of modern action. This is Ninja Gaiden like never before.
Ryu Hayabusa’s mission begins with a journey to America to honour his father’s final wish. But while he’s away, chaos erupts: a shattered seal unleashes a demonic force upon the Hayabusa Village.
In his place, the young ninja Kenji Mozu, Ryu’s protégé, must rise and do the unthinkable and ally with the unlikeliest of partners: the deadly Black Spider Clan. Together with the enigmatic assassin Kumori, Kenji will challenge ancient grudges and face the Demon Lord’s army head-on.
Switch between two protagonists, unleash devastating Ninja Fusion attacks, and master precise, strategic combat. Every frame is pixel-perfect. Every encounter is unforgiving.
