We’re excited to announce that The Two Masters DLC for Ninja Gaiden 4 will be released to ninjas of all skill levels on March 4, 2026!

This story-driven expansion continues Yakumo and Ryu’s battle against fiends that once again threaten to take over the world. After completing the main story, players will unlock new story chapters that push both characters into battles against even deadlier enemies, challenging bosses, and new trials that will test the skills of even the most seasoned master ninja.

The Two Masters will also introduce two new weapons to expand Yakumo and Ryu’s combat styles. Yakumo will wield a new “Solitaire” scythe to cut down swathes of enemies and manage crowd control, while Ryu’s new “Jakotsumon” serpent gauntlets are perfect for fast, close-quarters combat and provide new ways to close the distance on opponents.

Alongside the new story content and weapons, players can look forward to Abyssal Road, a new endurance-style mode that challenges veterans with successive combat encounters and escalating intensity. This mode features 100 unique combat encounters, featuring enemies from both the base game and DLC, while debuting the new Special Blood Essence and Frenzied enemy mechanics that dynamically change battle conditions.

In addition to the new content, this update will deliver a wide range of quality-of-life improvements, balance adjustments, and bug fixes, including combat responsiveness improvements, new weapon set customization options, and fixes across multiple chapters to ensure a smoother experience throughout the campaign.

Players currently working their way through the game will be able to access Yakumo and Ryu’s new weapons mid-campaign. To access new Trials and unlock the Abyssal Road challenge mode, players must complete The Two Masters story campaign at any difficulty level.

Fire up Ninja Gaiden 4 today, finish the campaign, and prepare yourself for the trials ahead — The Two Masters is coming on March 4, 2026 and only true ninja masters will survive!

The Two Masters is included as a free update for those who purchased the Ninja Gaiden 4: Deluxe Edition ($89.99) or the Deluxe Upgrade ($20). It will also be available as a standalone offer for $14.99 USD on March 4, 2026.
