The remake released as part of a concentrated effort from the Japanese publisher to put Ninja Gaiden back in the limelight. Later this year, a full-blown sequel named Ninja Gaiden 4 will also launch on the PS5, with development already 70-80% complete.

Ninja Gaiden 2 has mostly been a big hit for Team Ninja, but it seems that the team's work isn't quite done. It recently confirmed that a big update for the game is planned for mid-February that will add "additional features".

Team Ninja will release a Ninja Gaiden 2 Black update in mid February to make “balance adjustments” and add “additional features.” The update was announced on X/Twitter but little was said about what it includes specifically.

Not the exact remaster some were hoping for, but Ninja Gaiden Black 2 is still an action game with few equals.

Team Ninja has been quick to update Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and has fixed one of the remaster's biggest issues so far.

Ninja Gaiden games are known for their intense difficulty, and the bosses in the series' latest port, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, are no exception.
