Team Ninja has said it currently has no plans for a new instalment in the Ninja Gaiden series, amid speculation that it was looking to revive the action series.
Speaking to VGC in a new interview, series director Fumihiko Yasuda reiterated his desire to one day return to Ninja Gaiden, but claimed that no such plans are currently in place.
He said: “[There are] no plans currently, but I’ve always wanted to make a new instalment in the series, so here’s hoping for that!”
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.
