Itagaki Says No More Ninja Gaiden Titles

Itagaki Says No More Ninja Gaiden Titles

None

In an interview with the press, Team Ninja leader and creator of Ninja Gaiden, Tomonobu Itagaki, revealed that he has no plans to develop any more Ninja Gaiden games. This is rather shocking considering the franchise’s success and fan support, but it also is encouraging when taken in the context of Itagaki’s statement:

“Personally I think we were able to create the definitive 3D game in this series so I’m not planing on making any other games in the series. So I hope fans treat this as a swan song for the franchise. I think we were able to achieve everything we wanted with this game so anything else would be extraneous.”

So look for Ninja Gaiden II to kick some serious butt! Hopefully Itagaki is just tired and interested in producing other IPs. Maybe in five or ten years, when technology allows, we will see a reimagining of the series.
