Early Shinobi Introduction & Gameplay Footage Leaks

Sunday, September 8th, 2024

Some footage reported to be of the introduction sequence as well as some in-game action of the upcoming untitled Shinobi game has leaked. There is no word on whether this footage is legit or not, but it’s an impressive offering that looks remarkably similar to the footage previously shown at the 2023 Game Awards. There is currently no word on the game’s official title, platforms it will release on or who is currently developing it at the time of writing.

The footage is currently only available to watch on X (formally Twitter) via user @Ryanfrombronx so click here to view the video. The same user also leaked some more Shinobi footage back on the 31st of August which you can also watch by clicking here.

Here’s some screenshots of the in-game action for you to browse as well:

While there is no official word on a developer at the time of writing, the art style is very similar to that of Dotemu, Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games’s Streets of Rage 4. Fingers crossed we get to see more of the game through official means very soon.

SEGA Reveal New Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage Games at The Game Awards 2023

Friday, December 8th, 2023

SEGA have revived 5 of their classic franchises for new games. In a reveal video at The Game Awards 2023, the publisher has announced that new entries in the Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage franchises are currently in development and showcased some brief gameplay of each title.

The new Jet Set Radio carries forward the cel-shaded graphical style of its previous 2 entries and appears to add new traversal capabilities.

Shinobi stays in the 2nd dimension for a fast-paced game that looks like it plays similarly to Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master. However, it is now sporting a hand-drawn art style that isn’t too far removed from Streets of Rage 4.

Golden Axe is once again going for a 3D action game style similar to its last entry Golden Axe: Beast Rider, but appears to have more playable characters and a return to a lot of the franchise’s key iconography.

Crazy Taxi is probably the game that has decided on the most realistic presentation, but it’s still a colourful continuation of its open-world driving hijinks.

And finally we have a new Streets of Rage game that has interestingly ditched its 2D belt-scrolling gameplay for a full 3D interpretation. It’s actually not a million miles off the presentation of the leaked Streets of Rage game that was being pitched by Ruffian Games back in 2012.

You can watch the full reveal video for these games via the embed below:

There are currently no details on when these games will release, for what systems or even what their final titles will be. At the time of writing SEGA have only revealed that the titles are in development alongside a promise that even more games from dormant SEGA franchises are also on the way.
