When it ends, it ends
I could talk for hours about Team Ninja.
The studio on which his house is built Dead or alive but really made a name for itself with the years 2004 Ninja Gaiden is one of the most fascinating action developers out there. Ninja Gaiden (Black) is still an absolute classic, and his legacy has taken them through a more difficult time. They even managed to get a contract to develop Metroid: Other M, and helped Omega Force with Hyrule Warriors! They have achieved a lot in the past two decades and they have already changed.
But regardless of their past performance, I see 2017 as a turning point for Team Ninja. Nioh really knocked it out of the park and showed us what this crew really can do; properly throw them off the baggage of Tomonobu Itagaki. According to the studio Nioh the journey is over, but soon enough they will have a lot more in store for us.
Speaking to Famitsu, Team Ninja producer Fumihiko Yasuda states that the “development of the Nioh series will reach a resting point ‘after’ seven long years of development ‘. As a remark they probably count the time between development Nioh until the release of the latest DLC for Nioh 2, and / or the upcoming remaster bundle.
I’ll be sorry to see it go away, but if they want to hang it, they’ve got it right through the series. That said, 4Gamer also had a chance to chat with Team Ninja, and there are reportedly exciting things in store for 2021. Yasuda tells the outlet that this year they are “preparing to announce several new titles” from the studio, and ‘watch forward to them. “
So based on Yasuda’s previous comments, it probably won’t be Nioh related. This uncertain future is quite exciting! I hope it will be built on further Nioh‘s success.
