‘Ninja Gaiden 4' Preview: Sliced, Diced And Ready For Action

Ninjas are dominating 2025, aren't they? We sliced and diced our way through Assassin's Creed Shadows back in March and before August is done, the Shinobi series is set to return with Art of Vengeance. However, later this year the granddaddy of all ninja games is being revived; I'm talking, of course, about Ninja Gaiden 4. It'll be 12 years since the last in Koei Tecmo's action series was released (naturally excluding July's 2D Ninja Gaiden Ragebound as that was made by The Game Kitchen and Dotemu) when it lands on October 21 2025. Longtime developer Team Ninja is also back with Ninja Gaiden 4 and its joined by Platinum Games this time around. It's a partnership that's working. I know that because I've already spent a couple of hours playing the game. Spoiler - it's exactly what you'd want from a contemporary entry in this franchise. My preview began on a cargo train that is hurtling through a tunnel. Series protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, was only mentioned in passing during my playthrough. Instead, I took up the role of newcomer, Yakumo, a member of the Raven Clan who has been dispatched to infiltrate a secure unit and assassinate a prisoner. Things go awry and he's left unsure of who to trust. The initial chunk of the demo was spent re-learning the game's fundamentals. There's the typical mixture of light and heavy attacks which lead to ultra-violent combos and executions. Then there's Yakumo's supernatural ability to take on a more defensive stance which is slower than the standard action but it comes with the chance of dishing out higher levels of damage. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder All of this was played in Performance mode (which I chose above Quality) and there were no technical issues. The action is relentlessly fast and slick. There's a constant emphasis on forward momentum; you're thrust into bloody bouts consistently as you make your way through each zone. There are opportunities to slow down, however. After you meet a certain character, you're intermittently given the chance to enter a training arena where you can hone your skills. The combat feels deeper and more layered in Ninja Gaiden 4 and so I welcomed these moments to fiddle with the moves and abilities I wanted to use the most, thus defining my own sadistic fighting style. I also spent some time with Trials, an arcade-like mode that lets you replay parts of the story, taking on enemies and bosses to earn points (that'll help you climb a leaderboard) and in-game currency. Back to the story - eventually, that train bursts out of the tunnel and Yakumo is soaked in the light of a bright moon. This is where the preview really wowed me. Looming on the horizon above him is the remnants of a dystopian Tokyo that looks grimy and undeniably pretty in equal measure. Once given the chance to explore it, the visuals beam. Neon lights reflect off of the rain-drenched streets. Blood splatters across the screen as Yakumo flips around between enemies. From the first couple of hours, it's clear that Ninja Gaiden 4 is going to be a visual spectacle with stylish action, as expected. It also lives up to the immensely challenging nature of its predecessors, although the difficulty can be toned down a notch. It'll appease FromSoftware aficionados who are a glutton for punishing games. Meanwhile, those who feel alienated by the toughness of modern action titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls will find their place in this series.

Ex-Kroger CEO ordered by judge to reveal ‘embarrassing' details in lawsuit involving singer Jewel

A Cincinnati judge has ordered former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen to provide a written account of why he abruptly left the grocery giant in March — potentially exposing details the executive's attorneys have called 'completely irrelevant' and 'embarrassing' in a lawsuit that involves singer Jewel. The circumstances surrounding 65-year-old McMullen's surprise resignation have become a point of interest in a lawsuit unrelated to his exit. Jewel — the songstress known for 90s hits like 'Foolish Games' and 'Hands' — has together with a business partner sued Kroger over the company's annual Wellness Festival, claiming they were central to launching the event and are owed damages over alleged contractual problems. 4 Former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen (seen far left) has been ordered to reveal details of his exit from the company as part of an unrelated lawsuit brought by singer Jewel (seen second from left). Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger Their lawyers argued that delving into details of McMullen's resignation could be relevant to his credibility if he appears as a witness and could inform the court's view of what they describe as an 'allegedly corrupt corporate culture at Kroger.' McMullen's legal team pushed back, calling the questions 'completely irrelevant' and 'embarrassing,' but the judge ordered him to answer in writing. The Aug. 1 directive from Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Christian Jenkins required McMullen to submit a sworn explanation by Aug. 8 that details the reason for his exit and identifies others involved, according to the court's order. It wasn't immediately clear whether McMullan had complied with the order. The Post has reached out to McMullen's lawyers for comment. Whether any written account from McMullen becomes public will depend on a later ruling about its relevance to the case. The judge can keep it under seal if he decides it matters to the lawsuit, or exclude it entirely if it does not. McMullen stepped down after more than a decade leading the Cincinnati-based grocery company, following what Kroger described as an investigation into his 'personal conduct.' 4 Rodney McMullen, former Kroger CEO, has been ordered to explain the reasons behind his sudden resignation. Bloomberg via Getty Images The company did not elaborate at the time. As part of his departure, McMullen forfeited all unvested equity and bonuses — $11 million in total, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. McMullen earned $15.7 million in 2023. 'Usually a CEO has downside protection if they leave,' Eric Chaffee, a corporate law professor at Case Western Reserve University, told Fortune. 4 Jewel performed on stage in Cincinnati in 2021. Jewel and a business partner have sued Kroger over the company's annual Wellness Festival. Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger 'The fact that he was willing to give that up may provide some insight that what went on here was something he did not want revealed.' Chaffee told Fortune it is 'somewhat invasive' to probe a CEO's departure, but noted that Kroger itself linked the resignation to 'business ethics,' which can make the line of inquiry easier to justify. In civil litigation, he added, attorneys commonly try to 'test that individual's credibility… to figure out whether they behave in an ethical manner.' 4 Jewel shares the stage with then-Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen at the company's wellness festival in Cincinnati in 2021. Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger Chaffee pointed out that US courts strongly favor openness. There is, he said, a 'strong preference that the public has access to judicial proceedings — not just to be nosy, but because transparency makes for a fairer legal system.' The judge will ultimately decide how much of McMullen's account the public can see, if any. Kroger's sparse explanation left room for speculation when McMullen resigned, and the new order renews interest in what the company and its former leader have chosen not to disclose. 'There's a cloud that's left by his departure,' Chaffee told Fortune, 'but companies sometimes decide that's better than the damage that could come from disclosure.' For McMullen, silence may also be a rational choice. 'It might be something embarrassing to him personally, to a family member, or something that could have future repercussions for his career,' Chaffee told Fortune. Executive careers can hinge on public perception, and 'if you're a CEO and there are news reports out there that you've done something you shouldn't have, getting another top job can become very, very difficult,' he said. The Post has sought comment from Kroger, McMullen and Jewel.
