Team Ninja Announces Milestone For ‘Nioh’, Potentially Returning to ‘Ninja Gaiden’ Series?

With Nioh 2‘s release on the horizon, Team Ninja have revealed that the original game has reached a milestone of 3 million copies sold.

First launched worldwide for PlayStation 4 in February 2017, followed by a Steam release in November 2017, Nioh has been on a steady climb with its sales, having sold 2.5 million copies this time last February, and 2 million copies in May 2018.

And speaking of Team Ninja, in a recent interview with IGN, director Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that the developer is looking into the possibility of returning to a longtime franchise in the form of a new Ninja Gaiden game! Part of the pull to return to Ryu Hayabusa and company is the recent resurgence of titles surrounding ninjas.

“We are aware that some fans wanted Ninja Gaiden more than Nioh 2,” admits Yasuda. “Now we see a lot of ninja games like [Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice] as well, and we see a lot of good inspirations in those games, so we hope to deliver some good news one day.”

It’s a bit of a coincidence, since much of the Nioh 2 team also worked on the Ninja Gaiden series, according to Yasuda. He went on to say that the “core members of the team that worked on Ninja Gaiden want to make a new game.”

Nioh 2 will launch for PlayStation 4 on March 13.
