Sega's Shinobi Expands Its Legacy with Iconic Villains

This update brings exciting news in the realm of Sega’s action-adventure experiences, where classic antagonists rise to challenge new gameplay frontiers.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance now welcomes a notorious foe from Golden Axe, known as Death Adder. Lizardcube and Sega amazed enthusiasts by reintroducing Joe Musashi in this Metroidvania-inspired adventure—a title that earned exceptional acclaim. Although many players may have already reached the end, the journey is far from over.

Looking ahead to next year, the Sega Villains Stage DLC (provided with the Deluxe Edition) promises further surprises. Among the featured adversaries will be Sonic’s longstanding foe, Dr. Eggman, and the return of Golden Axe’s infamous character, Death Adder. Fans can expect an impressive roster of Sega villains set to face the piercing determination of ninja might.

The expansion is scheduled for an early release next year. For the moment, a preview of the design is available via an Instagram post, offering a glimpse into what awaits.
