Shinobi: Art of Vengeance - Free Demo Available Now on Multiple Platforms

Sega and Lizardcube have released a free demo for Shinobi: Art of Vengeance on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The full game will launch on August 29 for these platforms. The demo offers players a preview of the game's first stage, Village Oboro, where Joe Musashi's city has been destroyed by evil forces. Players first navigate the village in story mode, then return in arcade mode to unlock additional tools for exploring alternative routes. As protagonist Joe Musashi, players will confront the evil Lord Ruse and rescue the widows and orphans amidst the rain-soaked rooftops of Neo City. The game features modernized action, including fluid earth-air combos and a medal system for customizing ninja skills. Digital pre-orders offer a 10% discount, along with two exclusive bonuses: the classic Arcade outfit for Joe Musashi and the Hunter's Luck Amulet. Limited Run Games and select regional retailers offer physical copies for pre-order in three different versions.
