Revealed by Masakazu Hirayama on the Official Xbox Podcast during Tokyo Game Show 2025, the expansion will add new weapons for both Ryu and Yakumo. According to Hirayama, Yakumo’s new weapon captures his expressive, aggressive fighting style, while Ryu’s weapon focuses on precision and speed, perfect for players who love high-impact combos.

But it’s not just about new gear. The Two Masters DLC also introduces post-game story content that takes place after the main campaign, following both Ryu and Yakumo’s perspectives. There’ll also be fresh challenge content beyond the existing Ninja Trials, giving veteran players more to master once the main story’s done.

You can grab The Two Masters by getting the Ninja Gaiden 4 Deluxe Edition or by buying the Deluxe Edition Upgrade. The Deluxe version costs $20 (around £16) more than the base game.

The main campaign is expected to last between 15 and 20 hours, but with the upcoming DLC, players can expect even more reasons to dive back into Ninja Gaiden 4’s brutal, fast-paced action.
