Adult Swim, Rainmaker Productions, SOLA Entertainment, and developer G.rev announced Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins is coming to PlayStation 4 on November 14, followed by the PC (Steam) version before the end of the year. Previously released for Nintendo Switch, Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins is a new action game that adapts an “untold” story of the Ninja Kamui anime.
In Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins, players may slash and shoot their way against hordes of enemies as Tsukumo. The story centers around a sinister plot by AUZA to massacre Tsukumo’s old ninja allies. With a sword and the “Type 0” boost gear, Tsukumo will take on assassins that were depicted in the anime series.
Ninja Kamui is an original work by Adult Swim with character designs by Takeshi Okazaki (Afro Samurai, Batman Ninja). Jujutsu Kaisen and Monsters director Sunghoo Park directed the anime at studio E&H production, while Sola Entertainment produced the series. The anime premiered on February 11 on the Toonami programming block for Adult Swim.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the anime series from Adult Swim:
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
