Hordes of undead can only be stopped by Yaiba’s willingness to use any means necessary to get the job done. Step into a stylized living comic book where stunning graphics depict a world gone mad. Brandishing his ninja sword and the mecha weapons in his cyber arm, he slaughters zombies with brutal, over-the-top abandon. Cleaved in two, he is brought back to life with cyber-technology. In YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z, players will battle fierce zombies as Yaiba, a cyborg ninja who will do anything to get revenge and stay alive. Sure, she doesn’t really care too much about right, wrong or duty, but maybe because of this, she has an easier time dealing with Yaiba’s ”special” attitude. Miss Monday, an engineer for Forge Industries who brought the pieces of Yaiba back to life with cybernetic enhancements, will be there making sure all of Yaiba’s cybernetics are operating at their peak performance levels as he tears through these hordes of zombies. Whether it be by chain flail or cybernetic rocket punch, no amount of zombies have a prayer when face to face with Yaiba’s homicidal rage.įortunately for Yaiba, he will not be tackling this slaughterfest alone. To get through this side-scrolling gauntlet, Yaiba will have to push himself to his own limits employing all the dirty tricks of his trade. Brought to life through classic 8-bit stylized cut screens and UI, this new mode will have Yaiba battling though hordes of elemental zombies, mechanized enemies, and other familiar baddies reminiscent of a certain 8-bit ninja’s plight (ahem) as he racks up more mad points with every brutal kill. The new “NINJA GAIDEN Z” Mode expands the YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z experience allowing Yaiba’s over-the-top zombie chucking antics to spill over into an all-new 3D side-scrolling realm. The DLC release of “Beck” will be followed by a Camouflage costume for Yaiba as well. Additionally, in collaboration with comcept, “Beck” the main character of Keiji Inafune’s Mighty No.9 will make a cameo appearance in the form of an alternate costume for Yaiba. Accompanying the new trailer are a variety of screenshots and information about Yaiba’s rage mode, entitled “Bloodlust”, and his cybernetic-savvy companion, Miss Monday. Team NINJA today revealed the first official details and an all-new trailer detailing the retro-stylised side-scrolling “NINJA GAIDEN Z” Mode, which will be included in the upcoming YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z.
