Steel meets shadow in the highly anticipated arrival of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, the latest entry in the legendary action franchise.

Developed through a dynamic collaboration between Dotemu (renowned for their work on Streets of Rage 4) and The Game Kitchen (creators of the acclaimed Blasphemous series), Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is set to make its mark on the Nintendo Switch with an official release date of July 31, 2024.

In exciting news for fans and collectors, publisher Silver Lining Interactive has confirmed that Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound will be available in two physical editions for Nintendo Switch users, expanding the options beyond digital download through the Nintendo eShop.

Both editions can now be pre-ordered via Silver Lining’s Direct website, ensuring Switch owners have access to these exclusive packages on launch.

For those seeking a more comprehensive collectible experience, the Special Edition builds on this content by adding several unique bonuses: a cloth map, a set of four pixel-art metal pins, a double-sided hero medallion featuring both protagonists, a pixel stage standee designed for display, and a double-sided poster—all encased in a premium collector’s box.

According to Silver Lining Interactive, these editions aim to deliver a "breathtaking" experience for dedicated fans. The Standard Edition is priced at £39.99, while the Special Edition is available at £59.99, with international pricing adjusted according to regional currencies.
