It's been speculated for a while that Team Ninja has been working on a potential revival of the Ninja Gaiden series. Earlier this year, they revealed that they'll have many games to announce in 2021, but for clarities sake, it looks like they've put to rest rumours of a new Ninja Gaiden or Nioh. It seems like Team Ninja are working on other projects at the moment, possibly new IPs, and it's doubtful that they'll revive the Ninja Gaiden series like many fans hoped.

In a recent interview with The Gamer, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda, the director of Nioh, cleared up some rumours about their future plans. It was revealed in the interview that Yasuda and team have no plans to develop Nioh 3 right now (though it's possible that'll change in the future), but most of all, there are definitely no plans for a new Ninja Gaiden game. Yasuda expresses interest in working on an open-world game instead, though it remains to be seen if one of the new announced titles from Team Ninja might fit with his description and interests. So without having any plans for heavy-hitters like Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, what could Team Ninja be planning for 2021 and beyond?
