Team Ninja has teased Ninja Gaiden III with this teaser trailer, showing nothing at all and alluding to an unmasking. But that could of course just be a trailer gimmick. Still, the three-quel (if anything like its predecessors) promises to be dark, fun and less excruciatingly hard than the past two games.

Team Ninja has promised players that they will experience what it feels like to cut through a body, incorporating a feeling of physical resistance with each slice and/or dice. The game will explore Ryu's character as a person, including his backstory, though the story will take place after the events of Ninja Gaiden II.
