The Game Kitchen and Dotemu have dropped a new a demon-slaying gameplay trailer for the upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, debuting Kumori, the second protagonist for the 2D sidescrolling action platformer that’s set to arrive later this summer.

Kumori is a member of the antagonistic Black Spider Clan central to the Ninja Gaiden series. Kumori’s fighting style “forgoes traditional rules to emerge victorious from battle by any means necessary.” Using a mix of modern weaponry and demonic sources of power, players get a taste of Kumori’s abilities in the latest trailer.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound picks up immediately after the opening moments of the original NES Ninja Gaiden. The veil between the human and demon realms has broken, leaving the world linked with a gate to darkness. After Ryu Hayabusa leaves the Hayabusa Village to avenge his father, it’s up to Kenji Mozu, a fledgling member of the Hayabusa Clan, to confront the forces of evil.

The destinies of Kenji and Kumori intersect as they overcome the generational grudges of their respective clans. Their only way to survive is to use the forbidden power that merges Kumori’s spirit with Kenji’s. Filled with thrilling levels teeming with monsters, the quest will require them to skillfully wield their fusion, “Ninja Fusion,” to maximize the talents of both Ninjas.

Currently, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is in development for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Xbox Series and Xbox One.
