Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo have released the biggest update for Ninja Gaiden 2 Black yet. Specifically, the update adds modern features like New Game+ and photo mode, which weren't nearly as prevalent when Ninja Gaiden 2 was originally released.

Ninja Gaiden 2 launched for Xbox 360 in 2008. In January, an Unreal Engine 5 remake called Ninja Gaiden 2 Black shadow-dropped during Xbox's Developer Direct showcase following the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is faithful to the game it's a remake of, but did add some more modern features, like easier difficulty modes. Now, the developers are expanding that new feature set further in the latest patch.

This update, which is Ver 1.003.000 on PS5 and Ver 1.0.7.0 on PC and Xbox Series X|S, adds three new features: New Game+, Photo Mode, and the ability to hide Ryu's projectile weapon. New Game+ allows people to replay Ninja Gaiden 2 Black with all the weapons and Ninpo they obtained during the adventure. They will all be reverted to Level 1, though, so players won't be completely overpowered heading into New Game+.

Players will now be able to hide the bow on Ryu's back during gampelay.

The other two features can be found in the options menu. Photo Mode gives players an easier way to take screenshots of what they are playing, while a "Show Projectile Weapon" option in the Game Settings sub-menu allows players to toggle whether or not they want the weapons to appear on Ryu's back during gameplay, which should be useful if they're using one of the bigger projectile weapons but want better visibility during combat.

This update makes some other adjustments and bug fixes, so you can check out the full list of patch notes below:

Additional Content:

  • New Game+
    Added the ability to begin a new game on a difficulty level you have previously cleared with the weapons and Ninpo you obtained in your previous playthrough already unlocked. When starting a new game this way, your weapons and Ninpo will be reverted to level 1.
  • Photo Mode
    Added Photo Mode to the in-game Options Menu. You can move the camera around within a set limit to take screenshots.
  • Ability to Hide Projectile Weapon
    Added a "Show Projectile Weapon" option under "Game Settings" in the Options Menu, which allows you to hide your projectile weapon while it is carried on your back.

Adjustments:

  • Lowered the HP of enemies in Ch. 8, "City of the Fallen Goddess"
  • Lowered the HP of enemies in Ch. 11, "Night in the City of Water"
  • Raised the number of enemies in Ch. 13, "The Temple of Sacrifice"
  • Raised the number of enemies in Ch. 14, "A Tempered Gravestone"
  • Raised the damage dealt by some of Ayane's attacks.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed control issues that occurred when playing at over 120 FPS or while under high computing load.
  • Fixed an issue where controllers would not vibrate based on computing load or FPS settings.
  • Fixed bugs that caused the player to go out of bounds during certain chapters.
  • Fixed bugs that made it impossible to progress during certain chapters.
  • Fixed a bug which caused the game to crash during long play sessions.
  • Other minor bug fixes

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S and is part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate game catalog.
