Ninja Gaiden 4 has been a long time coming for fans of the series, but can you get early access to it before that release date?
The game is looking to be yet another challenging entry when it comes out this October, but sometimes, some games come out that you want to play as soon as possible.
Here is the answer to whether or not you can play Ninja Gaiden 4 in early access before its release date.
Can You Play Ninja Gaiden 4 With Early Access?
Ninja Gaiden 4 does not have any early access available for players. Everyone will be able to play the game at the same time when it releases on October 21.
While Ninja Gaiden 4 does not have early access, the game will be available through Xbox Game Pass. If you do not have Game Pass, the standard edition will cost $69.99, with the deluxe edition jumping up to $89.99. That deluxe version has various skins, currency, and other in-game items, but it does not provide a 3-day early access to the game like some others do.
Will Ninja Gaiden 4 Have DLC?
Yes, Ninja Gaiden 4 will have a DLC pack releasing in the future.
A story DLC for Ninja Gaiden 4 called The Two Masters is on the way. We don’t know the full extent of this DLC yet, but it will include new weapons for Ryu Hayabusa. More on the contents will be revealed later. The Two Masters will be released sometime in 2026.
People who have upgraded to the deluxe edition of Ninja Gaiden 4 mentioned above will automatically get access to The Two Masters when it releases. As of this writing, we can’t find any word on what a standalone purchase would cost for just the Two Masters without the other deluxe content, or if that will even be available.
If you want to start with the standard edition of Ninja Gaiden 4, or you play it through Game Pass, you can later upgrade to the deluxe edition without needing to rebuy the whole game.
As of now, The Two Masters is the only significant post-launch content for Ninja Gaiden 4 that has been announced.
