Nioh and Ninja Gaiden developer Team Ninja will announce several new projects this year, according to Nioh producer Fumihiko Yasuda.

Speaking with Japanese outlet 4gamer (which I've run through Google translate and my own limited Japanese), Yasuda teased that "we are preparing several new Team Ninja title announcements in 2021." He didn't offer any clues as to what these announcements will be, the scope of them, or when the announced titles will be out, but it's exciting to know that Team Ninja has a lot in the works.

Nioh aside, last year Yasuda said that Team Ninja hopes to eventually "deliver some good news" regarding Ninja Gaiden, which hasn't seen a mainline installment since 2012's Ninja Gaiden 3. Does this mean there's a new Ninja Gaiden in the works, or indeed any sort of Ninja Gaiden activity? Not at all, but it's another possibility worth pocketing as we head into announcement season. 

Speaking of upcoming PS5 games: here all the games that are definitely coming out in 2021 (and beyond).
