Microsoft and PlatinumGames have revealed the official PC system requirements for NINJA GAIDEN 4. NINJA GAIDEN 4 will use Platinum Games’ in-house engine. So, let’s see what PC system you’ll need to run it.
NINJA GAIDEN 4 will combine Team NINJA’s clever combat with PlatinumGames’ fast and flashy action. You’ll battle in intense fights that look awesome and reward good skill and timing. You can use powerful moves like Bloodbind Ninjutsu to switch weapons and crush enemies, along with classic attacks like the Izuna Drop and Flying Swallow.
The legendary ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, will make his big return in Ninja Gaiden 4. He will have both brand-new weapons and abilities, as well as some fan-favorite tools from past games. You’ll be able to customize your fighting style so you can play the way you like best. The game aims to push experienced players to their limits with tough enemies and tricky battles. At the same time, new players will still get an exciting, action-packed adventure full of intense fights, cool moves, and surprising moments.
To play it, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX 590. The game will also require 100GB of free disk-space. With this PC setup, you will be able to run it at 1080p/30FPS with FSR Low and Low settings.
To game at 1080p/60FPS with FSR Medium and Medium settings, you’ll need an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5700XT.
Sadly, the devs haven’t shared any PC requirements for 4K or High/Ultra. One thing is for certain, though. The game is meant to be played with an upscaler. Or at least that’s what the PC specs hint at.
Microsoft will release NINJA GAIDEN 4 on PC on October 21st. Since this is a PlatinumGames game, I’m a bit worried about the PC version. We all know how awful the PC version of NieR: Automata was. Or how about The Wonderful 101 Remastered? So, this will most likely be a barebones PC version, with bad KB&M controls.
Stay tuned for more!

why not show high or max instead?
Because they are telling you upfront that this game will be another UE5 slop fest.
It uses PlatinumGames' in-house engine.

– "NINJA GAIDEN 4 will use Platinum Games’ in-house engine. So, let’s see what PC system you’ll need to run it."
It says upfront "Platinum Games’ in-house engine. " how could this read be skipped in the article?
…and I was actually wondering why the game looks noticeably a step down in visuals from NG2 Black. which this seems to be the answer. usually platinum games never sets any visual bars for their games. or optimization bars for that matter. they usually settle for passable at best.
after seeing more trailers on this, gamers may start wishing for NG to switch back to UE.
System Requirements have become even more useless these days. What can I infer from this 'info'? Absolutely nothing.

You can safely conclude that the PC team has little to no idea what they are doing.
100GB install for a stupid Ninja Gaiden game.
No thanks.
