Introducing Kumori: The New Kunoichi in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
Dotemu has officially unveiled the second playable character for the upcoming title Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. Joining the ranks of Ryu Hayabusa’s student Kenji Mozu is Kumori, a kunoichi affiliated with the notorious Black Spider Clan. This exciting addition aims to enrich the gameplay experience with her own unique abilities and storyline.
A New Chapter in Ninja Gaiden’s Legacy
While members of the Black Spider Clan have yet to make their mark as adversaries in the classic Ninja Gaiden Tecmo NES iterations, they gained recognition in several games developed by Team Ninja. Kumori, like Kenji, is an innovative character crafted exclusively for this installment. The plot kicks off with both Hayabusa Village and the Black Spider Headquarters facing a threat from unidentified forces.
Distinct Fighting Styles
As an integral part of the Black Spider Clan, Kumori will showcase a fighting style noticeably different from that of Kenji. Utilizing Fiend-style attacks along with traditional ninja tools such as kunai, she brings a fresh approach to combat. Notably, the initial gameplay footage reveals her use of a motorcycle during battles, further distinguishing her combat mechanics. The announcement trailer also introduces an exciting feature known as Ninja Fusion, which allows players to merge Kenji and Kumori into a single entity, thereby enabling access to a combination of their abilities during attacks.
