SEGA of America and Lizardcube officially announced that the 2D action platformer SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance will release on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 24, 2026, and will be available in both digital and physical editions.
Created in collaboration with Lizardcube, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance follows longtime series protagonist and master of the ninja arts, Joe Musashi, who arrives home from a previous adventure to find his village burned to the ground and his clan turned into stone. Driven by vengeance, Joe sets off on an epic quest, battling hordes of enemies and larger-than-life bosses across stunning hand-drawn worlds. Rife with multiple paths to discover or unlock and packed with smooth, satisfying gameplay, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance will have players attacking and reacting on the move and keep them coming back for more.
SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance on Nintendo Switch 2 will retail starting at £24.99 GBP. It is also available as a digital Deluxe Edition as well as a physical Deluxe Edition (see product page for pricing and details). The Deluxe Editions include the SEGA Villains Stage DLC which pits Joe Musashi against three legendary SEGA foes: the evil genius Dr. Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog), the “mad dog” of Shimano Goro Majima (Like a Dragon/Yakuza) and the ruthless giant Death Adder (Golden Axe).

Great game. Any news if there will be an upgrade path to the Switch2 version? Given SEGAs track record with how they have handled Switch2 games so far I’m guessing not.

Apparently no upgrade path that we can find. Shame really, such a great game as you say.
