Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Demo Overview

Here’s what players can expect from the Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Demo

Players can enjoy a demo-exclusive version of the game’s tutorial stage, Oboro Village—the starting point of Joe Musashi’s quest for vengeance.

There, you’ll find numerous challenges to enjoy, including tougher foes not included in the regular version of the stage and a variety of hidden secrets.

Adjustments have been made to the shop system and demo so that players can experiment with Musashi’s moves, Ninpo, Ninjutsu, and combos in Oboro Village.

Arcade Mode is also available in the demo. Put your skills to the test and try your best to set a new
high score!

SEGA has also released a special Shinobi: Art of Vengeance TikTok filter, where users can time their facial expressions to fill up the gauge and perform a Ninjutsu technique.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will launch on August 29, 2025, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
