What Awaits Players in Yakoh Shinobi Ops

Set in Warring States era Japan, the game promises an authentic shinobi infiltration experience where teamwork, patience, and stealth are key.

Players will take control of a team of four Shinobi, tasked with infiltrating enemy strongholds and surviving relentless pursuers known as Hunters. Unlike traditional action games, Yakoh Shinobi Ops emphasizes evasion over combat, with missions only considered complete if all Shinobi return alive.

Key features include:

• Unique Ninjutsu abilities – grappling hooks, wall-breaking, smokescreens, flash grenades, and more.
• Hardcore stealth gameplay – avoid traps, sentries, and relentless Hunters.
• Co-op focus – 1–4 players online, requiring perfect coordination to succeed.

Makoto Hayashi, Senior Producer at Shueisha Games, shared:

“Yakoh Shinobi Ops represents the kind of experience we love to champion at Shueisha Games: memorable gaming moments created to be shared. Working with ACQUIRE Corp., a studio renowned for its history in shinobi action games, has been deeply inspiring.”
