Ninja Gaiden and Sekiro fans, here is something for you today. Christianbliss has released a brand new mod that brings the iconic ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, to FromSoftware’s latest action/stealth game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Given the fact that these games share a similar Japanese setting, it makes perfect sense to let players control Hayabusa in this action/stealth title. To be honest, it would also make sense to have KOEI Tecmo and FromSoftware collaborate for an official DLC (similar to the collaboration between Monster Hunter World and The Witcher 3).
As the modder noted, and even though this 3D model also replaces Wolf’s model for all the in-game cut-scenes, its rigging is not perfect. In fact, Christianbliss described as “kinda bad” so expect to see some visual glitches and inconsistencies here and there. Still, the mod is functional and I’m pretty sure that some players will be interested in it.

You can download this Ninja Gaiden mod for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice from here. In order to install it, you’ll also have to download Mod Engine and follow its instructions. You’ll also have to unzip the mod file and copy the /parts folder over to the /mods folder in Sekiro’s directory.

We need to get some Ninja Gaiden remasters or remakes for current gen, I am tired of only having Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II as an option to play. I personally prefer NGB & NGIII Razor's Edge over NGII. I only like the earlier levels and limb dismemberments in NG II, the repetitive boss battles and horrible story makes Ryu look ineffectual to me. Why must he fight the same bosses like 20 times over? Also F that last boss, so tedious. A remake or remaster of Ninja Gaiden Black would be beyond epic and amazing.

 

[Celcius]

This is so cool it needs to become official DLC

 

[Mista]

Oh baby, my boy Ryu. Way more majestic than Wolf

 

[Orenji Neko]

That is bad ass and while I understand the rigging might not be perfect yet, just the visual from the screenshots alone is fantastic.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

I’d buy the game today if this becomes an official thing

horrible story

ALL Ninja Gaiden games have a terrible story.

But damn, I really want Ninja Gaiden 4.

 

[TLZ]

Fuh make this happen!

Honestly man, Ninja Gaiden 1/Black story is pretty decent, now Ninja Gaiden III's story was enjoyable action b movie cringe. Ryu fights a freaking Dinosaur. I mainly hate Ninja Gaiden 2's story due to the 1 gazillion boss fights with the same bosses, and something lacking in the story.

 

[Shifty]

Fuckin' YES!

Fitting that he gets modded into the only game since NG to have similarly god-tier block mechanics.

 

[black_13]

Miss me some Ryu! Ninja Gaiden Black is one of the greatest action games.

 

[Jigsaah]

Damnit now I wish I bought this for pc

I have to disagree. NGB's story is riddled with plot holes, has minimal character development, and a laughable villain.
Ninja Gaiden 3's story was boring, incomprehensible, and stupid.

Ninja Gaiden Black's story = how high of a combo can i get with these bladed nunchuks.

Also = When do I get to the arcade cabinet so I can go play classic Ninja Gaiden.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Would like a classic outfit from the OG games.

 

[EviLore]

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Wow. Ryu is amazing and really fits Sekiro. Wolf is kinda boring design wise.

What plot holes may I ask? Minimal character development? Really? I felt Ryu grew. Boring? Laughable villain? Hell naw to the naw naw naw lol.

I actually find NG III/RE to be a guilty pleasure, from story to combat. Now I will say F the plane boss in Razor's Edge, I almost broke a controller on that boss battle.

 

[Mondai]

yo, thats dope.

Okay, here are a bunch of unanswered questions in Ninja Gaiden 1.
- How did the Vigoor emperor come into being? Did Vigoor transform him or something?
- Is Gurdu some sort of worshipped god?
- Where the hell did Ryu's father go? (Not the NES trilogy)
- How the hell did Ayane get to Tairon?
- Why would Gamov work with Murai, the guy that apparently killed him according to Genshin?

I'm not sure how anyone could see Ninja Gaiden's story as anything but a joke.

I know so damn little about Ryu. I don't know what he likes, what he wants, his flaws, his relationships with other people aren't really expanded upon (Although apparently, he and Irene are an item. Who knew?).

But dude, it's okay to admit that Ninja Gaiden had a bad story. That's not even what the games are about anyway: They're about crazy action, and how awesome you can look while hacking and slashing through enemies.

The story worked decently well as a conveyance for more brutal hack'n'slashing, that much is for sure.

I kinda prefer not knowing much about Ryu- it makes him a good avatar for the action without getting bogged down too hard in backstory. Cringed mightily hard when they revealed his face and did the whole daddy subplot in 3.

You have to admit though, 3 did have some cool moments too. I loved that opening boss fight with red hooded guy in Razor's Edge(he was harder).

 

[Mr Hyde]

Saw a mod with 2B yesterday. Way more fun than Ruy.

The fight itself wasn't that good, if you ask me. But the Regent of the Mask was a pretty fun villain while he still had self-awareness, and before he was revealed to be Canna's father.

Fans and Mods always are genius

The one disappointing edge, pc has over consoles. I hope and pray that in the future consoles become moddable within reason. At least we have work arounds somewhat now, but I don't use them.

 

[UltimateUnknown]

I personally love the 2B mod. She just fits.

 

[CyberPanda]

You can now play as Metal Gear Solid Gray Fox and Raiden in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

 

[MMaRsu]

We need the NG games on pc..

 

[stranno]

Yaiba should fit better because, you know, prosthetic arm.

 

[One smexy gam3r]

I was one of the few you who liked yaiba, don't tell nobody.

 

[Shifty]

Yaiba should fit better because, you know, prosthetic arm.

Yes but he's a trash character from a trash game.

 

[stranno]

Yes but he's a trash character from a trash game.

What? It is a great game with great sense of humor.

 

[Shifty]

What? It is a great game with great sense of humor.

Romero zombies, mashy combat and lol so random humor are about as far removed from Ninja Gaiden as you can get. In the context of the series, it's a bad joke.

Taken in its own right as a competitior to the likes of Lollipop Chainsaw I can maybe see it, but that shit is several miles out of my wheelhouse.

 

[TheShadowLord]

There are Japanese gamers from Japan that play single player pc games?

 

[ShinoBboy]

Hey folks, per chance does any one still have this mod they can share?

Take some courtesy screenshots for the bump


**it's not mine... just googled it and found a redit post from a year ago someone asking for it and someone contacted the creator and posted that link

 

[RAIDEN1]

Ryu should have been in Ghosts of Tsush

 

[Ladioss]

Ryu Hayabusa feels like the inferior choice when you already have mods to play as Kasumi or Ayane
