Team Ninja has released its biggest update yet for Ninja Gaiden 2 Black across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. In the wake of releasing only a few weeks back, Team Ninja was quick to push out an initial patch for Ninja Gaiden 2 Black that resolved some early problems players were running into. That being said, the update wasn’t a very large one and Team Ninja promised fans that a larger patch would be on the horizon that would add some highly-requested features to the game. Now, that update has finally arrived.
Downloadable right now, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black update 1.003 most notably adds New Game+ to the experience. This means that players will now be able to restart NG2B from the beginning with all weapons immediately unlocked and leveled up from where they were before. In addition to this, Photo Mode has now also been brought to Ninja Gaiden 2 Black along with the option to hide Ryu’s projectile weapon that sits on his back.
