Since the official website checks the main conspiracy of the new hero, Yakumo, the ninja team and platinum game don't seem to worry about the pour of Ninja Gaiden 4.
Since its first release at the beginning of this year, we have seen a lot of Ninja Gaiden 4 for fans. There were many gameplay scenes, but one of Platinum and Team Ninja is the story of the game.
In addition to the fact that the two ninjas are confronted with each other, we do not know too much about the main conspiracy of Ninja Gaiden 4. The official story trailer shared some details and gave a hint about what to do, but the main conspiracy was confirmed on the official website of all places.
If you are interested in the story of NINJA GAIDEN 4, do not look at the official website.
At least we know why Ryu and Yakumo are fighting now.
As pointed out by Redditor Starkjaguar2099 in the Ninja Gaiden Subredit, the official website of the game has recently been updated to include more information about many character electricity and the upcoming DLC. Yakumo's character bio is very interesting because it seems to ruin the big part of his background.
Yakumo's electricity confirms that he is a “Dark Dragon's direct descendant” that appears to be a big bad thing in Ninja Gaiden 4. This may not look like a big problem, but it's not mentioned in the game's trailer so far, and it's interesting to be released on the game website.
Some of the opinions on the Reddit thread suggest that this will be released in the first chapter of the game, but it is not mentioned after playing directly.
In order to be completely fair for team ninja and platinum, this is different from what is not difficult to guess at first. Yakumo's alternative outfit is literally called “Dark Dragon Descendant”, which is spelled in a clear view for us. Many fans thought it was just for costumes or fun, but now we know that it is a real conspiracy.
