The remake released as part of a concentrated effort from the Japanese publisher to put Ninja Gaiden back in the limelight. Later this year, a full-blown sequel named Ninja Gaiden 4 will also launch on the PS5, with development already 70-80% complete.

Ninja Gaiden 2 has mostly been a big hit for Team Ninja, but it seems that the team's work isn't quite done. It recently confirmed that a big update for the game is planned for mid-February that will add "additional features".
