Massive PS5 Update Gives You Reason to Replay Ninja Gaiden 2 Black 1

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black may have come from nowhere, but it was one of the best-selling PS5 games in the US last month. And now you already have a reason to replay it.

A new update, available now, adds New Game+ mode to the popular remaster, allowing you to enjoy the entire campaign again with all of your previous content unlocked.

The patch also incorporates Photo Mode, and the ability to hide the projectile weapons being carried on your back.

Here’s the full patch notes, provided by developer Team Ninja:
