As well as looking gorgeous, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will almost assuredly sound excellent too, as its team of composers are two of the best in the business.
SEGA has announced that Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, Streets of Rage 4, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge) is the lead composer for the upcoming game, and lending a hand is legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage series, The Revenge of Shinobi, Shenmue).
Here's a message from Lopes following the announcement:
Given the previous work from both composers, we expect the OST for Art of Vengeance will be very strong.
The game is due for release on PS5 and PS4 on 29th August 2025. Are you excited to hear the soundtrack for this one? Tell us in the comments section below.

I was delightfully impressed with the SoR4 soundtrack. The 1st game is/ was peak early days gaming for me, and is probably what kick-started (no pun intended) my interest in electro/ techno.
On a side note/ more relevant note, Shinobi's looking great. Even better than the new Ninja Gaiden, dare I say... 🤫
Not a fan at all of SoR 4's soundtrack but I love Yuzo Koshiro, so I'm hyped.
I’m so stoked for this. I’ve yet to see anything that hasn’t impressed me. I’m also a huge fan of SoR4 and its soundtrack, so I expect great things from this one.
Pre ordered this baby for Day 1 love the Devs they've done some brilliant work in the past and you get a lot with the game as extras to earn
Tee Lopes did a great job with the music on TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. The music for the zoo level has no business being that good.
Sold to me already
@J2theEzzo @Lup @ Kraven
Yuzo Koshiro only did a couple of tracks on SOR4. Most were composed by a French guy Olivier Deriviere (who also did the Plague Tale series). SOR1/2 still rank among my favourite game soundtracks ever and Revenge of Shinobi was one of my first three owned games as part of Mega Games 2 on the Megadrive. Simpler times!
@16BitHero
Yeah, I know my man. The quality was nowhere near Koshiro for most of the game.
I think he only did one or two songs. Really sad to be honest.
@Lup I might be in a minority that actually liked it. It's definitely not as good as the 90's stuff -that was groundbreaking - it served it's purpose for me though and kept the adrenaline flowing throughout.
2d games like are not really my beach but damn this looks clean af Ngl
@16BitHero Oh damn! I think I half knew the Plague Tale guy was involved... props to him, too! Boss fight music in the first SoR / SoR2 is like nothing else! Was always so epic hearing it come in, haha.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think Tee Lopes did any of vanilla SoR4. I thought he only composed on the Mr. X Nightmare DLC, which I thought was very fun but actually liked the music of a lot less.
On the SoR4 soundtrack convo, I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think it slaps. SoR2 has some all time classics, however I don't enjoy it beginning-to-end in the same way.
Regardless, I'm very hype for Shinobi. Have a physical copy on pre-order already. In Lizardcube I trust.
I just check PS store and I can't believe this game is only 10-11 bucks. But hey good news with Koshiro and SoR 4 composer.
@Lup SoR 4 ost are amazing. Koshiro only did two tracks but Olivier Deriviere, Yoko Shimomura, and Motohiro Kawashima did a great job with the tracks.
@RudeAnimat0r You're not the minority. Plenty of people including me loves SoR 4 ost. It's a banger from start to finish. People who don't like it are mostly wearing their SoR 2 / Yuzo Koshiro nostalgia glasses too tight.
That's AWESOME. This game looks more and more hype every time I see it.
Never doubted it would have a killer soundtrack.
Tee Lopes on the SoR4 DLC was fire!
It just keeps getting better and better and better. All aboard the hype train.
