NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound - Our second major update is LIVE!

We hope you’ve been enjoying the challenge of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound!

Since the release of our D1 major update, we’ve kept listening closely to your feedback and carefully tracking down the issues you’ve reported. Our goal remains the same: to ensure your journey through NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound feels as smooth, intense, and rewarding as it should be.

The D2 Update is focused on polish, bug fixing, and stability improvements, addressing a wide range of situations that could interrupt the flow of gameplay.

Key Fixes & Improvements

Boss Fights & Challenges

• Fixed an issue where striking the boss at the edge of the arena on level 4-5 could push it out of the camera’s view.

• Several challenge conditions (like “Kill boss with a Ragebound Art” in 3-2 or “Win the duel” in 1-1) now properly trigger and reward your performance.

• AdjustedAdjusted Rhyvashi’s encountersimproved stagger cooldown and prevented attacks from lingering after defeat.

• Corrected issues where skipping certain boss cutscenes (e.g., 4-5 helicopter pad) could result in Kenji being unfairly hit.

Gameplay Flow & Checkpoints

• Fixed multiple soft-locks and freeze scenarios when pausing or restarting from a checkpoint.

• Checkpoints now consistently heal Kenji across all levels, and properly respect equipped talismans.

• Restarting from the last checkpoint during boss fights no longer leaves the health bar stuck on screen.

Level-Specific Fixes

• Various collision issues were resolved (Kenji or Kumori getting stuck, clipping through bulldozers, cranes, or going out of bounds in 3-5, 2-2, S-5 and others).

• Environmental hazards (lava, fire, etc.) now correctly respect accessibility knockback settings. Several background and asset display issues corrected (floating containers in S-8, mountain edges in S-3, camera transitions in 3-5).

• Music and dialogue triggers are fixed in multiple levels to align correctly with progression.

Talismans & Accessibility

• Adjusted “ Last Stance ” to only affect melee slashes and guillotine boosts.

• Fixed incorrect stacking effects between “No Rest for the Wicked” and “Unworthy”.

• Accessibility settings (damage, screen shake, knockback) now behave consistently across all situations.

Enemies & Animations

• Corrected erratic behavior in enemies like Bio Harpies, Flying Turrets, and Bio Blockers.

• Fixed Kumori-specific issues (Guillotine charge talisman wrongly affecting Kenji, roll/jump behaviors).

• Improved visual consistency for certain attacks and death animations (Cyclops Demon’s eye, Rhyvashi waves, etc.).

System & Miscellaneous

• Application now detects Windows language settings on first launch instead of defaulting to English.

• Additional improvements to performance and stability across the game.
