本作的标题中可能会含有“3”这个代表续作的数字，不过别被这一个数字所蒙骗-根据TEAM NINJA领队：早矢仕洋介所说，《忍者龙剑传3》与其说是续作不如说是系列的重生。

“我们从一开始就试图以新的概念去开发《忍龙3》，可以说我们是照着“开发这个时代最精彩的动作游戏”这个目标而开发，”早矢仕洋介在最近同FAMI通的采访中说：“由此，《忍龙3》不会被过去的作品所束缚。当然，我们并不会抛弃忍龙曾经的精髓。”

很有趣的是，曾经的竞争对手：《鬼泣》系列也号称要重生。不过貌似在TGS2011的海报中，至少隼龙的形象还没有像但丁变得那么雷人。

“隼龙在这张海报里看起来是要用他的右手做什么，”早矢仕洋介随便调侃道：“当然，这张图里血也是个值得注意的地方-隼龙的右手沾满了血。”

从目前来看《忍者龙剑传3》的开发还处在早期阶段，不过游戏的基本原型TEAM NINJA已经定义完毕。不过想了解《忍龙3》的详细信息，看来广大粉丝要再等一阵子了。

It may have the number 3 in the title, but apparently you shouldn't let that fool you -- according to Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi, Ninja Gaiden 3 will be less a sequel and more a reboot to the whole series.
"We're developing it with the idea of restarting at the beginning, saying 'We'd like to make the action game that's most interesting for the current era,'" Hayashi said in an interview with Famitsu.com (via Andriasang). "With this meaning, it's going to be a game that's not bound by the past more than necessary. Of course, we will be valuing the past, but in a good meaning we'd like to make it into a game that's not tied down by the past."

There's almost something cosmically fitting about that fact that both the next Ninja Gaiden and the next Devil May Cry games will act as reboots for their respective franchises, considering they've often been cast as rivals in the past. As for what Ninja Gaiden 3 will actually be about, though, Hayashi would only offer vague hints regarding the promotional image (shown here) released at the Tokyo Game Show back in September.

"He seems to be doing something with his right hand," Hayashi teased. "Also, there's something not normal about this hand. It's covered in blood, but there's something unnatural regarding the blood."

And it looks like it'll still be a while before these riddles are answered. Hayashi said they've reached the point of completing an internal prototype of the game, but it "will be a bit longer before we share info with everyone.".
