Team NINJA took the Ninja Gaiden 4 launch to new heights, literally. To celebrate the game’s release, two helicopters soared above Miami, one carrying a 26-foot-wide aerial screen and the other hosting Team NINJA community manager Emmanuel “Master” Rodriguez and Diamond-certified artist Swae Lee.
The live event set a new Guinness World Record for the largest video game display flown by helicopter, as footage of Ninja Gaiden 4 hero Yakumo battling enemies illuminated the night sky. The display was synced to Swae Lee’s unreleased track “Flammable,” turning the stunt into a fusion of gaming, music, and technology.
Inspired by the game’s lore, where survivors build skyward cities above flooded Tokyo, the event brought Ninja Gaiden 4’s high-flying action to life. Using live broadcast tech from aerial media company HELI-D, gameplay was streamed directly from one chopper to the other’s massive airborne screen.
Ninja Gaiden 4 launches tomorrow, October 21, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam, and PlayStation 5. It’s also available day one with Game Pass.
The Deluxe Edition includes the upcoming “The Two Masters” expansion, plus exclusive skins and items. Pre-orders for any version unlock the Dark Dragon Descendent Yakumo skin at launch.
