"Please look forward to this ridiculous 'zombie x ninja' game," added the boss of the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden studio.

"Additionally, we're also developing a PlayStation 4 title internally, so please look forward to future updates," Hayashi added.

In a promotional video for Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z last December, Hayashi said "Team Ninja is thinking of the next Ninja Gaiden. For example, if the games were food, the Ninja Gaiden series would be a rich meaty entree and Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z would be dessert."

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z will launch for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on March 18.
