Shinobi: Art of Vengeance SEGA Villains Stage DLC Review – An Expansion That Pays Homage To SEGA’s Legacy and Offers Greater Challenges!
As one of the five legacy games to be released under the SEGA Power Surge initiative, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance is one of the best action video games in the franchise that came out within the last year. Released in August 2025, the game earned widespread critical acclaim with Metacritic scores in the high 80s (87–88), making it the highest-rated Shinobi title of all time and one of the strongest action-platformers of 2025. This success underscores SEGA’s renewed commitment to reviving its classic IPs with high-quality modern experiences.
With the SEGA Villains Stage DLC releasing tomorrow on April 3rd, I had some time playing the latest expansion through early access, courtesy of SEGA. Check out the latest review covering SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance SEGA Villains Stage DLC and what to expect from this upcoming DLC expansion.
