**Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Gains Exciting Sega Villains Stage DLC Featuring Iconic Characters**
*Shinobi: Art of Vengeance* is a standout title on its own, but Sega and Lizardcube have taken things further by preparing a fun crossover DLC pack to complement the main adventure. The *Sega Villains Stage* DLC introduces several iconic bosses from other beloved Sega franchises, adding a fresh twist to the gameplay experience.
This exciting DLC pack is set to launch in early 2026 and will include three new fully developed stages, each inspired by a different Sega game. Previously announced characters include Dr. Eggman from *Sonic the Hedgehog* and Death Adder from *Golden Axe*. Now, Sega has revealed the addition of Goro Majima from the *Yakuza* series to round out the lineup of formidable foes that players will face at the end of each stage.
*Shinobi: Art of Vengeance* originally launched in August 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. The game received high praise from critics and fans alike, with Shacknews’ Ozzie Mejia highlighting its striking art style, fluid combat mechanics, and challenging platforming segments.
The *Sega Villains Stage* DLC promises to be a silly yet enjoyable expansion, fitting perfectly with the series’ tradition of introducing memorable and unique adversaries—much like the prior inclusion of a creature reminiscent of Godzilla, but legally distinct.
Fans of *Shinobi* and Sega’s wider universe can look forward to this thrilling addition next year, bringing together legendary villains in one electrifying crossover.
