- Steam Cloud Support - 20 May 2026
As part of our ongoing efforts to celebrate and enhance the Square Enix back catalogue, we’re reviewing a number of classic titles to see where we can introduce modern quality of life improvements. One key focus has been retrofitting Steam Cloud support, allowing players to seamlessly carry their progress across multiple devices – including PC and Steam Deck. We recently rolled out Steam Cloud Support for Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause 3 with great success, and we’re pleased to share that this work has now been extended to Mini Ninjas, which is available today with full Steam Cloud support functionality.While this update currently applies to a select number of titles, we’re continuing to explore opportunities to expand these enhancements across more of the Square Enix catalogue over time.If you experience any issues with this update, please let us know via the Steam Community Hub, or reac…
- Hitman developer IO Interactive will reveal a “new project” tomorrow - 18 November 2020
Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the original Hitman game, Codename 47. It’s a date that the creators of the series appear to be acknowledging by revealing a “new project” on that day. We already know that Hitman 3 is coming out in January, and that it’s going to be the final instalment of the “World of Assassination” trilogy. So what else could it be? (more…)
- Don't Ever Leave Me Again, Mini Ninjas - 6 March 2013
I contend that one of Square Enix's finest acquisitions in 2009's take-over of Eidos Interactive was the six miniature trained killers of 2009's action-adventure, Mini Ninjas . Soon they will be an animated series, but for now they're an endless runner, and I've missed them so much. I didn't play the Kinect-powered Mini Ninjas Adventures last year because of that whole Kinect-powered bit (no room to groove in Faheyland), so today's iOS runner is my first heady hit of the tiny blade-dancers in three years, not counting replays of the original. So fond am I of these little bastards that I singled them out from this week's crop of four big-name endless-running mobile games ( Temple Run: Oz and two more to be named later) for a little special attention. Sticking close to the original storyline, Hiro and friends (who appear in the game via transformative power-ups) are tasked with bringing d…
- Square Enix launches ad-supported browser game portal - 29 August 2012
Square Enix is launching a new Web-based gaming portal that offers some of the company's back catalog for free. The "CoreOnline" service lets you play Hitman: Blood Money or Mini Ninjas by either watching advertisements between chunks of the games, or paying a fee to bypass them. The CoreOnline site (via GI.biz ) only boasts those two games so far, but promises others on the way like Tomb Raider Underworld and Gyromancer . Save data is also stored on the cloud, so you can pick up from a different computer or browser at any time. This isn't the first time the publisher has experimented with cloud gaming. During the launch of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the publisher included a free OnLive version of the game with every retail copy, leading to a scuffle with GameStop. It appears Square Enix is now more interested in pursuing its own platform, instead of partnering with the beleaguered stre…
- Those Adorable Mini Ninjas Get Kinect-ified for Xbox Live Arcade - 1 June 2012
We've not heard much from Hiro and his tiny assassin friends since 2009's Mini Ninjas , which makes sense; you're not supposed to hear ninja. Fans will get a chance to learn that for themselves come June 29, when Square Enix releases Mini Ninjas Adventures , a Kinect-powered fight-fest for Xbox Live arcade. Hinted at back in March via trademark filings that greatly excited our resident Australian , Mini Ninjas Adventures follows Hiro through 21 levels of gesture-based combat, mini-games and boss fights on a quest to rescue his master and colleagues from the evil Samurai Warlord. Expect plenty of standing in front of your television, flailing with great purpose. Developed by Side-Kick Ltd. (appropriately enough), Mini Ninjas Adventures will be available June 29 in North America and Europe for the low, low price of 800 Microsoft points. Perhaps it'll show those damn Fruit Ninja how it's d…

- Square Enix trademarks Mini Ninjas: Hiro's Adventure - 15 March 2012
minininjahirosadventure.com . Siliconera spotted them, but is none the wiser about what they refer to. Mini Ninjas was the friendly cartoon action game made by Hitman and Kane & Lynch developer IO Interactive. Right now, IO is making Hitman: Absolution for release this year. And after that, IO apparently wants to make new IP , presumably to launch on a new generation of consoles. So what is Mini Ninjas: Hiro's Adventure, if anything at all? It's not the Google Chrome version, which launched this week. "Square Enix does not comment on rumour and speculation," Eurogamer was told.
- Whoah, we Might Get More Mini Ninjas - 15 March 2012
Square Enix has filed new trademarks in relation to the Mini Ninjas franchise. Which, very quietly, is one of my favourite games of this entire console generation. So this is way more exciting than it should be.
- Mini Ninjas: Hiro's Adventure trademarked - 14 March 2012
Mini Ninjas appears to be getting a sequel in some capacity, titled "Mini Ninjas: Hiro's Adventure." A trademark from Square Enix, along with domain registrations, mention the new title. Exactly what Hiro's Adventure could be, however, is still in the dark. Siliconera noted the trademark registrations. Eidos was the original publisher of Mini Ninjas back in 2009, but it has since been folded into Square Enix. When Google Chrome had its coming out party for in-browser games, Square Enix mentioned that Mini Ninjas would be available on the service sometime in 2012. It seems that despite mixed reviews , Square still sees value in the brand.
- New Google Chrome tech makes Bastion playable in browser - 9 December 2011
Celebrated Xbox Live Arcade and PC game Bastion can be played today inside your Google Chrome browser. Try it - the technology is eye-opening. Bastion spearheads new Google Chrome technology called Native Client, which allows console-level games to run in the browser. Square Enix has adapted console game Mini Ninjas, made by Hitman dev IO Interactive, for Google Chrome. But this doesn't appear to be available yet. The ubiquitous 3D browser and mobile engine Unity is also supported. The benefits of Google Chrome Native Client - besides from being able to trial-play Bastion in under a minute - are a secure and portable platform used by 200 million people around the world. Releasing a game through Chrome would presumably make it piracy-proof, although a constant internet connection would be required. Support for game pads and varying operating systems is on Google's to-do list. Native Clie…
- Hitman dev IO making new IP after Absolution - 1 December 2011
Danish Hitman developer IO Interactive will work on new IP following the completion of Hitman Absolution. That's what studio head Niels Sorensen is reported to have told Gamasutra . There was, however, no mention of what this new IP will be. Sorensen explained that after Hitman Absolution, released next year, part of IO will go on to collaborate with new studio Square Enix Montreal on a brand new next-gen Hitman game. The rest of IO, Sorensen said, will begin work on the new IP. "When people work on the same IP for some time, I believe that there's a sort of creative drain," Sorensen told Gamasutra. "Thankfully we managed to make sure we keep focusing on different IPs and keeping people fresh." "We've built an incubation department whose focus is work on new IP and prototypes, and all sorts of things for existing and new IP. And that's a really interesting sort of secret place where the…
