As we previously reported three Ninja Gaiden Sigma expansions will be released before the end of the year. Surprisingly, we won't have to wait too much longer than the Japanese for the first one. Currently, this news is only for European readers. Though, for the moment we're going to assume that it will be released for all English speaking regions simultaneously (but how often does that ever happen?).

The first expansion will be released in Europe on September 6th and will no doubt cost a few pennies. The expansion itself is called "Weapon Master" and consists of five survival modes that require you to utilize limited weaponry to defeat as many opponents as possible. The second is entitled "Speed Master" and consists of five more levels where you must defeat your enemies as quickly as possible. The final expansion will be called "Rachel Master" (Oi, you in the back - stop sniggering) in which you play as Rachel in five levels to become the "World's number 1 Fiend Hunter."

There's no word on release dates for the latter two expansions, nor on any sort of pricing structure. We'll keep you updated with any announcements regarding American release dates, when we hear them.
