It has been since 2009 for a new entry in the Tenchu franchise to get a release. It is possible a new game built for the ground up will release this generation.
Acquire president Takuma Endo in an interview with Weekly Famitsu (and translated by Gematsu) has said it is "currently difficult," but he would like to develop a new Tenchu game from the ground up for the "PlayStation 5 generation."
A new entry in the series will only happen if the opportunity arises. A trademark for "Stealth Assassin" in Japan in August 2018 was meant to lay the groundwork.
Endo added he wants to launch an indies brand to develop unique games. This would be separate from the main brand at Acquire. He hopes to launch the indie brand and its first game by the end of this year.

They saw how successful Ghost of Tsushima was, of course they want to make a new Tenchu game.
The first tenchu was great for it's time. I don't know if it would work today, since many games have used and expanded on the game mechanics since.
Hopefully they won't F it up.
Relieve the glory days lez go!
I assume they'll have to commission a third party? I know they nearly did with FromSoftware before it turned into Sekiro. Tenchu was my first true love in gaming. Turned me into a stealth buff. I REALLY hope to see it return to glory some day.
This was a series I really liked back on PS1, would appreciate it coming back strong.
