Ninjala is a morphing ninja gum action game that allows players to blow bubble gum to craft weapons and use the unconventional fighting method ninjutsu. Adapting to different landscapes, players must use lightning fast reflexes and super parkour mechanics to combat and counter their opponents. The game brings a new era to the world of ninjas through online battles against other players.

These young descendants of ancient ninja clans wield a variety of special items and abilities, highlighted by the use of distinctive “Ninja-Gum” weapons.

Players can take on the game in an 8 Player Battle Royale, a free-for-all ninja conquest.

Players who missed the first open beta will have another chance to try out the eight-player arena battle mode and a training mode on May 31, with specific times for each region listed below. Access to the game will only be available during the time slot for your region. During the open beta, players will be able to wield four of the 12 weapons that will be available at launch: the Ippon Katana, Drill Beat, SK8 Hammer, and Trick Ball. You can download the Ninjala beta from the Nintendo eShop at a later date with an internet connection and a Nintendo Account. A Nintendo Switch Online subscription is not required to play Ninjala.
