'Ninjala' Celebrates 1st Anniversary With New Content, Demon Slayer Collaboration, Season 7 Sneak Peek

by Rainier on June 25, 2021 @ 2:24 p.m. PDT

Ninjala is an online and local multiplayer game full of ninja gum action with a wicked cartoonish style, unique and crafty weapon system, and refined parkour mechanics.

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.

Things are heating up for Ninjala’s first anniversary!

GungHo Online Entertainment announced a new collaboration with the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba alongside its other 1st Anniversary festivities. Now through September 9, players will get the party started and get a little sand between their toes at the same time with Season 6.

2021 Roadmap: Season 7

Today’s 1st Anniversary Celebration Stream also revealed that Ninjala’s Season 7 will debut a new Featured Battle called Last Ninja Standing. Gather 8 of your friends and fight until the last one standing wins in this 8-player battle royale! All Gum Weapons and Shinobi Cards are allowed, and players will duke it out on the WNA Academy stage. There are no second chances here—once you go down, you cannot respawn. Do you have what it takes to come out on top?

Additionally, Season 7 will introduce a Visual Lobby in beta. The lobby can host more than eight players, who can communicate by showing off their outfits, Emotes, Stickers, and more. No fighting is allowed, but nothing is stopping you from running up the walls or doing Gum Dashes!

Ninjala is designed by Takeshi Arakawa, former Senior Director and Co-Producer of the Dissidia: Final Fantasy series and Planning Director of The World Ends With You, and Kazuki Morishita, Executive Producer of Puzzle & Dragons and LET IT DIE.

Ninjala is currently available worldwide as a free digital download on the Nintendo eShop.
