'Ninjala' Season 14 Begins Next Week, Reveals Upcoming Tokyo Revengers Collaboration - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 3, 2023 @ 9:46 a.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.

GungHo Online Entertainment  revealed the upcoming wizardry-themed season for Ninjala.

Starting August 10, players can practice witchcraft and IPPONs with additional gum weapons and avatar items. Ninjala will also kick off its second collaboration with the hit anime, Tokyo Revengers, on October 11.

Tokyo Revengers Anime Collab Part 2

Prepare to face the Black Dragons as the popular anime series, Tokyo Revengers, returns to GungHo’s bubble-popping brawler. On October 11, players can don the uniforms of iconic teenage delinquents, including characters like Taiju Shiba and Izana Kurokawa from the Christmas Showdown arc. Players will also have another chance to obtain past Tokyo Revengers Anime collab items.

Bewitching Events

To coincide with the Tokyo Revengers collab, a special WNA Tours Unlimited tournament will be introduced with no level limits to Research Points and Assist Codes. Additionally, players can look forward to a full slate of events across Season 14, including a Featured Battle, Shinobi Challenges, a Fishing Tournament, and more. Details for each event will be announced throughout the season.

Beastly Gum Weapons

Send your opponents flying with two animal-themed weapons: the crab claw-inspired Punch type gum weapon, Chelae Magnum, and the flamingo-inspired Hammer type gum weapon, Flamitango.

  • Players can use Chelae Magnum’s Gum Shoot ability, Gum Kunai, to launch multiple kunai as a diversion to set up an attack. The crustaceous weapon’s Gum Ninjutsu is Punishing Blade, which transforms it into a blade that shoots gum as players attack. This makes Chelae Magnum easier to use than other Punch type weapons. The weapon’s Special, Overflowing Power, will temporarily strengthen attacks and abilities such as Life Recovery.
  • With the Gum Shoot ability Gum Boomerang, Flamitango will return to players after they throw it — a first in the Hammer type weapon class. This weapon can stop opponents in their tracks with the Special Echoing Scream, then summon a shark from a scroll to attack with the Gum Ninjutsu, Baiting Shark.

Picture Perfect

Photography-loving ninja can now capture screenshots of their favorite stages, free of UI. Season 14 introduces the option to hide the UI in Training Mode and while at the WNA Resort. Players can also hide the gum bottle in Room Battles, Training Mode, and the WNA Resort.

Season 14 Release Celebration Campaign

During the Loot Battle Matsuri and Burton's Research Bonus, players will receive additional bonus rewards, like extra Assist Codes and Research Points, beginning August 10.

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.
