Ninjala reveals first anniversary events, including new Demon Slayer collaboration
Posted on June 24, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
It’s officially been a year since the launch of Ninjala. To celebrate, GungHo has a few different events in store, including a new collaboration.
Revealed today is a partnership with the hit anime/manga Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Players will be able to get their hands on avatar outfits, Ninja-Gums, and more based on the series’ iconic characters like Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Rengoku.
GungHo has also shared the first details on Ninjala Season 7. It will include a new Featured Battle called Last Ninja Standing, which has you competing to be the last one standing in an 8-player battle royale. Season 7 is also adding a non-fighting Visual Lobby in beta that lets players climb walls and show off outfits and Emotes with up to eight players.
Here’s the full rundown on what’s planned for Ninjala:
June 17-September 9: Season 6
There’s plenty of sand for sandcastles in Season 6, which introduces:
- New Stage: Sphinx Valley, a desert guarded by Set-Drones which grant special abilities when defeated
- 2 Gum Weapons: Yo-yos designed for close combat—get close and personal with Extreme Motor and DJ Scratch
- New Shinobi Card: max out your S-Energy Gauge with Last Spurt, which will not deplete towards the end of a match

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!
