Ninjala Season 7

In a new developer diary today, GungHo outlined what’s planned for Ninjala. Season 7, which carries a horror theme, is set to begin on September 9.

Here’s some additional information about upcoming content:

In an interview with GamesBeat, GungHo Online president Kazuki Morishita discussed the performance of Ninjala. It appears to be doing well, as Morishita mentioned that the amount of downloads “grew much faster than we expected.”

Ninjala has been most popular in the United States. Japan, then France, and finally Spain round out the top four in that order.

As for the future, it looks like GungHo will revisit Ninjala at some point with even more projects. Morishita said in the same interview that the company is “thinking about doing more spinoffs” down the road.

Ninjala is out now on the Switch eShop. 

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:
