In a delightful twist during the latest Nintendo Direct, the studio revealed that the vibrant world of Ninjala will return next year with a brand‑new sequel.
Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet is slated to launch exclusively on the Switch 2 in spring 2027, heralding the franchise’s inaugural open‑world adventure. The game is positioned as the first entry in a two‑part saga, following the hero’s dramatic plunge into an uncharted realm after shattering a forbidden seal.
The journey will span sweeping landscapes as players strive to return home, mastering a suite of Ninja Gum techniques—including Gum Boost, Gum Balloon, and a brand‑new Gum Hook—to traverse the planet swiftly. Combat will feature exhilarating “IPPON” victories against foes wielding katanas, hammers, rockets, and more.
Co‑operative play will support up to four players, allowing teams to tackle towering adversaries both locally and online. Details on competitive multiplayer, pricing model, or free‑to‑play status remain undisclosed for now, but updates will be shared as they emerge.
GungHo has begun phasing out the original multiplayer‑centric Ninjala title, a move that signals the company’s shift toward its upcoming sequel. The legacy game has also received a compatibility update for the Switch 2, ensuring players can still enjoy the experience on the latest console.
In a celebratory push for the sequel’s announcement, the original Ninjala is offering a limited‑time giveaway of 1,000 Jala to its community. Additionally, Episodes 1‑63 of the Ninjala anime are returning to YouTube, with GungHo emphasizing that the series “directly ties into the story of Ninjala 2.” By catching up now, fans will feel like seasoned veterans stepping into the new game.
