From GungHo Online Entertainment:
Revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct, Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027, with the first demo playable at Anime Expo 2026.
The announcement is accompanied by a limited-time free streaming opportunity of the Ninjala anime, beginning June 12, with episodes released on a rolling basis to help fans catch up on the adventure so far.
Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet marks a new frontier for the series, transforming the original Ninjala’s high-energy PvP into an open-world action game. Players will traverse vast, nature-rich landscapes at their own pace, with the franchise’s high-speed Ninja-Gum Action combat driving every encounter. Along the way, master the power of the Shinobi to conquer dungeons and take down colossal bosses across an undiscovered world.
Ninjala 2 is told in an ambitious two-part story. The Uncharted Planet is the first installment, setting the stage for an epic narrative that will continue in a second chapter at a later date.
An Uncharted World Awaits
The adventure begins at the WNA Academy when a mysterious stranger manipulates the protagonist into breaking the Forbidden Seal. As the entire Academy is transported across the stars to a strange planet, the sinister Prime Tetrad of the Xenos Army is simultaneously unleashed. Now stranded on an uncharted world, the protagonist must work together with their allies to find their way back home to Earth, uncovering their own destiny that lies dormant deep within them along the way.
Key Features
- From PvP to Open-World PvE: While preserving the fast-paced Ninja-Gum Action gameplay that fans love, Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet expands the setting into an open world where players can freely explore and tackle quest-driven challenges in any order. The combat builds on Ninjala's core mechanics with weapon attributes, an item crafting system, and a cooking system using gathered materials.
- Solo or Co-op: Experience the journey at your own pace as a solo player, or team up with up to four friends in local or online co-op. Coordinate with your squad to conquer dungeons and take on colossal bosses together.
- New Protagonists and Familiar Faces: Players step into the shoes of a young ninja student attending the WNA Academy. Fan-favorite characters from the original Ninjala—including Lucy, Berecca, Van, and more—return alongside new characters.
