GungHo Online Entertainment has announced Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet, a new open-world action game coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027.
Revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct, the sequel marks a major shift for the series. After the original Ninjala reached more than 11 million downloads worldwide, Ninjala 2 moves away from its PvP focus and into open-world PvE action.
Ninjala Goes Open World
Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet keeps the series’ fast Ninja-Gum Action combat while expanding the game into a large explorable world.
Players can travel through nature-filled landscapes, complete quests in any order, conquer dungeons, and fight massive bosses. The combat system also adds weapon attributes, item crafting, and cooking using gathered materials.
A New Planet, New Threats, and Returning Faces
The story begins at WNA Academy, where a mysterious stranger manipulates the protagonist into breaking the Forbidden Seal.
That disaster transports the Academy to an unknown planet and unleashes the Prime Tetrad of the Xenos Army. Stranded far from Earth, the young ninja student must work with allies to find a way home while uncovering a hidden destiny.
Fan-favorite characters from the original Ninjala, including Lucy, Berecca, and Van, will return alongside new characters.
Solo and Co-Op Support
Players can explore Ninjala 2 alone or team up with up to four friends in local or online co-op.
Co-op play lets squads tackle dungeons and bosses together while coordinating Ninja-Gum combat across the open world.
First Demo Coming to Anime Expo
Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet will be playable at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles at West Hall booth #2316.
The demo will include two playable courses. The Planetary Exploration Course focuses on combat, while the Photography Course lets players sightsee around the new world. Anyone who plays the demo will receive a limited-edition keepsake.
Ninjala Anime Streaming for Free
To help fans catch up, GungHo will stream the first 63 episodes of the Ninjala anime for free on the official Ninjala YouTube channel starting June 12.
The episodes will release sequentially and cover the story leading into Ninjala 2.
Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027.
