Today sees the launch of Ninjala Season 2, and it's bringing new weapons, new abilities, a new stage and more along for the ride.
The big and immediate change is the addition of 'board' weapons, including Festival Board, Ninja Caliber, Camu Camu Plate, and Home Run Surfer. These boards will introduce brand-new Gum Ninjutsu, abilities, and specials to the game.
The new stage is Shinobi City, a Japanese-themed stage that explores the hometown of Shinobis, complete with hot springs that recover health and increase your Shinobi Gauge. More of this season's updates are detailed below:
Gum Ghost – A Gum Shoot ability that fires a ghost-shaped bullet that can pass through walls and deplete other players’ S-Energy.
Potent Poison – Gum Ninjutsu which releases a devastating poisonous gas, depleting opponents’ health and allowing the chance to score an IPPON if it drops their health to 0.
Overpowering Wave – Home Run Surfer’s Special attack that lets players hang ten and ride the waves as they string together multiple attacks. While on the wave, players will not be affected by Gum Shoots and can quickly recover cooldown time after taking damage.
More details surrounding Season 2 were also discussed in the latest Dev Diary video, including the first tease of the Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration. While confirmed to be starting in this season, we're still waiting to hear more about how Sonic will appear in-game.
Have you been playing Ninjala over the past few weeks? Looking forward to getting stuck in with Season 2? Let us know in the comments.

I haven't started it yet. I did not like it in season 1
I played a bit of it when it released and although the concept is cool I could not care less about what goes on in this game.
The anime is pretty good, I'm looking forward to more episodes.
I wish NLife had an option to filter out certain topics or keywords from the news stream. "Ninjala" would be on my list 🤮
Well, no Boxing but there was a JUDO !!! 😀
@NImH Mine would be "Roguelite" and "Metroidvania"
Im saving my Jala till I find an interesting season... Because I didn’t like neither the 1st season nor this one...
I'm loving it so far! The new maps and weapons are great along with the new music. I hope it gets more players over time.
Also I find it kind of odd that people would click on articles for games they dislike. Why not just ignore them? Just because I have no interest in Zelda doesn't mean I'll go around on every article about a Zelda game and comment about how much it doesn't do anything for me. Just seems weird.
@JR150 I don't hate it I just don't love it I paid for that dumb skin and I got to only use it once.
@Snatcher
I wasn't talking to you in particular. I was just speaking generally. The internet would be a better place if people just ignored what they disliked instead of making a big deal out of it.
Yeah the weapon camos being consumable sucks, though. And I say that as a fan of the game. It's not perfect, but it's fun, imo.
Hey. They announced Jurassic World Evolution for Switch, a trailer about Little Nightmares and Lego star wars, and more on the Gamescom direct a few hours ago. Where are all those news?
So, how do these seasons work? Can you still get content from seasons you missed? I'm not terribly familiar with live service games?
@Orpheus79V
On their website is says that content from previous passes may return in the future so don't worry.
@JR150 Oooh, new maps? That Shinobi map sounds cool, I'll have to give this a spin again.
Love the style, but not a huge fan of the combat just yet.
zzzzzzzzz tried it a bunch and it just...is missing something in the gameplay
@NImH
What makes you dislike Ninjala that much?
@Ninjalaislit starting at the most shallow level: The turnt-up, oh-so-cool kid aesthetic is obnoxious to me.
The gameplay is just okay... The music is not to my taste... The overall design is just so irritatingly loud and tacky IMO.
@NImH
Okay. Sorry to hear that you aren't able to enjoy Ninjala.
So, would Splatoon be in the same situation as Ninjala, then?
@Ninjalaislit no. Splatoon has become more like that since 2 came out... But the gameplay, character design and world, and overall aesthetic are far more well-done by Nintendo. Ninjala attempts to deliver something like Splatoon and (IMO) fails because they leaned too heavily on their (cringy, according to me) sense of style, and a free to play model that attracts the kind of players I don't like to play online with.
The Sonic Collab was amazing! Is it going to come back at any point? The only thing I got from the collab was the Sonic Ippon Screen. I was hoping to try and get the rest of the collab's items.
@Benjinat Remember, the Ninjala pass gives you Jala, and other stuff besides costumes and cosmetics, so it might just be worth it to get a season you don't particularly care for just to get more Jala or medals. Unless you are the type of person that doesn't want their stuff cluttered up with cosmetics they'll never use.
