Ninjalalaunched last summer for the Nintendo Switch, and the free-to-play title has managed to amass over seven million downloads about a year later. In that time, the colorful action multiplayer game has received a couple of collabs with popular properties such asSonic the HedgehogandCapcom’sMonster Hunterseries.
Even thoughNinjalahas only launched on the Switch so far, its popularity continues to skyrocket, and more players are getting in on the Ninja Gum action. For a game that’s doing so well in terms of sheer downloads, one would assume that the dev team or publisher would be interested in bringing the game to a broader audience via other platforms, but there has been no word yet on that happening. However, in an interview with Game Rant,GungHo’s President and CEO Kazuki Morishita shed some light onNinjalaand whether or not it will be coming to other systems in the future.

Free-to-play titles such asFortniteandApex Legendsthrive due to the games being available to such a large and diverse audience. Having a game on multiple platforms will always ensure that players can have the opportunity to give the game a shot, no matter which device they choose. Morishita and GungHo don’t have any plans to bringNinjalaanywhere else right now, but he said it would be possible.
“We developed Ninjala to be optimized for the Nintendo Switch so we don’t have any plans right now, but it is developed so that it can support cross-platform.”
Ninjalawas initially developed with cross-platform in mind, which potentially means that a port could happen in the future, whether that be on a PlayStation/Xbox system, PC, or perhaps mobile. Of course, this is all speculation, asNinjalais a Switch exclusive at the moment, but it could be neat to see the game reach more players that might not own a Switch of their own. Havingcross-play between platformswould also be exciting to see, allowing players to match up with friends on any system.
The idea of bringing Ninjala to other platforms might still be up in the air for the team, but Morishita did confirm that GungHo plans on delivering new content and updates “for a very long time.” In a few years, this could mean that seeingNinjalaon multiple consoles and streaming services might be a possibility. There seems to be muchmore content in the pipeline forNinjala, and as it continues to grow, so will its fan base.
Ninjalais currently in its fifth season and is planned to end on May 18, 2025. This season brings in new stylish costumes, loot battles, and a festival to wrap things all up at the end later this month.
Ninjalais now available for the Nintendo Switch as a free-to-play title.
