GungHo Online’s free-to-play multiplayer title Ninjala<\/a> is now in its fifth year, and it looks like the development team will be winding down major support after 21 seasons.<\/p>\n

In a new update, bumping the game up to Version 21.0, an official announcement<\/a> mentions how the team has decided Season 21 and the latest Ninjala Pass will “run indefinitely”.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you for playing Ninjala. The Ninjala Team has an announcement regarding the duration of Season 21.<\/p>\n

In order to provide all Ninjala users with an enjoyable experience and stable service over the long term, we have decided Season 21 will run indefinitely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Accordingly, the Season 21 Ninjala Pass will also last indefinitely. We will still continue to hold various events such as WNA Tours.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The servers for Ninjala apparently won’t be going away<\/a> anytime soon. The title even received a Switch 2 compatibility update on 19th June 2025 – fixing some “previously identified issues”.<\/p>\n

This bubblegum ninja game was released for free on the Switch eShop in June 2020, after multiple delays<\/a>. When Ninjala was initially revealed, it was often compared to Splatoon<\/a> \u2013 with GungHo’s CEO Kazuki Morishita describing it as being “very different”.<\/a><\/p>\n

In our review of the game here on Nintendo Life around the time of its release, we awarded Ninjala seven out of ten stars.<\/p>\n
