TOKYO, Japan – September 9, 2021 - It’s time to “fright” to be the last one standing as Season 7 of Ninjala begins today!

Finally, starting October 6, crank up the tunes and rock out to Ninjala’s collaboration with Hatsune Miku.
Horror Theme
Season 7 of Ninjala brings Horror home with its latest theme. It’s no trick—this season is packed with tons of treats:
- 2 Gum Weapons: Introducing the Paw-xing Gloves and Ogre Gloves, a new Punch-Type class with three Break Attacks and Overflowing Power to clobber your foes

Featured Battle
Last Ninja Standing is a new Featured Battle in which eight players face off at the WNA (World Ninja Association) Academy to be the king of the campus. If you get knocked out, don’t count on respawning. This Featured Battle will be available twice a month through November, so take every chance you get to be the WNA’s top ninja.
