Ninjala, the Switch-exclusive free-to-play fighter that was due to release on May 27, has been delayed. The game will now release on June 25.
The news was announced on the game’s Japanese Twitter account, which attributes the delay on the global spread of COVID-19.
【ニンジャラ 発売日についてのお知らせ】
世界的な新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大による影響により、ニンジャラの発売日を5月28日(木)から6月25日(木)に延期させていただきます。
楽しみにしていただいていた皆さまには大変申し訳ございませんが、何卒ご理解の程よろしくお願いいたします。— Ninjala_JP (@Ninjala_JP) May 8, 2020
Ninjala recently hosted an open beta, although it did not go smoothly, as many players had issues getting into it due to server load. The delay might have something to do with these issues.
It seems that developer GungHo Entertainment is all-in on Ninjala, as there’s also an animated series in the works. We’ll be able to see if the game is worth all the excitement soon, despite this delay.
