- Version 1.1 is now live! - 19 February 2025
Dear apprentice Ninzas, We've just dropped a new update that promises even more creative and brutal battles! Let's take a look at what's changing and what’s next. For this update, we went all out, tweaking and adding gameplay elements that, while not completely redefining the meta, will definitely make it richer and open the door to some legendary plays. The first big change: we’ve removed the shield you used to get by performing a hyper attack on a blue block. To be honest, it had been bothering us for a while. It was a bit chaotic, and since it was one of the few defensive moves, it sometimes dragged matches on when players overused it. So, we decided to scrap it. Now, performing a hyper attack on a blue block duplicates it and launches both blocks in perpendicular directions to your attack! As always, it might not seem like a big deal at first. But once you're in-game, the possibilit…
- Quality of life update and what's coming next! - 1 October 2024
Dear apprentice Ninzas, It’s been 1 month since the game launched on Steam, and it’s time to give you an update on how things have gone on our end, the recent minor patch we’ve just rolled out, and what’s coming next! The good news is that we’re really happy with how the launch went, especially since we were expecting a much rougher start. Despite all our efforts, we barely managed to gather around 1,500 wishlists, which was not good at all. But against all odds, we made it into the News and Trending section in several countries and quickly hit 50 reviews with a “Very Positive” rating… and only one single negative review so far. In terms of other stats, Ninza has been averaging over a hundred daily players, with a CCU (concurrent users) hovering around a daily peak of 7-10 players on average, sometimes spiking up to 28 (still not sure why). Over 3,800 players have tried the game at leas…
- NINZA IS OUT NOW! - 28 August 2024
Dear apprentice Ninzas, It’s here! Ninza is available on Steam, right NOW! We won’t lie, after all these years of development, it feels completely surreal, and we’re absolutely buzzing with excitement and dopamine, hihi. With the official launch of the game, the first season has officially begun! We can’t wait to see you grinding quickmatch, climbing the leaderboard, showing off your crazy cosmetic creations, and sharing your reactions and theories about the lore. All the details about this version are available in the patch notes on Discord. We’re streaming on Twitch tonight to celebrate, Ninza style! The idea is to come together and mark this huge moment, this new beginning. We’ll probably play some quickmatch, talk nonsense, and just go with the flow. So don’t hesitate to drop by and celebrate with us! We’ll be drunk on good vibes (and a bit of fatigue too, probably, but in a good wa…
- Release date announcement! - 5 August 2024
Dear apprentice Ninzas, This is a solemn (and a bit emotional) moment because, after all these years, the time has finally come to share Ninza's release date with you! To celebrate, we’ve put together a new trailer 👇 MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Ninza version 1.0 will launch on Steam in just four weeks! NINZA RELEASE DATE: 28TH AUGUST 2024 / 5:30 PM CEST These last few days leading up to the release are going to be pretty intense. We’re giving it our all to deliver the most polished version of the game possible! For us, this release marks the end of an era… but also the beginning of a new one! Those who’ve been with us from the start know how much the game has evolved, gradually becoming a title with strong competitive potential, featuring an online ranked mode, a leaderboard, and rollback netcode. Given the size of our studio, this achievement borders on madness. The challenges we faced—techn…
- Match Making Community Night: save the date! - 16 July 2024
Dear apprentice Ninzas, The release date of Ninza is approaching, and with great excitement (mixed with a bit of stress, hihi). We are fully committed to adding the final touches to our game. But before the big celebration, we wanted to have a little pre-party... The quickmatch online game mode will let players enter a queue to be matched with suitable opponents by M0on. This is a brand-new feature we've been dreaming of for a long time, and it will make the game even easier and smoother to play. We've also added a ranking system that will feature an official leaderboard! However, this is also quite a technical challenge, and we would love to test it with you in a small group before continuing to fine-tune it for the release. That's why we're inviting you all to a short event, which will be streamed on our Twitch channel: the Match Making Community Night. The concept is simple: we will…
- Balance update - 20 January 2024
Dear apprentice Ninzas, 2024 will be the year of Mo0n. The sky will be lunar, bathed in chaos and rains of bones from your crushed adversaries on the battlefield. But before the festivities reach their climax, let's start gently with a small balance update, warmly requested. Over the past weeks, we've gathered your feedback, conducted tests, and performed pagan rituals to implore the Mo0n to deliver its truths, all to result in a patch primarily dedicated to balancing. When tackling game balance, our intention is and will always be the same - to favor aggressive play. Ninza is a game we want to be dynamic, brutal, and competitive. For us, this means that players who take risks and initiatives should be rewarded. The corrections that have been implemented aim to bring us as close as possible to this intention, and we hope you'll enjoy discovering a revamped meta that now includes a great…

- New beta update: Jeanine joins the battle! - 24 November 2022
Dear apprentice Ninzas, We have good news and bad news... Indeed, it seems like the game has opened its battlefield to a very dark and mad creature which seems very enclined to annihilate our souls.
