Second Open Beta For Ninjala Announced, Slated For Last Weekend Of May

It was just last month that followers for Gungho Online Entertainment’s Ninjala would be experiencing the open beta to sample the game’s multiplayer prior to the full release later on. However, the game faced several issues attempting to just load into the main menu to customize a character as players were faced with connectivity issues not allowing users to play.

Following the beta atop of swelling issues that trail behind the ongoing virus pandemic, Gungho Online Entertainment told that Ninjala would be facing a delayed release as the launch date has been pushed to the end of June. With that, the developer would be given more time to properly finish up the last hiccups of the game and hopefully resolve the issue which really soured the entire beta experience for anticipated players.

Now in a new announcement, Gungho Online Entertainment announced that Ninjala will be expecting a second open beta at the end of May. Here are the time’s listed on the game’s website:

Simultaneously, Gungho Online Entertainment also disclosed a handful of new information on the approaching game’s in-game purchases elsewhere in the latest Developer Diary for Ninjala. Game Director Motoki Kaneda and Writer Kazuki Morishita explain that the in-game currency for the title is dubbed ‘Jala’. The digital capital can be used to purchase in-game items or cosmetics: both Kaneda and Morishita emphasize that there is no way for player to pay-to-win in Ninjala.

Atop of virtual items in-game up for sale, there is also the Ninjala Pass which runs for 950 jala that that can be purchased to unlock more rewards. Upon completing tiers, players can unlock more jala before the season ends. Players can earn enough to pay for the next Ninjala Pass both Kaneda and Morishita explain in the video. There is also the Ninjala Bundle which will boost players 25 tiers ahead for 2,800 jala or the option to pay for each tier running for 100 jala.

Moving onto the Gumball Machine, players can use jala to purchase new gum to use in game for 100 jala. Each gum holds its own personality and look that will also alter the appearance of your weapon when equipped. Ninja-Gum obtained is randomized which will be a gamble for players. Even more, the items are also consumable and will disappear once chewed.

The shared details happen to be dissected elements of the game unearthed from dataminers who dug through the first open beta’s source code last month. The dataminers also discovered themed items based on Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog series. You can read the full report by heading here.
