Those excited for Ninjala will have to wait just a little while longer to experience the game. The upcoming free-to-play Nintendo Switch title won't be able to make its planned release date, as the development schedule has been impacted by COVID-19. While Ninjala's release might have been pushed back, the delay is a short one, taking the original launch of May 28th and moving it to June 25th. If you haven't yet heard of Ninjala, it's an online competitive battle royale game that pits players against each other as different types of ninja that use bubble gum to fight with.

GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director, President and CEO: Kazuki Morishita, hereinafter GungHo) is announcing that the release date of the battle ninja gum action game “Ninjala” for the Nintendo Switch™ will be postponed from May 28, 2020 to June 25, 2020* due to the influence of COVID-19. “Ninjala” is a battle ninja gum action game where players can enjoy free-roaming 3D action battles in stages that allow for movement in all directions, whether running along walls or fighting in mid-air. Using height differences to their full advantage, players engage in fierce battles using various weapons and powerful ninjutsu techniques. We are sorry for worrying everyone who look forward to releasing of this title. We continuously prevent the spread of COVID-19 and develop this game.

This game is free to play, and I still want to pirate it. There's literally no reason to delay a digital-only game.

Because it's not finished yet.
It can't be finished on time because the devs need to stay the hell home, making coordinated development harder.

Won't make it next month either. Everywhere except China is still on lockdown with no end in sight.
