Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade releases for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC via Steam in 2027
City Connection and Clear River Games have revealed Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade at the 2026 Pixel Arcadia showcase. This game will be available for Sony PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam worldwide in 2027.
Ninja JaJaMaru has been known as one of the classic Japanese franchises originally made by Jaleco and Tose in 1985. City Connection had earlier released Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell in 2022, which stayed closer to the franchise's well-known 8-bit 2D platformer gameplay.
This new game will retain the 8-bit-esque character sprites, but it will now be played in 3D isometric maps with hack-and-slash actions and loot-based action RPG elements with "over 300 types of equipment to collect".
You can find the official trailer, descriptions, and screenshots for Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade right below. This game will be available in Japanese and English.
