Reporting from 8 sources: Anime News Network, 4Gamer.net, GAME Watch (Impress), ASCII.jp, and 4 more.
Shueisha Games announced Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton during the June 9 Nintendo Direct livestream. The game is developed by poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, and combines the survival action genre with battle royale elements. It supports up to eight players online or solo play against CPU opponents. Players control over 20 characters from the series, including Yuji Itadori and Satoru Gojo, who use signature abilities and Domain Expansions. Matches begin with a 15-minute phase where players fight cursed spirits in separate fields to earn points, then the top two players face off directly. Every 100 points earned allows a "Rule Addition" that can interfere with other players, such as disabling attacks or reversing movement controls. Attacks are automatic; movement is the only manual input. Leveling up grants random skill upgrades. The game is scheduled for release in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Shueisha Games revealed Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton during the Nintendo Direct 2026.6.9 broadcast on June 9. The project marks poncle's first collaboration with an outside IP; the developer is best known for Vampire Survivors, a game that popularized the auto-attack survival genre. The new title blends that formula with a battle royale structure: for the first 15 minutes, players are isolated in their own arenas killing cursed spirits for points, then the two highest-scoring players enter a direct duel. A "Rule Addition" system lets players spend 100 points to impose debuffs on rivals, such as temporarily disabling their attacks or reversing their controls. The roster includes over 20 characters from the Jujutsu Kaisen series, each with unique skills and play styles; new characters unlock through gameplay conditions. The game also features powerful boss enemies that can appear mid-match. Platforms listed in the announcement include Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with a 2026 release window.
