Marvelous and its subsidiary Honey∞Parade Games announced the title and a promotional video for their previously revealed new Senran Kagura smartphone game on Friday. The game is titled Shinobi Nexus: Senran Kagura and is scheduled to launch this year for iOS, Android, and PC via DMM Games. Pre-registration is currently open for DMM Games and the App Store, with Google Play registration expected in the coming days. The game is described as a "hyper shinobi battle" title featuring character designs by Nan Yaegashi. It will be free to play with optional paid in-game items. The story is set three years after the events of the previous mobile game, Shinobi Master Senran Kagura New Link, and introduces a new cast of shinobi girls at a new school. Shinobi Master Senran Kagura New Link launched in November 2017 and ended service in May 2025, transitioning to an offline version. Marvelous established Honey∞Parade Games in May 2017 to focus on the Senran Kagura series. The latest console entry in the franchise is the crossover with Compile Heart's Hyperdimension Neptunia, titled Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, which launched in October 2021 for PlayStation 4, followed by Switch and PC releases in 2022.
The announcement came through a video released on the game's official X/Twitter account, which showcased the new cast and setting. The game's title, Shinobi Nexus: Senran Kagura, was revealed alongside the footage, confirming the project that was previously teased without a name.
Nan Yaegashi, who has worked on character designs for the series, returns for this entry. The free-to-play model with optional purchases follows the pattern set by New Link, which ran for nearly eight years before its service ended in May 2025 and transitioned to an offline version.
Honey∞Parade Games was established by Marvelous in May 2017 specifically to handle the Senran Kagura franchise, and this new title continues that focus. The most recent console release in the series was the crossover with Compile Heart's Hyperdimension Neptunia, Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, which launched on PlayStation 4 in October 2021, then on Nintendo Switch in April 2022, and on PC via Steam in May 2022.
