Shueisha Games will release Jujutsu Kaisen RUMBLE: SURVIVATON in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a price still to be determined. The publisher and developer poncle, the team behind Vampire Survivors, showed the game to press ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. The build is planned for the Shueisha Games booth there. Matches take up to eight players, who control Jujutsu Kaisen characters, defeat waves of cursed spirits in a 15-minute time limit, and collect points. Cursed techniques fire automatically while movement stays manual. Points buy rule changes or interference against rivals, an idea drawn from the Culling Game arc. After 15 minutes the top two scorers enter a one-on-one final duel, where the special move gauge turns into a guard gauge. The full roster is planned to have more than 20 characters; the playtest offered nine, among them Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Satoru Gojo, Maki Zen'in, Yuta Okkotsu, Choso, Toge Inumaki, Kinji Hakari, and Kenjaku.

Shueisha Games said on September 15, 2026 that Jujutsu Kaisen RUMBLE: SURVIVATON has moved from a 2026 release window to 2027. The stated reason is to deliver the game in a better form. A specific date will be announced later. The survivors battle royale is developed by poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, and is set for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, with one to eight players and an online mode for up to eight. A second trailer is out. It shows the Co-op Build system, in which level-ups let a player fold another character's normal techniques into their own attack build, and pixel art for eight bosses, among them Naoya Zenin, Kenjaku, Junpei Yoshino, Jogo, Mahito, Uraume, Eso, and Toji Fushiguro. The same eight bosses appear in the playable demo. Price and rating are undecided.

Shueisha Games announced on September 8 its Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth lineup, with two playable titles at booth 05-C10 in Hall 5 of Makuhari Messe. Jujutsu Kaisen RUMBLE: SURVIVATON, developed by poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, gets a world-first playtest. The mode is an online battle royale for up to eight players, who compete for points before the top two face off in a one-on-one duel for the win. The booth will carry live commentary from e-sports casters on its screens. UN:Me, developed by Historia, gets a Japan-first demo. The game is a soul triage adventure in which a girl hosts four souls and dialogue scenes search for the true owner of her body. The demo adds motion capture, which noticeably improves the girl's movement and expressions in conversation, and lets players meet three of the four souls before a major decision. A hands-on area called the Anxiety Corridor lets visitors explore a dim corridor meant to evoke the work's mental labyrinth. Novelties include poncle-designed pixel stickers, an uchiwa with MAPPA-drawn Yuji Itadori art, trauma face stickers, and a trauma instant cooling pack. Tokyo Game Show 2026 runs September 17 to 21, with public days from September 19.
Jun 9
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.
