Vampire Survivors<\/a> developer Poncle is mixing its laidback shoot-’em-up gameplay with one of the most popular anime out there for a new game called Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The unexpected collaboration made its debut at today’s Nintendo Direct<\/a>. With the original Vampire Survivors and this year’s Vampire Crawlers<\/a> now under its belt, Poncle is looking to Yuji Itadori to help fight off a never-ending army of cursed spirits.<\/p>\n

The first trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton should absolutely look familiar to fans of the studio’s previous work. Instead of classic ghouls and ghosts, it gets a Jujutsu Kaisen facelift while still retaining that pixelated style and one-more-run gameplay that helped Vampire Survivors become so popular<\/a>. It’s a multiplayer anime spin on a tried-and-true formula, and you can see its Nintendo Direct reveal trailer below.<\/p>\n

“Players battle wave after wave of cursed spirits while competing against up to seven rivals in fast-paced online multiplayer matches,” an official description for Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton said. “Choose from 20+ playable characters from the Jujutsu Kaisen universe and use simple movement-based controls with automatic attacks, where success depends on strategic positioning and timing. Players earn points by defeating enemies, unlock game-changing ‘Rule Additions’ every 100 points, and compete for the top spot in dynamic rankings.<\/p>\n

“The experience culminates in a final duel between the top two players. JUJUTSU KAISEN RUMBLE: SURVIVATON readies for battle on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.”<\/p>\n

With more than 20 playable characters from across the Jujutsu Kaisen universe to play as, we can almost certainly expect to see loads of fan-favorite names. The trailer teased more than a few, too, including Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, Toge Inumaki, Kento Nanami, Yuta Okkotsu, and, of course, Satoru Gojo.<\/p>\n

Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton\"\"<\/p>\n

TBD on how robust the single-player offerings in Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton are, but its trailer at least confirmed that there is an offline mode with computer-controlled opponents. Its price and release date have not been revealed outside of Poncle’s promise to launch before the year is out.<\/p>\n

In addition to Nintendo Switch 2, Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton is set to come to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Whenever it does release, it should help with the wait for The Culling Game Part 2 after the Jujutsu Kaisen anime left fans waiting for more with the end of Season 3 earlier this year<\/a>. For all of the biggest reveals shown during today’s showcase, you can see everything announced at the Nintendo Direct for June 2026 right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
