Press release:
February 25, 2025 – Nuevo Tokyo is about to get even louder. During IGN Fan Fest, Amber-owned studio Madbricks, in partnership with REDRUM, officially announced that Mexican Ninja will launch this year on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.

Fast, chaotic, and unapologetically full of attitude, Mexican Ninja is a 2.5D roguelike beat ’em up where players carve through the streets of Nuevo Tokyo – a fever-dream collision of Mexican grit and Japanese cyberpunk, ruled by the corrupt Narkuzas.

Tight combos, razor-sharp dodges, wild spirit powers, and signature Mexican Jutsus turn every run into a stylish rebellion.

The console announcement expands the uprising beyond PC, bringing the game’s precise combat, swagger-heavy progression, and irreverent tone to a wider audience in 2026.

“Mexican Ninja has always been about energy – the kind you feel in your hands when every dodge, combo, and parry clicks,” said Dario Hoyo, Creative Director at Madbricks.

“Bringing the game to consoles alongside PC in 2026 means more players can jump into Nuevo Tokyo at the same time and experience that rhythm. Whether you’re on keyboard or controller, it’s about flow, confidence, and fighting back con huevos.”

GAME FEATURES

2.5D Arcade Combat, Modern Precision: Fast, responsive beat ’em up action that rewards timing, positioning, and mastery.

Roguelike Progression: Randomized runs, evolving builds, and layered meta-upgrades that keep every attempt fresh.

Mexican Ninja will launch in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
