CookApps' roguelike bishoujo defense title, Nyangnyang Shinobi, is celebrating its 1.5-year global anniversary starting 12 November with the 'Moonlight Soiree' update and a slew of fresh content.

Since its global launch in May 2024, Nyangnyang Shinobi has reached this 1.5-year milestone following a 1st-anniversary offline event held in Akihabara last May. The anniversary festivities are being rolled out in two distinct phases.

Phase 1, kicking off on 12 November, introduces permanent availability for certain special characters alongside a new pickup event. Players can also look forward to the addition of 'Prism', a top-tier accessory.

The 'Seven Seals Battle Season 2: Mizuchi of the Sea of Trees' is now open. The developers have addressed the community's feedback regarding balance and gameplay friction from Season 1, while also revamping the scoring system for a fairer experience. The Season 1 boss, 'Humetsu of the Plague', is now permanently available, complete with its own dedicated shop where players can acquire items.

To sweeten the deal, there are attendance events offering a bounty of summon tickets, plus community events. The update also debuts 'Nene', a new special character sporting a ball-dance theme, and a fresh costume for 'Ryō Nakatsukami'.

Following this first wave, a follow-up version update is expected at the end of November, with Phase 2 arriving in early December. This roadmap promises further quality-of-life tweaks, more characters, and significant overhauls to existing content.

A spokesperson for CookApps noted, "This 1.5-year update is our way of saying thanks to the players who have enjoyed Nyangnyang Shinobi, packed with rewards and content," adding, "We hope you stay tuned for the second wave of updates."
