The roguelike beat-em-up game Mexican Ninja will launch on Aug. 20, 2026 [1], across PC and major gaming consoles.

The release marks a significant multi-platform push for indie developer Madbricks and publisher Amber Studio. By targeting both current-generation and previous-generation hardware, the developers are maximizing the potential player base for the title.

An official launch trailer showcases the game's setting in Nuevo Tokyo, a stylized urban environment. The gameplay is described as a 2.5D experience that blends beat-em-up combat with roguelike elements. Players will engage in combat using combos, and face off against various bosses throughout the campaign.

One primary antagonist group featured in the trailer is the Narkuzas enemy faction. The combat system emphasizes fast-paced action as players navigate the dangers of Nuevo Tokyo.

The game will be available on PC via Steam [2]. It is also confirmed for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One [2]. This broad availability ensures that the title reaches users across the three primary gaming ecosystems.

Madbricks and Amber Studio used the trailer to promote the final polish of the game ahead of the release this Thursday. The footage highlights the visual style of the 2.5D world, and the variety of enemies players will encounter during their runs.

The decision to launch on both current-gen and last-gen consoles suggests a strategy to capture a wider market of casual and hardcore gamers. By combining the roguelike genre—which encourages repeated play—with a beat-em-up structure, the developers are targeting a niche of players who value high difficulty and mechanical mastery.
