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.
Hands-on sessions at the Shueisha Games office ran on a build made for the booth. Denfaminicogamer described picking Jujutsu High as a battlefield, since the game carries maps drawn from locations in the original. The same build showed playable characters from TV anime season 3 onward, including Maki Zen'in and Kinji Hakari.
Build crafting crosses character lines. Treasure chests, level-ups, and shrines on the field hand out cursed techniques and innate techniques belonging to other fighters, so Yuji Itadori can pick up Choso's Piercing Blood or Toge Inumaki's Cursed Speech. GAME Watch saw three random candidates on each level-up, a max level of 4 per technique, and an Awakening upgrade past that.
Techniques strengthen to level 4 and then Awaken. Satoru Gojo's Blue pulls enemies in, Red repels them, and the two combine into Hollow Purple. His Unlimited Void runs for fewer turns than other special moves. Yuta Okkotsu appears with Rika beside him. Domain Expansion and Black Flash fill from the special move gauge and can catch nearby players, not just enemies.
