Ninja is quite easily one of the most popular video game streamers in the entire world, if not the most popular streamer. Ninja shocked everyone when he left Twitch to stream exclusively for Microsoft's Mixer service, but then Mixer folded and Ninja has since been stuck in limbo. Now Ninja has finally made his return to Twitch, having streamed earlier this morning with DrLupo and playing some of the world's top battle royale games.
Ninja streamed with frequent collaborator DrLupo, with the duo playing both Fortnite as well as the new Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 update. In future, fans can expect Ninja to continue streaming the world's top battle royale games, along with other titles.
Ever since Mixer shut down, it was unclear where Ninja would start streaming next. Ninja first returned to game streaming with a YouTube livestream, but this is his first Twitch stream since he left the platform in August of 2019. It's possible that Ninja will stream on multiple platforms, but it's also possible that he will be streaming exclusively on Twitch from now on. In any case, Ninja fans may just be happy that they can watch him stream games at all.
Ninja's absence from Twitch doesn't seem to have had a big impact on his brand. In fact, Ninja recently revealed a new Adidas shoe based on his brand, and he continues to be the subject of fan art and creations. Recently, this included a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate mod that added Ninja to the ambitious crossover fighting game as a playable character.
Meanwhile, Ninja may end up appearing in a lot more than just his video game streams. The world-famous streamer has recently revealed his plans to break into Hollywood, expressing an interest in things like voice acting and being featured in films. As it so happens, Ninja has already been featured in a blockbuster film, as he makes an appearance in the Ryan Reynolds video game comedy movie Free Guy, currently set to premiere on December 11. The movie was originally going to be released last month, but its release date was pushed back due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Regardless of whether or not Ninja is back on Twitch permanently, it's safe to say that he will remain a constant presence in the entertainment space for some time to come. So not only can fans expect to see Ninja in his video game streams, but they can also expect to see him in movies, TV, and elsewhere.
