In 2012, Marvelous Entertainment announced a sequel that would replace the female ninjas with male ninjas, titled "Kagura: Aoaki no Shonentachi", and that plans for the game had started before the first Senran Kagura, but that it was rejected because the producers thought "it needed breasts to sell". They stated that the staff had continued to make the game in secret.

It was later revealed that the game was an April Fools joke.
