Ninja is hosting a New Year’s Eve special alongside guests like SypherPK and DrLupo

Ninja‘s New Year’s Eve celebration will feature pizza, video games, and some special guests. The star streamer, whose real name is Tyler Blevins, will host a multi-platform end-of-year spectacular called Ninja’s NYE.

Blevins will kick off his New Year’s Eve spectacular at 6 PM Central Time on December 31st. He will count down to midnight with six hours of games, branded segments, and conversations with guests. Domino’s Pizza, the event’s title sponsor, will back Blevins as he plays party games and entertains fans on stream. State Farm will also sponsor a segment during the third hour of the broadcast.

The man known as Ninja will not ring in the new year on his own. The streamers on his guest list include TimTheTatman, SypherPK, DrLupo, BasicallyIDoWrk, and LEGIQN, all of whom broadcast to large audiences on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.

“I’m incredibly hyped to bring my NYE party to your house,” Blevins said in a statement. “I’m super excited to ring in the New Year alongside my best friends in the community. We have had such an incredible year at Team Ninja that this is the perfect way to bring in 2024. Looking forward to seeing all of my fans and making it a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone tuning in.”

Team Ninja’s incredible year included several partnerships with the esports organization GameSquare, which made headlines of its own by acquiring FaZe Clan in October. Blevins is currently on board as the Chief Innovation Officer at GameSquare. In that role, he is overseeing the Ninja Labs venture, which is developing products aimed at gamers.

As he expands his presence behind the scenes, Blevins continues to draw strong traffic on his streams. A year after he announced that he would make his content available “everywhere,” the Michigan-born streamer is living up to that ambitious distribution plan. Ninja’s NYE will go live across TwitchYouTube, and TikTok.

This will not be Blevins’ first attempt at a New Year’s Eve spectacular. As 2018 turned into 2019, he hosted a marathon Fortnite session live from Times Square. A year later, he poked fun at the cringey dance he performed live on air. His 2023-into-2024 celebration seems as if it will be much more coordinated. More information about the event can be found on its official website.
