In Battle mode, players can choose from the largest roster in a Naruto game, with more than 130 characters and 10 new ones available. They will be able to use various combos when facing their opponents and even change their leader to keep the pressure on their opponent. Ninjutsu and Awakening will play an important part as well. From this game, players are able to pick up to 6 Ninjutsu abilities to gain an advantage against their opponents. They can also awaken into a new form that will grant them more power to turn the tide in their favour.
To try and finish the battle, players can use all their chakra and unleash a powerful Secret Technique which, when selecting specific characters, can turn into a Combination Secret Technique. The simple control mode is another new feature that will help newcomers to the franchise unleash powerful combos by pressing a single button. This new control style comes in addition to the standard style players of the STORM series have always known.
By fighting either solo or online, characters will level up and unlock additional customisations as well as other unlockable items, such as Finish scenes. Offline Free Battles will let players choose the way they want to fight against a computer or play an offline tournament. Players can then hone their skills against others around the world in Online mode, choosing between Casual Match and Ranked Match.*
*The Online Custom Matchmaking will be available post-launch.
In the game’s History mode, players can relive epic story-based battles from the Naruto series, going over key moments from the story with anime cut scenes and high quality battle experience. In the Special Story mode, a whole new story takes place during the events of BORUTO where Boruto realizes a mysterious man, Merz, is trying to initiate the war.
What will be Naruto and Sasuke’s role? Players will have to find out when the game launches on 16 November 2023 for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™ and 17 November 2023 for PC via STEAM®.
