An insider in anime games has claimed that Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 5 is currently under development and may be unveiled later this year.
Although anime games have flourished over the last few years with releases like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything new from Naruto. Instead of a new game, Bandai Namco has instead supported Naruto for Boruto: Shinobi Striker with post-launch DLC since 2018.
However, it looks like that may change in the near future. YouTuber and anime gaming insider Senju in Japan uploaded a new video yesterday claiming that a new Naruto game was under development at Bandai Namco and that it is the next feature in the Storm series. He did not reveal too many details about the game, he just revealed that he has heard that it has been under development over the past year, that he knows a lot of details about what he will reveal in the future, and that it may. announced at the end of the year.
Senju in Japan also noted that while the Naruto game in development is the next game in the Storm series, it may not be called Ultimate Ninja Storm 5 and may instead be named after Boruto. Given how Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 ended, it’s supposed to focus on the ongoing Boruto anime and manga series that may take place after the Boruto DLC for Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, focusing on the next generation of Naruto characters.
Although Senju in Japan does not provide too many details about the next Naruto game, he has previously reported extensively on other anime fighting games, such as reporting on characters and features coming to Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles. Popular anime game reporter PS360HD2 was asked about the validity of the rumor and insider after the news was brought and said that Senju in Japan is “credible as it becomes. Believe me, it happens”.
