With the Naruto manga finally coming to an end just a short while ago, it was only a matter of time before the next instalment in the Ultimate Ninja series was announced. The fighting game franchise has had a great run in recent years, providing one fantastic anime brawler after another.
The newest entry into the series will be dubbed Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, and it'll be making the next-gen leap to PlayStation 4. In fact, it doesn't look like the game will be settling for its traditional PS3 stomping ground at all, so all of you kunai enthusiasts better be geared up with the latest hardware.
Publisher Bandai Namco has been quick to emphasise what Sony's latest console brings to the table, too, promising graphics that "go beyond anime-quality". Given that the franchise already looks rather brilliant on the ageing PS3, we can't wait to see what developer CyberConnect2 can do with the PS4's power.
At the moment, the title's got a vague 2015 release date in the West, so with any luck, we'll hear more soon. Are your dreams of seeing Naruto's colourful world brought to life on the PS4 coming true? Tell us how many hours you've spent reading the manga in the comments section below.

The Ninja Storm games already look amazing at times on the PS3, so this is a dream come true as far as graphics go.
Thank you for the news. I can't wait to see how it looks. Last gen still looks incredible so I can only imagine.
Oh come on I like playing it on PS3 but it should still get a PC release so I'm good.

@Jazzer94 From what i heard it is still coming out for PC and Xbox One so its not an Exclusive.
@Jazzer94 @Alpha It is, yeah. It's PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
I haven't seen an episode of Naruto since he and Sasuke started their fight at the end of the original series. That was a long time ago, so yes I am way out of the loop with the series today and my lack of interest in anime these days kinda kept me from trying to catch up.
But I will say that I've been interested in these games. They look really fun, and I've played demos of Storm 2 and Revolution, and enjoyed them. The graphics also look really good, like an actual episode from the show good. So yes, I'm willing to have absolutely no idea what's happened in the story and be totally lost just so I can give this a try.
@DerMeister the manga has already finished so if you want to catch up, that said the anime is still going and i would be surprised if they kept it going as long as possible with fillers.
@Alpha you know if you hadn't done that I would have
@FullbringIchigo xD ahahaha thats great!
Never played a Naruto fighting game. This might be the one!
@SuperSilverback I personally enjoyed Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 more than any of the Storm series, though revolution seemed to bring it to par. If they improve on this one, it might be the first one I buy at launch.
@Alpha
I'm getting the sense that you are somewhat excited about this
I'm on season 3 and this trailer was a spoiler
