Bandai Namco has released what is easily the most informative Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker trailer yet. The video goes over four-on-four multiplayer modes, co-op, side missions, and even the recently revealed character creation component. The latter seems to go reasonably deep.
Shinobi Striker doesn't have a confirmed release window yet, but we imagine it'll be leaping our way not too far into 2018. Has it grabbed your attention? Have you always wanted to play as your own custom ninja in a Naruto game? Show some real teamwork in the comments section below.

Its grabbed my attention. I absolutely have "Naruto fatigue", even if I generally like the series/brand (though this "Naruto-to-Boruto" bs needs to go, ugh. Just start making Boruto games, or just keep calling them Naruto - God, the actual title is clunky). I just think this game looks SUPER weird
It almost feels like the "Hero Shooter" of free-roaming fighters at this point. It has really big arenas; bigger, it looks like, than J-Stars Victory Vs or Anarchy Reigns. It has team FPS mode objectives like Control Points and Capture the Flag. And hero shooters pull character archetypes from fighting games more than, or at least as much as, they did from lane-pushers. This all looks radically different than the norm... but seems like something that should actually work, and Valhalla/Soleil's fighting engine should give a nice break from CC2's style of Naruto fighting after all these years, for sure. I'm kinda excited to see what the studio can do too, considering the Valhalla - and Tomonobu Itagaki - connection there. This is some of those people's first fighting game since, I dunno, DOA4?
I'm just curious about how it'll all turn out, honestly. I guess it might just turn out to be just the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse" of the Naruto series, but it honestly seems like it could be a big shakeup for fighting games.... even if the fact that its still a Naruto game prevents it from looking or feeling as fresh as the gameplay seems to be (despite the more manga-inspired vs. anime-inspired visuals). Kinda wish they opted for a new IP or a different anime license; I assume Spike is working on that Seven Deadly Sins fighting game, with CC2 busy working on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake atm, but it would've been neat if Bamco made this, say, a Hero Academia title instead of Naruto right now.
Noy a huge fan of the serious but there is some serious appeal to make my own character there.
Omg yes more please!
