VIZ Media Recap From New York Comic Con 2023
Naruto is a manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto and has been adapted into multiple anime. The story follows Naruto Uzumaki who seeks to be the greatest ninja around as well as the leader of his village.
VIZ Media announced new Naruto Shippuden-themed products, such as games, clothing, coloring books, and even hot sauce!
The 3D action fighter, NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS, launches on November 17th on PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. This will be the first time fans can play through the full Naruto story! Each STORM game in the past focused on one arc, but now players can play all of them in one – from the Chunin Exams to the final battle with Sasuke. With over 130 playable characters, including Indra and Ashura Otsutsuki, and Kara members Jigen, Delta, Boro, and Koji Kashin, this will be the largest roster ever for Naruto games. Its new simple control mode streamlines combos and attacks for newcomers and veterans alike. This way, users can perform combos and actions with one button. The special story mode has a game-exclusive story where Boruto meets a mysterious stranger in an online game and soon finds himself trying to prevent the Fifth Great Ninja War.
Naruto Shippuden Set 1 will be out October 17, 2023. Naruto returns to the Village Hidden in the Leaves a little bit older and a whole lot stronger!
