"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will reportedly be launched by fall of this year for PlayStation 4 in Japan as announced by the latest issue of Jump magazine.
Twitter user @Kazu4281 uploaded an image of this year's 19th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Although the magazine does not state a specific date, it did confirm that the game is going to be released this fall. The picture showed Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura using their respective Summoning Techniques, also known as Kuchiyose no Jutsu, in their fight against Ten-Tails.
The game will have the largest and most impressive character roster ever. It will have 80 playable and 7 supporting characters including recent characters who appeared in the manga as well as those featured in the movie. The game is also said to recreate the Shinobi World War. Moreover, the Wire-Fru technique, or team combination jutsu, can be used for popular characters in the game.
Players will also be able to change their controlled character in the battle. This added feature has just been announced recently and will make choosing the right supporting characters very important. Hanabi Hyuga was also recently confirmed as a playable character and can purportedly perform a powerful combination jutsu with Hiashi, Hinata and Neji.
"The scan also revealed that the game will climax with a battle of the summons, as Naruto, Sakura and Sasuske call forth their biggest guns in the battle with Madara and the Ten-Tails. That means that Gamakichi, Katsuya and Aoda will all be making proper in-game debuts," LazyGamer reported.
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will also be available in North America and Europe. It will be published for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Although no official release date has been announced, the game will most likely be released in these continents during the same period.
