"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" PC, PS4 and Xbox One has been confirmed to be a continuation of its predecessor's, "Storm 3," story.
Lazy Gamer reported that most "Naruto" games have taken place from the "Shippuden" arc of the manga series. It includes the stories: the "Rescue Gaara," the "Tenchi Bridge mission," the "Akatsuki Suppression missions," the "Itachi Pursuit," the "fall of Jiraiya," the "battle of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha," "Pain's assault on Konoha," and the "Five Kage summit."
The biggest of all the arcs, "The Fourth Shinobi War," ran for over twenty volumes in the manga series or around 215 weekly chapters. According to CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama, it will form the core of "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
"So the story mode itself will be about ten hours or something, just like 'Storm 3,'" Matsuyama said at the recent Japan Expo in Paris.
Bandai Namco Entertainment producer Niho Nakagawa confirmed that the story of "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" PC, PS4 and Xbox One will be a continuation from the end of "Storm 3."
"But at the same time, we are considering how to recap any past story before 'Storm 3' of course, so we are trying to find out how we can do it," Nakagawa said. "[To] fast track the story for 'Storm 4,' so that people who play story mode can say 'Oh, OK, I remember this happening before.' That kind of stuff we are still considering right now, but we are not fixed in how we can express that yet."
Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Mother of All Chakra, has been officially confirmed as a playable character for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" PC, PS4 and Xbox One. According to iDigitalTimes, Kaguya's power is unrivaled and even surpasses that of Madara.
The Mother of All Chakra is capable of absorbing any technique she encounters. She is also believed to be immortal and able to quickly regenerate severed limbs. There are speculations that she will appear as the ultimate villain in a boss fight.
