Naruto, as a franchise, has been one of the most iconic stories to come out of anime since Dragon Ball! Beginning as a manga, the franchise has reached new heights by releasing two successful anime, multiple films, and hordes of video games.
Originally, Bandai Namco Entertainment introduced video game fans to the character with the 3v3 arena fighter Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. Following three sequels since the first game, it has been praised as one of if not the best games in that genre.
In following the footsteps of games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse, a new type of Naruto game was released in 2018 titled Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. In the game, players can create their own characters and compete with other players in team-based battles and exercises. There is also an option to play as characters from the series, which is always being added to.
Recently, the magazine that publishes the Boruto manga, Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, announced that a new character would be coming in the form of Kakashi! While no gameplay footage has been shown yet, there is no doubt the fan-favorite character will deliver on action and skill. Make sure to share your thoughts on the news in the comments below!
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a high-speed four vs. four multiplayer title that encourages cooperative play through the use of character-specific roles. Characters are split up into four roles: Attack, Ranged, Defense, and Heal. Teams that utilize these four types of characters will be formidable opponents on the battlefield.
Kakashi will be available in the third season pass of Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker soon!
