Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Game Features Kaguya, Boruto, Sarada, Kana-Boon

This year's 31st issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that the Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (Naruto Shippūden Narutimate Storm 4) game will feature Kaguya Ōtsutsuki — the first user of chakra — as a playable character. The issue is also announcing that those who buy the game on its initial release will receive Boruto and Sarada — the stars of Boruto -Naruto the Movie- — as playable characters. The initial release will also include The Sixth Hokage costume for Kakashi and The Last -Naruto the Movie- costumes for Sakura and Hinata.

The rock band KANA-BOON wrote a song, "Spiral," specifically to be the opening theme of the game. The band has already contributed theme songs to the Naruto Shippūden television anime and Boruto -Naruto the Movie-.

Naruto Shippūden Narutimate Storm 4 will feature the largest number of fighters in the series history. That roster includes characters from the fight between Hashirama and Madara, as well as characters from The Last -Naruto the Movie-. The game will also recreate the Shinobi World War.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam) in the West this fall. The Japanese release will also ship this fall, but no PC or Xbox One release has been confirmed for that region.
