Naruto Mobile to launch internationally in 2027

Naruto Mobile, a mobile game developed by MoreFun Studios and first released in China in 2016, is set to launch internationally in 2027 as part of a larger relaunch of the Naruto franchise. The game uses a 2D action format with a gacha system, where players collect and use characters in gameplay.

Game features detailed designs and unique scenarios

The game has been praised for its detailed character designs and complex animations, which have drawn comparisons to the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series. It includes characters from both the original Naruto series and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, with some appearing in unique scenarios, such as Sasuke playing basketball.

New Naruto projects announced at New York Comic-Con

The international release of Naruto Mobile coincides with a series of new Naruto projects revealed at the New York Comic-Con. These include the "Rasengan Project," a multi-year initiative running from 2027 to 2029, which aims to prepare for the 30th anniversary of the franchise.

New animated series, card game, and manga in the pipeline

As part of the "Rasengan Project," a new animated series will be developed in collaboration with the manga Ninku, which inspired Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto. Other projects include a collectible card game and a new manga titled Naruto: Shadow Rising, which will cover the time between the film Naruto: The Last and Naruto's coronation as Hokage, drawn by Kishimoto himself.

Bandai Namco to release game in 2027 but no exact date yet

Bandai Namco, the publisher responsible for distributing Naruto Mobile in Western markets, has not given a specific release date, only stating the game will be available somewhere in 2027. The company has not announced any new console games related to the franchise, though the follow-up to Boruto: Shinobi Striker remains available for multiplayer enthusiasts.
