The world of ninjas is about to experience a breathtaking new chapter with the upcoming release of NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS! Bandai Namco Europe has announced that the game will be available from November 17, 2023. Fans can find their heroes on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch, while the PC version via Steam will arrive a little later, at a date as yet unspecified.
From the very first minutes of play, immersion promises to be total. Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS offers a deep dive into the world of Naruto and Sasuke, featuring the most emblematic battles of the Naruto series. But that's not all: a new narrative arc centered on Boruto has been specially designed for this game. As for handling, it remains faithful to what the Ultimate Ninja STORM series has accustomed us to, while offering a panel of over 130 playable characters. Three newcomers, Boro, Delta and Koji Kashin - members of Kara's enigmatic organization - join the adventure, promising new anthology confrontations.
But Bandai Namco hasn't stopped there. For the first time in the history of Naruto games, Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS will feature dubbing in French and German with the official voices of the anime, delighting purists and die-hard fans alike. Available for pre-order from August 21, 2023, the game is available in several editions: Standard, Deluxe, Ultimate, Collector and the highly sought-after Collector Premium - exclusively available from Bandai Namco's official store. Each of these editions offers exclusive content, from commemorative outfits for Naruto and Sasuke, to exclusive figurines and collectible cards. The icing on the cake for those who have already got their hands on NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER, exclusive content such as the Nanashi T-shirt and Merz outfit await you.
Our verdict :
We were able to test this game's combat mode at Paris Games Week 2023. This title offers a highly entertaining experience for fans of the saga: you'll find the main characters from the manga, as well as some iconic locations that serve as arenas for your anthology battles.
The combat mode is a classic of the genre: normal moves, special attacks, and the ability to switch characters during the game to save life and spice up combat.
We really appreciated the team customization: you can choose three characters, as well as costumes, accessories and special attacks for your team members. This last element adds a bit of surprise to the battles, which can change significantly depending on your opponent and his choices.
We're waiting to see the story mode before we can form a full opinion of this title. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of the Naruto universe, this game should please you!
All that's left is to wait a few weeks to experience this new opus, which is sure to delight fans of the franchise and newcomers alike. So get ready!
