Bandai Namco Entertainment and CyberConnect2 are going all out in this final Storm, giving us fans exactly what we want with characters from the end of the Naruto manga, The Last: Naruto the Movie, and Boruto: Naruto the Movie!
Lets start with the confirmation of the progenitor of chakra as a playable character, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who will be bringing in her abilities to open and travel through rifts in space! Joining her in the playable category is the son of our hero Naruto Uzumaki and his wife Hinata Hyuga, Boruto Uzumaki, who is a prodigy with exceptional skills as a shinobi. Not only that, but players will be able to wield the power of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno’s daughter, Sarada Uchiha!
On the costumes front, players will be able to play as Sixth Hokage Kakashi Hatake, which will be an alternate costume for the man once known as the Copy Ninja! As previously confirmed, both The Last: Naruto the Movie versions Naruto and Sasuke will be playable characters and The Last: Naruto the Movie versions of Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga will be available as alternate costumes.
From our understanding, the scan below mentions Boruto, Sarada, and The Last: Naruto the Movie versions of Naruto (playable), Sasuke (playable) Kakashi (costume), Sakura (costume), and Hinata (costume) will be obtainable to those who pick up the Day 1 Edition of the game. This is, of course, for the Japanese version of Naruto Storm 4. It’s unclear how Bandai Namco America and Europe will handle the distribution of these characters and costumes.
In addition to all the character excitement comes the official box art for the Japanese version of the game and it shows Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, and Madara will be gracing the cover. Music-wise, Japanese band KANA-BOON will be lending their talents to the opening theme of the game with a new song called Spiral. They are the same group behind Naruto Shippuden opening 16 (Silhouette) and the Boruto: Naruto the Movie theme song (Diver).
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the final game in the Storm series. It will feature the most realistic graphics ever seen in the Storm series with a 1080p resolution. The game is in development by CyberConnect2 and will be published by Bandai Namco Entertainment worldwide in the Fall of 2015 for the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One and PC/Steam.
