This August has been a pretty big month for mobile games made based on popular anime series. Just last week we got the announcement of Attack On Titan Tactics as well as One Punch Man: Road to Hero. Now, a new game set in the Naruto universe titled Naruto X Boruto Ninja Tribes is joining the fray.
Made as a result of a partnership between developer Crunchyroll and publisher Bandai Namco, this is a team-based battle game in which players can form a team of 3 heroes to duke it out against one another across various iconic locations in the Naruto world. Check out its trailer below:
As you can probably tell from the title, Naruto X Boruto Ninja Tribes will feature characters from both Naruto and Boruto. Aside from the titular father-son duo, expect to be reunited with familiar faces such as Sasuke, Sakura, Sarada, and Mitsuki as well.
Not a lot of details about the gameplay is available just yet, but Crunchyroll has announced that it plans to show some footage at its own event in San Jose this Friday, so we will probably find out more then. From what we know so far, though, the game will include combination attacks that will be unique to each duo or trio, which is certainly an exciting prospect. We might get to see Naruto and Boruto join hands to unleash a giant Rasengan as in the anime, or the OG Team 7 trio teaming up for some awesome stuff. The possibilities are endless, but we’ll have to wait and see how many characters actually make it to the final game.
Naruto X Boruto Ninja Tribes will be available for both Android and iOS at launch, although no specific release date is confirmed at the moment. Of course, we will keep you updated as soon as there is more information, so don’t forget to stay tuned.
