Following the recent release of the Boruto movie in Japan, which is a follow on to the hugely successful Naruto series, it turns out that the new characters featured in the movie will join in the fun on Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.
In a new trailer (shown below) we see both Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha (shown above) team up to take down various foes in the upcoming game, these being the children of both Naruto and Sasuke respectively.
These characters come from the new Boruto movie, which is an attempt by the Narutoseries’ creator Masashi Kishimoto to reinvigorate its narrative and keep new audiences interested.
As the Naruto manga finished in November of last year, Kishimoto is trying to show how a new generation of characters can carry on the legacy.
While a few have dismissed the name of the new character of Boruto as being a bit goofy, that is a pretty shallow appraisal.
As both narratively and in terms of its characterization the new movie definitely holds true to what made the Naruto franchise the global juggernaut it is today.
In regards to Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, while this will be the last Naruto game developed by CyberConnect2 they seem to be doing their utmost to make their last Naruto game one to remember.
Set for a release next February on PS4, Xbox One and PC the game is having a major graphical overhaul and is also branching out in terms of its core functionality.
In terms of the latter, this means that players will be able to switch team members out mid-combat. This is meant to help free up the game somewhat as well as increase the capacity for player tactics.
At the very least with the inclusion of characters from Boruto this new game will be nothing if not comprehensive.
