Bandai Namco

After releasing "Naruto Shuppiden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" earlier this month, Bandai Namco has unveiled the details of the upcoming DLC for the new installment of the popular fighting game.

Saiyan Island enumerated the contents of the upcoming "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" DLC called "Shikamaru's Tale." It includes the three-hour Shikamaru's Tale Adventure Mode (The Fresh Green of the Hidden Leaf).

The upcoming DLC is also expected to come out with a new Seventh Hokage Naruto costume and four Ultimate Jutsu combinations, which include Hokages of the Past, Team Kurenai (Hinata/Kiba/Shino), Asuma/Shikamaru and Naruto/Boruto.

The report also mentioned that the DLC will have a new Ninja Treasure Set that contains items that can be traded in-game for costumes and other merchandise. It will also have 10 new Ninja Info Cards that can be used to represent players online, 10 new Matching Voices and 10 costumes from past games in the "Ninja Storm" franchise.

The official Twitter account of Naruto VideoGames revealed that the first DLC for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will drop in the market on March 15 with a $9.99 price tag. But those who purchased the $19.99 Season Pass can get the DLC earlier, since Bandai Namco will release it exclusively for them on March 8.

Another report from Saiyan Island revealed that the second DLC for the game will be called "Gaara's Tale." It will come with the new Wandering Shinobi Sasuke costume as well as three new Ultimate Jutsu combinations.

The third DLC will be a playable character pack that will introduce Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon, and Kidomaru in the game. It will also come with three new combination Ultimate Jutsu, among others. However, the game publisher has yet to announce the official release date for the two DLC packs for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4."
