Game publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Mitsuki will be a playable character once the "Road to Boruto" expansion arrives in February next year. He will be joining Team Konohamaru, which also includes Boruto and Sarada.

The announcement said: "You requested him multiple times since we announced the Road to Boruto expansion for NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4! It's now official: Mitsuki will join Boruto & Sarada as a new playable character included in the expansion!"

It also added, "The "son" of Orochimaru shows great promise, and his talent in the Ninja Arts makes him a great addition to the Team Konohamaru!"

Mitsuki is also equipped with unique attack skills as well as the Ultimate Jutsu, similar to his father, that makes him a valuable team member. Boruto and Sarada were previously confirmed to arrive with the expansion pack, and their Ninjutsu arts and skills make them a team to be reckoned with. Boruto is also said to have new combo moves.

Yibada mentioned that the new storyline from the arc of Boruto and Sarada will be included. Additionally, Sasuke and Kinshiki's battle scene from the anime adaptation will also be incorporated.

Bandai Namco also added that a full edition of the game, with the upcoming DLC, will be available and will include the base game and all previously released DLCs. This edition will include 2 adventures mode scenarios, costumes, and the Sound Four Ninjas.

Additionally, the "Road to Boruto" expansion pack is not included with the Season Pass, and it needs to be purchased separately for $19.99.

Fans can expect more information within the next few months, where the studio will announce other new characters as well as their new accompanying skills.

The "Road to Boruto" DLC for "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will arrive on February 3, 2017 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox, One and Windows PC.
