'Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing' release date: Japan launch happening later this year; North America launch expected

Although the final "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm" has been released and all expansion packs have been made available, game publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment isn't done with Naruto games just yet.

A new game inspired by the anime has been announced, and it's called "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing." It isn't a game for consoles, but for mobile devices.

Bandai Namco is collaborating once more with "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm" developer CyberConnect2 and Japanese internet media company GREE.

"Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" will be turn-based game for iOS and Android devices. It will be released later this year in Japan.

There's no news about a launch in the west, although it is very likely for it to be released in the region anyway since an English trademark has already been filed earlier this year.

Details about "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" started last February, when the said trademarks were unearthed by fans of the Bandai Namco games. It was only this time that these leaks were made official.

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is the closing title in the popular "Ultimate Ninja Storm" fighting game series. It was released last February and boasted the largest roster in the history of the beloved franchise.

The game received three DLC packs, the last one having hit the shelves just earlier this month. It remains to be seen what "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" has in store for fans, although details should trickle in soon.

Rumor, however, has it that "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" will be heavy with the characters and settings from the latest happenings in the "Naruto" mythology and it won't be a surprise if Boruto is at the front line.

The first "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" artwork also teases that the various forms of favorite "Naruto" characters will be featured as well.
