More details about "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" were dropped during the Japan Expo. In an interview with J-Patrol, Hiroshi Matsuyama, the president of game studio CyberConnect 2, revealed that the game's story mode will be 10 hours long. 

In the same interview, he also said that more than the single player campaign, players will see new features and modes that Matsuyama wasn't ready to unveil yet. In addition, he detailed that Boruto and Sarada will be pre-order exclusives only. 

The CyberConnect 2 head also said that the TAG system will be available in both the story mode and online battles, but its availability on the former depends on the situation in the story. He also confirmed that the Awakening and secret techniques can be used by all characters.

Matsuyama, who dressed up as Naruto during the event, was joined by Bandai Namco Entertainment producer Miho Nakagawa during the interview. They revealed which features will be available all across the game modes in and which one will be unique to a certain mode. 

Meanwhile, there will be plenty of boss battles to get busy with, one of which involves Kaguya. Thanks to Shonen Jump Magazine, there are new details about this epic skirmish. 

According to the magazine, Kaguya will be extra difficult to defeat in the game because of all the special abilities she was given to use on her opponents. Naruto and Sasuke will have to team up to beat the villain. Kaguya will also be a playable character in the game. Shonen Jump Magazine notes that players fighting as Kaguya will be able to change dimension with her Jutsu. 

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC in fall.
