"Road to Boruto" is set to be the final DLC for the fighting game "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4." The DLC was only set to launch as a digital download in North America, but Bandai Namco has now confirmed that a physical release is also due to come out.

A physical release was previously only set to roll out in Europe and Japan, while both regions and North America would all be getting a digital release. Japan is also getting a special edition which allows gamers to play "Road to Boruto" as a stand-alone game that can be played even without the base game.

The official website states that the physical release of "Road to Boruto" will also come with the base game and that it is currently priced at $49.99 for both the Xbox One and PS4. The digital release, which is just the DLC, will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC via Steam for $19.99.

In the announcement, Bandai Namco also confirms that the DLC will indeed feature the adult Naruto and Sasuke, complete with their own unique move sets and fighting styles.

"In addition to the new story mode, 'Road to Boruto' will also include new playable characters for both offline and online Free Battle Mode and new fighting styles for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in their Hokage Naruto and Adult Sasuke costumes," reads the announcement.

"Road to Boruto" is also going to be the final entry in the series as developer CyberConnect 2 will be moving on to work on games outside of the "Naruto" franchise. The DLC is a perfect finale as it covers the ending of the manga and anime as well as the "Boruto" epilog from the manga spin-off and "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" film.

"Road to Boruto" releases on Feb. 2, 2017 in Japan, and Feb. 3 in Europe and North America.

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
