Its been a long time since Konoha's favorite ninja has made a big noise on consoles and PC, but at long last, Naruto is making a comeback. While no concrete release date is available yet for Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Bandai Namco says that it will be out in 2023 and preorders are now live at several major retailers.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections preorder bonuses

It's still early days, so no preorder bonuses are available currently for this refreshed collection of Naruto games. Previous games in the series offered exclusive playable characters and skins as preorder bonuses, while collector's editions included collectible figurines, steelbook cases, and artbooks as physical extras. Once those early bonuses have been announced, we'll update this guide with details on them.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections combines the classic Ultimate Ninja Storm games from previous console generations into one almighty package, remixing the games alongside brand-new content that chronicles what happened after the dust had settled from the cataclysmic Fourth Ninja World War.

In case you missed them over the years, these are arena-based fighting games in which you take control of Naruto, his allies, and many enemies. The four games adapted hundreds of chapters of the original manga and anime series, and under the direction of developer CyberConnect2, mixed impressive cel-shaded visuals with edge-of-your-seat quick-time events.

This collection will contain 124 playable characters from the original tetralogy, each with their own unique moves, as well as a few extra ninjas who'll appear in the new story content, Ashura Otsutsuki and Indra Otsutsuki. Bandai Namco says that the game combines and revises the selected scenes from the four Ultimate Ninja Storm titles and enhances the visual presentation, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions supporting 60 fps gameplay.
