Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections releases trailer featuring new original story mode
On Saturday, July 1, 2023, Bandai Namco Entertainment released a new trailer for Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. The trailer featured the game’s story mode that introduced fans to two new original characters, Nananshi and Merz.
Nanashi was the guide character from the hit online game called Ninja Heroes. Meanwhile, Merz is an original character created for the game. He is hell-bent on war and wants to bring forth the Fifth Great Ninja War upon the world. While not a lot has been revealed about the character, it seems evident that he has the same principles as Akatsuki leader Pain had at one time.
In addition, the trailer shows a Mangekyo Sharingan appearing on the moon, meaning that someone might be attempting to do a large-scale jutsu. At the same time, the ninjas seem to have thrown themselves into battle.
While Boruto and his generation of shinobi prepare for war, Naruto and Sasuke seemingly clash again. However, it seems like someone has taken control of Naruto, forcing him to fight his friend.
Additional details about the game
Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will be released in 2023 and will be available to play in both English and Japanese audio. The game will be released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
In addition to the 124 characters that were included in the previous games, the latest installment is set to include two new playable shinobis, the sons of the Sage of the Six Paths, Ashura and Indra. In addition, the game will also include Naruto Uzumaki (Baryon Mode) and Sasuke Uchiha (Supporting Kage).
