BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. announces that NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER will go on sale in the Americas on August 31, 2018; the game will be available on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC via STEAM®. The company has also revealed new characters, features and Season Pass DLC for the action-packed 4 vs. 4 multiplayer online brawler.
Two fan-favorite characters are officially joining the fray: Gaara, the 5th Kazekage, and Deidara, the artist of the Akatsuki. Gaara, a defense type, uses his Grand Sand Mausoleum attack to restrict opponents for a limited time, creating openings for his teammates. Deidara, a ranged type, uses his signature Explosive Style ninjutsu to turn his clay clones into deadly ticking time bombs. In addition to using Gaara, Deidara and other iconic characters from the series, players will also be able to personalize their own avatar with different costumes, weapons and accessories.
BARRIER BATTLES: Ninjas can prove their strategic mettle by simultaneously fighting for control of 3 “barrier areas.” Each level has unique terrain that players can use to their advantage, such as staging surprise attacks off of the buildings in the Hidden Rain Village. The team that controls the most areas at the end of the match wins.
