Today Bandai Namco released the first gameplay trailer of the upcoming online battle game Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker.

Alongside with the trailer the accompanying press release described the gameplay modes included in the game, which are the following.

  • Barrier Battle – The attacking team must unlock the Seal Pile on the map while the defending team attempts to stop them. Unlocking the seal will summon a boss character for the attacking team to defeat.
  • Flag Battle – Seize the flag from the enemy’s territory and bring it back to your team’s base.
  • Sub Mode “Mission” – Cooperate with friends to clear different mission objectives.

Developed by Soleil (a subsidiary of Tomonobu Itagaki’s Valhalla Game Studios), Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker comes with four vs four gameplay featuring eight ninjas in high-action battles.

Of course, it will include all the most familiar characters of the Naruto universe, including Naruto, Sasuke, Team 7 and many more.
