Bandai Games Europe

Those who are fans of the Narutoverse and have been closely following the saga from the beginning will be thrilled to know that the Sasuke + Naruto combination jutsu just might make an appearance in "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4."

The upcoming Shippuden title is a VS fighting game with one-on-one and multiplayer modes that gamers can participate in, both online and offline. Other features which make it true to the story line are expected to make an appearance as well, such as the players doing runs and jumps across multiple terrains, and out-of-this-world moves for character abilities. 

The storyline for the fourth game installment is based on the Fourth Shinobi World war arc of the manga, leading to the final battle of a unified Shinobi Army against Madara Uchiha. This is also the arc where the NaruSasu combo first made an appearance, combining Naruto's Rasen Shuriken with Sasuke's improved Amaterasu. Other characters expected to make a playable appearance are Sakura and Hinata. 

As with other "Ultimate Ninja Storm" titles, the story mode fights are expected to be dynamic enough, and quick time events for parries and blocks will also be present in this latest title. Players can interact with environmental elements, such as using fallen boulders, weapons, and even character's clothes to counter attacks and gain the upper hand in battle. 

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is expected to be released this year although the exact date is yet to be announced. The latest title is developed by Cyberconnect 2 and will be available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
