Below is a press release sent by both BANDAI NAMCO and Crunchyroll in regards to the new title:
Leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., today announced a brand-new team-based battle game NARUTO x BORUTO NINJA TRIBES. The game is playable across multiple platforms from smartphone and PC browsers to iOS and Android devices, and the browser version adds a unique IP experience, connecting the game with the original anime for NARUTO/BORUTO fans through BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment’s joint promotion with Crunchyroll Games, the interactive division from the world’s most popular anime destination.
Set in the universe of the iconic NARUTO and BORUTO anime series, NARUTO x BORUTO NINJA TRIBES brings together fan-favorite characters spanning multiple generations of NARUTO lore, including Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura of the original Team 7 as well as BORUTO counterparts Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki for one-tap team-based battles. In combat, players will be able to show the strength of shinobi bonds with overwhelming duo and trio attacks unique to each character combination from the new Team 7 teamwork and father-and-son Rasengan with the Seventh Hokage Naruto and Boruto, all rendered in high-quality 2D visuals that evoke the same sense of speed and impact originally envisioned by the anime series. Aspiring shinobi can get a sneak preview of the game’s first mission with a playable demo of the game, which will be available to the public at a special booth at this weekend’s Crunchyroll Expo, Crunchyroll’s owned anime convention, held in San Jose, California from August 30 to September 1.
