Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Game's Team Awakening Feature Revealed

This year's 34th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will reveal the new "Team Awakening" feature in Bandai Namco Entertainment's upcoming Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (Naruto Shippūden Narutimate Storm 4) game on Saturday.

The game will allow players to trigger Awakening on their entire team at the same time. The magazine shows Naruto's Kurama form, Sasuke with Susanoo activated, and Sakura with Byakugō unleashed, showing them fighting together at the same time. The magazine notes that players can achieve Team Awakenings by filling up their Storm Gauge.

Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will feature the largest number of fighters in the series history. That roster includes characters from the fight between Hashirama and Madara, as well as characters from The Last -Naruto the Movie-. The game will also recreate the Shinobi World War.

Those who buy the game in Japan on its initial release (or pre-order the game in America and Europe) will receive Boruto and Sarada — the stars of Boruto -Naruto the Movie- — as playable characters. The initial release will also include The Sixth Hokage costume for Kakashi and The Last -Naruto the Movie- costumes for Sakura and Hinata.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam) in the West this fall. The Japanese release will also ship this fall, but no PC or Xbox One release has been confirmed for that region.
