The game will not be complete without some of the beloved "Naruto" characters and teams, which include Naruto, Sasuke and Team 7. Kakashi also appears to be included.

Bandai Namco also promises "dynamic third-person ninja gameplay" in "Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker" that allows players to "take advantage of the arena environment verticality by jumping and running onto the wall and maps.

The new "Naruto" game also features "a new graphic style with more vivid colors for characters, maps, and ninjutsu." Looking at the trailer, the visuals do seem very different from "Naruto: Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm" games.

Some fans appear to be turned off by how "Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker" looks compared with the CyberConnect2 games although it seems that Soleil found this art style best for a game like this.
