'Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4' has been showcased at the 2015 MCM London Comic Con.
Geek Snack said the much awaited game was made available in its playable form during the event. Cross Map said Gamakichi was even shown in action during the event.
Aside from "Naruto Shippuden", Bandai Namco reportedly also showcased playable forms of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse", "Project Cars", "J-Stars Victory VS +", "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3", and "Tales of Zestiria."
In its previous reports, Geek Snack has revealed that Jinchuriki Obito has also been confirmed for the game. There were also screenshots of Zetsu-Tobi Obito.
We have earlier reported that a bigger line up is being eyed for the new game, with several news sites saying that it would have at least over 80 characters. According to Anime News Network, the new "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" game will have the "largest number of fighters in the series history." Some of the playable characters that have reportedly been included in the roster are Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke, Rin, and Jubi, also known as the giant villainous creature Ten-Tails.
According to Cross Map, team combination jutsus will be allowed in the upcoming game. Players would also be able to switch characters even during battles. There will also be sharing of life bars.
"Since some players will have a two person team and others a three man cell, we wanted to balance this by only having one life gauge between all characters. If you activate Awakening mode that stays active when you switch leader characters too. It's possible to have a Tailed Beast Ball combo attack where Shukaku attacks first then Kurama can come out right away," CyberConnect2 President and CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama was quoted in the report saying.
"We are going to have the game balanced for players even if they are fighting against someone with all Tailed Beast user three man cell. We are thinking about putting in a counterattack. The support gauge is used when you do a leader change so you cannot constantly switch characters, but you could have three Tailed Beast attacks in a row," he added.
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco. It is a direct sequel to "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3" but is the sixth of the series. Chris Gilbert, Bandai Namco Games America Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said that "The Ultimate Ninja Storm" series remains as one of their most popular franchises, with over 12 million sold worldwide. "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is expected to be available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this year.
