Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's Adventure, Online Modes Detailed

This year's 49th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump is revealing more details on the adventure and online mode of Bandai Namco Entertainment's upcoming Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 fighting game on Monday.

The game's adventure mode will allow players to freely explore Konoha and Suna villages and perform missions. Meeting characters will trigger events, and the mode will include multiple conversation scenes with other characters. The game's online mode will allow players to match up against each other, and will also have limited time events that every player can participate in.

The magazine also notes that the game's official website will announce a definitive date for the game's DLC on Monday.

Bandai Namco Entertainment previously streamed the game's third promotional video in September, which previews the game's characters, including Boruto and Sarada from Boruto -Naruto the Movie-.

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 Naruto and Sasuke as they appear in The Last -Naruto the Movie- as playable characters, as well as costumes for Hinata and Sakura.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is releasing the game in Japan on February 4, in Europe on February 5, and in North America on February 9.
