A new trailer for Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker released at Gamescom 2017 revealed three new characters to choose from and a character creation mode that lets players become their own ninja. The Gamescom trailer for Shinobi Striker recaps many of the game modes that will bring the online co-op fighting game to life for the PS4, Xbox One and Steam and revealed Boruto, Shikamaru and Choji in-game.
Check out the Shinobi Striker Gamescom trailer below.
The character creation mode in Shinobi Striker is the big news from Gamescom 2017. It allows players to create their own unique ninja with the Avatar System. Players can customize different hairstyles, outfits and skills based on the game’s various fighting styles. Customized ninjas will be able to fight alongside major characters within the Naruto universe.
Players will have a whole suite of creation options to customize, complete with weapons from across the Naruto universe. The Gamescom 2017 trailer also teases that you can be mentored by other ninja to learn new techniques. This sounds very similar to the mentor system in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games.
The four fighting styles are Attack, Defense, Ranged and Healing.
Attack-style ninja have high strength, power and speed. Ranged-style ninja are masters of long-range jutsu including Fire-type and Lightning jutsu. Genjutsu are also used by the Ranged-style ninja. Defense-style ninja use defensive-type jutsu, which includes barriers and jutsu like the Shadow Imitation jutsu. Healing ninja use their jutsu to heal chakra and health. The Byakugan was used as an example of what these types of ninja can use.
Teams of four will go head-to-head online in different battle modes including capturing flags, breaking barriers and much more.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker will release for PS4, Xbox One and Steam in 2018.
