Nya Naruto-spel enligt uppgift planerade när franchisen närmar sig 25-årsjubileum

The Naruto franchise could be preparing for a major expansion in the gaming space. During its FY2025 financial results briefing, TV TOKYO Holdings revealed plans for new game projects as part of the celebrations surrounding Naruto’s upcoming 25th anniversary in 2027.

The announcement suggests that the iconic anime series is entering a new phase, with fresh content and partnerships already in development.

TV TOKYO Confirms New Naruto Projects

During a Q&A session following the financial presentation, TV TOKYO discussed the continued global popularity of the Naruto and Boruto franchises, particularly within the gaming sector.

The company stated that the 25th anniversary will not be treated as a final milestone, but rather as the beginning of a new era for the brand.

According to a translated statement, several projects are currently planned for 2027 and beyond, including:

• New animation content
• New games
• Collaborations with previously unannounced partners

While specific details remain under wraps, the confirmation strongly suggests that multiple Naruto gaming projects are already in the pipeline.

A Chance for Naruto to Make a Bigger Impact in Gaming

Over the years, Naruto has appeared in numerous mobile and console titles, including:

• Naruto Shippuden mobile games
• Naruto x Boruto: Ninja Voltage
• Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm mobile adaptations
• NARUTO KAGE

Despite the franchise’s enormous global popularity, none of these releases have achieved the kind of long-term worldwide success seen in some other major anime gaming properties.

For a series that is widely considered part of anime’s legendary "Big Three" alongside One Piece and BLEACH, many fans have long hoped for a larger and more ambitious gaming experience.

Expanding Beyond Anime

The financial briefing also highlighted TV TOKYO’s broader Content as a Service (CaaS) strategy.

The company aims to continue growing Naruto across multiple areas, including:

• Video games
• Merchandise
• Live events
• Theme parks
• Animation projects

This reflects a wider effort to transform Naruto into a multimedia entertainment brand rather than relying solely on anime and manga content.

Details Remain a Mystery

At the moment, no official information has been revealed regarding:

• Developers
• Platforms
• Genres
• Release windows
• Global launch plans

However, the use of the word "games" rather than a single title has fueled speculation that multiple projects could be announced over the coming years.

With Naruto’s 25th anniversary approaching and TV TOKYO openly discussing new partnerships and expansion plans, the franchise may be preparing for one of its biggest gaming pushes yet. Fans will now be watching closely for the first official reveals as 2027 draws nearer.
