New Naruto game teased under Project Rasengan at New York Comic Con 2026

Shueisha and Bandai Namco teased a new Naruto game under the Project Rasengan banner at New York Comic Con 2026, though they did not reveal a title or major details. The tease was shown as part of a broader roadmap outlining several upcoming projects for the Naruto intellectual property.

Project Rasengan was presented as a long-term strategy to expand the Naruto franchise across multiple media forms. The companies confirmed several projects including a new trading card game, a Naruto and Ninku crossover anime, and a brand-new Naruto manga by the original creator Masashi Kishimoto. Presentation material also included video game footage from the Naruto Storm series and offered subtle hints about future console titles.

During the presentation, organisers displayed footage drawn from the Naruto Storm games while indicating plans for future console and PC projects. The coverage did not include a formal game announcement or a release window for any new title. The article noted that Project Rasengan appears to tease what could become a future console and PC title.

The report pointed to the franchise’s previous commercial success in games, citing that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 sold over 15 million copies. It also stated that the most recent release, Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, “didn’t have as smooth a reception as many fans were hoping for.” The piece said fans are looking for a more ambitious follow-up.

A social media post accompanying the Project Rasengan reveal set out the initiative’s broad scope, with the tweet reading: "Spin the next chapter of NARUTO.Manga, anime, game, card game…A new era of NARUTO begins, bringing it all together.PROJECT RASENGAN🌀 Official Webpagehttps://t.co/TArTpBRHWb#PROJECT_RASENGAN #NARUTO pic.twitter.com/k6iYmcbuUB". The project was described in the coverage as a multi-year initiative covering games, manga, anime and trading cards.

The article listed platforms fans mentioned in response to the tease, saying supporters hope new Naruto games will be developed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC. No release platforms were confirmed by Shueisha or Bandai Namco in the New York Comic Con presentation. The report advised readers that a fuller reveal would be needed to confirm formats and release plans.

Fans were directed to the official Naruto website for more information about Project Rasengan. The coverage also noted that updates would be posted as the companies disclose further details about individual projects.
