Naruto Storm 5 Leak: Will It Follow Boruto's Path?
The Buzz Around Naruto Storm 5
The Naruto gaming community is ablaze with rumors of a new Ultimate Ninja Storm 5 title in development. After the success of previous entries, especially with Storm 4 wrapping up Naruto’s journey, fans are wondering — is Boruto finally stepping into the spotlight?
While Bandai Namco hasn’t made any official announcement, credible leakers and insiders hint that Storm 5 is not only real but also closer than expected. And if leaks are accurate, Boruto Uzumaki could be the new face of the franchise.
What We Know About Storm 5 So Far (Leaked Info)
- 🎮 Leaked Dev Builds: Insiders claim early dev builds are being tested internally, with an upgraded engine for next-gen consoles.
- 🌀 Gameplay Mechanics: Rumors suggest deeper jutsu customizations and enhanced tag-team combat similar to Storm Revolution but refined.
- 👥 Character Roster: Expect returning legends like Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, but the spotlight might shift to Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki, and even Kawaki.
- 🌐 Online Focus: There’s talk of expanded online modes, ranked tournaments, and global player hubs.
⚠️ Note: These are leaks and not officially confirmed by Bandai Namco.
Will Boruto Be the Main Focus?
The big question: Is Naruto taking a backseat?
Leaked concept art and developer chatter suggest Boruto’s story arc — possibly post Boruto: Two Blue Vortex — will be central. With Naruto and Hinata missing in the manga timeline, this opens the door for:
- Boruto vs Kawaki showdowns
- Time-travel elements (à la Naruto x Boruto crossover)
- Code and the Kara Organization as main villains
This shift may divide the fanbase, but it reflects the anime/manga’s current direction.
