Bandai Namco has introduced Project Rasengan, a comprehensive initiative designed to expand the Naruto and Boruto universes through 2029. Announced at the New York Comic Con 2026, the project encompasses a variety of media, including anime, manga, card games, and video games.
The promotional trailer released on October 10, 2026, features imagery reminiscent of the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm series. This visual connection has fueled speculation regarding the potential development of a new console title, though official details remain unconfirmed.
While the trailer highlights the franchise's gaming history, Bandai Namco has not yet announced specific console titles, responsible studios, platforms, or release dates. The company maintains a roadmap through 2029 that includes several undisclosed projects, with further information expected at Jump Festa 2027 in December.
Beyond console speculation, the initiative confirms the international release of Naruto Mobile and a global launch for the Naruto Card Game in June 2027. Additionally, the project includes a new manga by Masashi Kishimoto and a four-episode animated collaboration with Ninku.
