The latest issue of Weekly Jump has detailed new information regarding an upcoming Japanese open beta test for Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, a multiplayer game that puts users smack dab in the middle of the story. Weekly Jump has confirmed that the beta, which is unfortunately strictly for Japanese players, will run from February 23rd to 25th.

The beta will include access to the Konohagakure Forest, as well as the addition of the new Sunagakure Training Grounds. Additionally, players who participate in the new open beta will be given an exclusive costume prize for their characters, which is a t-shirt with the game's logo on it -- perfect for lounging around in the lobby and showing off. Of course, players who are savvy enough to work their way in have always existed, so it's only a matter of time before some sort of guide is released to help overseas gamers get in on the action.
