As far as the actual game goes, the latest installment in the Storm series "features the largest roster" in the series history and, like the games before it, brings the ninja battles fans know and love into the action fighting genre. That means 3v3 team-based combat in an art style that would fit in well with the anime. This entry also includes a re-cut of the story of Naruto and Sasuke alongside "an additional original story." The latest trailer (which you can see above) features three new playable fighters from the Kara Society: Boro, Delta, and Koji Kashin. As mentioned, those three are only a small sampling of the massive roster fans will soon have at their fingertips.

Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections launches worldwide on November 17. Pre-orders are currently available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the option will soon go live for Nintendo Switch and PC.
