Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is the seventh instalment of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco-Bandai games for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

Gameplay changes[]

Here have been some of the confirmed gameplay changes so far:

  • Ninja items with the D-pad are now infinite in usage.
  • Idle chakra regeneration rate has notably increased.
  • Hitstun times are now more generalized across the cast, which may or may not interfere with intended hit effects of attacks from prior games.
  • The counter returning from Storm Revolution now inflicts a crumple instead of a ground slide.
  • Hitting a victim during crumple state, ground slide (mainly with a chakra dash) or with a tool throw when they are downed causes a re-stand state.
  • Damage scaling is implemented, but the game is unable to properly register it at times if the combo is desynced enough.
  • Mid-ranged tilt moves are removed, and a replaced with a second chakra technique/jutsu/U1, and for some characters, they now also have essentially 3 chakra techniques usable on-hand.
  • The input for the second jutsu is the same as the original input for chakra tool throw. As a result, chakra tool throws have been removed.

Trivia[]

  • The feature to customise the appearance of playable characters, first introduced in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, finally makes a reappearance after being omitted in the previous game.
  • It is unknown where in the timeline the Special Story takes place - it appears to at the least follow after Boruto: Naruto the Movie, though Boruto is clearly shown with his Kāma.
  • The developers were accused by the English voice actors from the game to have re-dubbed over their lines with AI. The developers revealed that the questionable voice work was just the result of poor editing, and it will be fixed in a later update.[1][2]
