Naruto Prepares for a Massive 25th Anniversary Comeback With New Games and Projects in 2027
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
TV Tokyo has teased a major global comeback for the Naruto franchise, announcing new games and video projects in development with fresh partners to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2027.
Naruto fans are getting ready for a major franchise revival as TV Tokyo outlines ambitious plans for the series' upcoming 25th anniversary. Originally spotted by Game Rant during a recent investor Q and A following TV Tokyo's financial results briefing, executives revealed that the studio views the 25th anniversary as the start of a brand new stage for the ninja epic. Leadership specifically pointed to new video games and video projects being developed with fresh external partners, aiming to rebuild global momentum for 2027 and beyond.
This renewed focus arrives just in time, as the franchise has been in a relatively quiet period since Naruto Shippuden concluded back in 2017. While Boruto has kept the universe active through manga and streaming, and players recently saw the launch of Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, the main series has been waiting for a definitive spark. TV Tokyo is clearly looking to tap into that massive nostalgia and community appetite, treating the milestone as an opportunity to deliver fresh interactive and animated experiences across platforms.
For players and anime fans alike, the main hope is that this initiative brings a truly standout video game back to the forefront. While the classic Ultimate Ninja Storm entries set a high bar, the community is eager to see what a modern, high tier arena fighter or action RPG could look like with current hardware and new development partners. As we head into the summer showcase season, the community will be keeping a close eye on whether TV Tokyo drops any early teaser details on these upcoming 2027 projects. As reported by Polygon, the full scope of the celebration is still under wraps, but the return of Konoha's finest is officially on the horizon.
