A brand new trailer and demo announcement have been released for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. You can watch the trailer below which features a wealth of new announcements and summarising of old ones. Most important to mention in terms of gameplay are the new leader change system that allows you to rotate your main, playable character with anyone else on your team, elemental effects depending on the stage (eg. water jutsu will do more damage if you are standing on water) and clothing damage.
In other announcements from the trailer the story mode will feature many huge boss battles against the final enemies of the Naruto manga and there will also be an adventure mode where you walk around the Naruto Universe doing missions once you complete the main story, much like the past few entries in the series. The online mode also seems to be better then ever, featuring all the old features you know and love such as league, tournament and ninja card customisation but also adding limited timed events that seem to offer exclusive rewards.
Players can expect a demo worldwide on December 17th for the PS4 and Xbox One only, with Bandai Namco not currently planning any type of demo release for Steam according to their Facebook page. For those PS4 owners who are well coursed in getting into the Japanese PlayStation Store, you can play the demo right now as it was released over there a few days ago. The demo will focus on the boss fight between Hasirama and Madara and does not feature any versus mode gameplay.
Storm 4 will also be the first game in the series to feature extensive DLC, with a Season Pass being introduced. The Season Pass layout has been detailed below but specfics have yet to be mentioned.
