Developed by CyberConnect2, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja: STORM 2 immerses players in the mythical world of ninja with rich content and engaging gameplay. Faithfully recreating the anime universe, the game takes players through the NARUTO SHIPPUDEN story arc as they live the adventure through the eyes of Naruto, Sasuke and Jiraiya.

In addition to these fan-favorite ninja, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja: STORM 2 includes over 40 playable warriors for more intense battles. As an added bonus, Lars Alexandersson of TEKKEN 6 fame appears as an unlockable guest character.
