New details for the upcoming Naruto Card Game have dropped, including how it plays on a basic level and a Summer 2027 worldwide launch date.
The decks in the trading card game, which draws from Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, will revolve around a Leader card. Winning a game requires taking down the opposing Leader. Aside from this card, players have at their disposal 50 Character cards (the selection of which is influenced by the color of the Leader card), five Chakra cards, and a Summon card for summoning Characters.
Fulfilling “certain conditions” will allow the player to make use of stronger EX Character cards (which count towards the Character card limit, according to an official overview trailer) to the mix. Additionally, some Characters can use Jutsu, which consume Chakra. The press release says that there are also “other Support effects” that require Chakra.
Visually, the cards will sport original illustrations by various artists as well as “artwork drawn from the anime and manga.”
In between the game’s release and previously announced Gen Con 2026 debut, there will appearances at events like BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest. 26-27, Spiel Essen 2026, Paris Games Week 2026, and Lucca Comics & Games 2026. Afterwards, more details will be revealed in December, followed by the start of in-store tutorials in January 2027.
