Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the sixth and final instalment of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco-Bandai games for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. It was released in February on the 4th in Japan, 5th in Europe and the 9th in North America. An enhanced edition called "Road to Boruto" will be released on February 2nd, 2017 in Japan and on February 3rd, 2017 in North America & Europe for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steams.

Gameplay
A new feature was introduced in the game called "Leader Swap", where you can switch out the main character you're fighting as to fight against your opponent with your support characters. To add balance, the character switched in will share the same life bar as the main character, as well as still maintaining an Awakening state. As a result of the new feature, support only characters from previous entries in the series have been omitted. A new version of Naruto and Sasuke will share a unique Combination Awakening when played together.

The option to select one of the three fighting types from Storm Revolution (Ultimate, Awakening, and Drive) is removed. Just like its other predecessors, the player can use all three types at once during a single and/or team battle. Before starting a battle, you are able to choose between multiple jutsus and Ultimate Jutsus to use in battle, a feature that has been in previous entries of the Ultimate Ninja series, but now makes its return.

The game is more realistic than its predecessors where an outfit can be damaged if it is hit and even worn off. Jutsu will have long-term effects on the outfits. For example, if a fireball hits the character, it will remain ignited for a while, but water can reverse that effect. Stage destruction will take place as well in boss battles and free battle, and there will be more details showing particles as they get worn off from an attack.
