The NARUTO CARD GAME is going global. Following its world debut at Gen Con 2026, BANDAI CO., LTD. announced at New York Comic Con that the trading card game will launch simultaneously worldwide in June 2027.
The initial release includes three Starter Decks, each led by a different character and built around a unique Leader with its own strategic play style:
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Sasuke Uchiha
- Gaara
Each deck comes pre-constructed with all the cards needed to start playing right out of the box.
Launching alongside the Starter Decks is the first Booster Pack, “Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!”, featuring popular characters from both the original NARUTO series and NARUTO SHIPPUDEN. Booster Packs contain new ninjas, techniques, and other cards that let players strengthen their decks and build their own.
The NYCC presentation opened with the public premiere of a new teaser featuring original artwork by Studio Pierrot, the studio behind the NARUTO anime.
