Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker adds Sage Mode Kabuto on PS5
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker receives Kabuto Yakushi in Sage Mode as a free update arriving November 13 on PlayStation.
Bandai Namco Entertainment America has released a DLC trailer announcing that Kabuto Yakushi in his Sage Mode form is joining NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER. The character arrives on November 13 as part of a free update, meaning no additional purchase is required for players who already own the game. The trailer showcases the character, who declares himself perfection itself in his signature boastful style.
What the trailer reveals
The star of the new DLC is Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode), a powerful incarnation of the villainous medic-nin who absorbed Orochimaru's abilities and mastered Sage techniques in the Naruto Shippuden storyline. Because the addition is a free update, every player will be able to use him once it goes live on November 13. Bandai Namco also teased what is coming next: during the winter, more information will be shared about a future character, Obito Uchiha (Rampaging), suggesting the game's roster will keep expanding beyond this release.
About Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an online action game set in the Naruto universe, developed by Soleil and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Unlike traditional fighting games in the franchise, it focuses on 4-versus-4 team battles where players create their own custom ninja and fight alongside iconic Naruto and Boruto characters across a variety of online modes. Since launch, the game has been supported with a steady stream of new playable characters and downloadable content, and this free update continues that pattern of post-launch support.
For PlayStation players who enjoy anime-based competitive action, the free arrival of Sage Mode Kabuto on November 13 is an easy reason to jump back into Shinobi Striker, with the promise of Obito Uchiha (Rampaging) on the horizon giving fans of the series something further to look forward to this winter.
