Unleashing the Power: Unveiling the Epic Time-Skip Transformations in Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm

Highlights

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, despite having the biggest lineup to date, places more emphasis on Naruto rather than his son Boruto. This aspect has left fans feeling disappointed with Boruto's limited presence in the gaming experience.

The game showcases a remastered campaign focused on Naruto, while also prominently incorporating Boruto into a story centered around the game's original characters.

While the initial base content of Storm Connections does not appear to include the Boruto time skip, there is potential for DLC featuring Two Blue Vortex to be introduced later. This could enhance the game's roster and adapt Boruto's narrative arc.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, the upcoming installment in CyberConnect 2's arena fighter series, aims to further expand the Naruto franchise with a renewed focus on the next generation. Despite boasting the largest roster in the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, the emphasis remains on Naruto rather than his son. The lack of representation for Boruto in gaming has become glaringly apparent, especially with the recent release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

While Boruto is still a significant part of the game, his own series' content doesn't seem to take center stage. Instead, Storm Connections will feature remastered campaign content from previous Ultimate Ninja Storm games that revolve around Naruto. In contrast, Boruto will play a more prominent role in a story centered around Storm Connections' original characters. However, the Boruto time skip presents an opportunity for DLC characters and additional expansion content to further expand the game's roster.

The Strange Timing of Boruto's Time Skip

In the midst of the hype surrounding the upcoming release of Storm Connections, Boruto has already undergone a time skip and entered its second part in Two Blue Vortex. This latest arc of Boruto focuses on an older and edgier version of the character that fans have been eagerly anticipating for years. It is a significant departure from his origins. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that Storm Connections is solely focused on depicting Boruto's younger days, revealing a lack of continuity in the games.

Fans may find the lack of proper Boruto adaptation content to be the norm by now. However, this was not the case with Naruto. Naruto had numerous game releases that consistently incorporated the latest developments in the Naruto world, alongside other media. Boruto, on the other hand, has yet to receive the same treatment. Nevertheless, there is still potential for Storm Connections to introduce new content in the future.

The Potential for Two Blue Vortex DLC in Storm Connections

The release of Storm Connections is just a few weeks away, so it is unlikely that any more information will be revealed. Although the base content of the upcoming title does not seem to include the Boruto time skip, the DLC roadmap might tell a different story. With a season pass already planned to include five undisclosed characters, there is a good chance that Two Blue Vortex will be represented. With only two chapters released in September, it is possible that Boruto needs a few more months to establish a more adaptable story arc.

Storm Connections is revisiting Naruto's past adventures, which could indicate that this collection of remastered campaigns marks the end of the original series in gaming. By honoring Naruto's history and providing the most comprehensive adaptation of its story to date, Storm Connections could serve as a conclusion to the Ultimate Ninja Storm games as a whole. As the game continues to be published, there may be story DLC based on Two Blue Vortex that enhances Storm Connections with additional content and signals a transition to new avenues. If the Naruto x Boruto aspect of the title suggests anything, it is that this game may be intended to pass the torch to the next generation.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will be released on November 17 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
