New Developments for Shinobi Striker in 2023!!

It's time to determine the world's greatest ninja in the Ninja World League!
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an online multiplayer game where you go head-to-head with other ninjas in fast-paced, acrobatic battles to vie for the honor of being crowned the strongest of them all!!

Special Master-Ninjutsu Training Season Passes are set to be released in 2023!
The first Season Pass 6 DLC is scheduled to arrive in the spring!

1. All characters in the Season Pass will be announced by the time of release!
In 2022's Season Pass 5, two of the five Special Master-Ninjutsu Training DLCs were kept secret when the pack went on sale. But for Season Pass 6, all the included characters will be announced by the time of release!

2. Two Season Passes in one year!
Up until now only one Season Pass was released each year, but two are planned for 2023!

Since two Season Passes are coming this year, we have decided to offer each one at a more affordable price!
Plus, there will also be a Season Pass Bonus for each Season Pass!
*Season Pass 6 features a Bonus Ninjutsu known for its overwhelming intensity that will remind you of the strong bonds between people..?!

Starting from 2023, a new kind of DLC called Special Ninjutsu is set to be released!

・By purchasing Special Ninjutsu DLC, players will be able to learn one Ninjutsu right away
・Six Special Ninjutsu DLCs are planned to be released throughout the year
・The timing of their release will be staggered to fall on different months from the Special Master-Ninjutsu Training DLCs

Special Master-Ninjutsu Training will be released roughly every two months. The hope is that by adding Special Ninjutsu DLC between those releases, players will have something new to enjoy in the game each month!

Please look forward to updates about what Ninjutsu the previous Kage will bring to the battlefield!

The Renovated Map planned for spring 2023 is "Hidden Rain Village"!
Tall buildings line both banks of the river running through the center of Hidden Rain Village. The height difference between the structures' rooftops and the water's surface makes it possible to drop down and ambush your enemies, and the clustered buildings can be used as cover to sneak in close before fighting.

<Map Feature 1: Teleportation Devices>
By standing atop the points marked with the Chinese character 転 (ten, "transport") and forming a sign, you can travel long distances in the blink of an eye.
Whether heading for the rooftops or the riverbanks, this can save you a great deal of travel time.
*As shown in the map image above, there will be two types of Teleportation Devices.
Yellow: A Teleportation Device that sends you in the direction of the arrow
Blue: A Teleportation Device that sends you up or down

<Map Feature 2: Extensive Pipe Network>
A large pipe passageway surrounds the map and also extends into its interior.
It lends itself to a number of fighting strategies, such as remaining hidden while traveling and then ambushing enemies, or luring opponents into an enclosed space before fighting.

<Map Feature 3: Strategy is Key>
The area around the river in the center of the map is open and easier to fight in.
Teleportation Devices can be used to ambush enemy bases or escape from attacks. Using them effectively will allow you to speed across the map.
When your base is on the water, make sure to watch out for attacks coming from above as well as from your eye level.
Make sure to use the surrounding buildings to evade attacks, but remember to stay on guard for Ninjutsu coming from behind walls.

We began increasing our efforts to combat cheating in 2022. Based on user reports, the development team has been banning a greater number of players found to be cheating.
On top of the further increase in ban implementations being carried out since January 2023, we are also in the process of planning additional countermeasures for this issue.

With over four years having passed since the game's release, it has grown difficult to obtain certain items used for customization such as costumes, accessories, and weapons. We are currently planning adjustments to make it easier for players to obtain specific items from past releases!
These improvements may take some time, but stay tuned for updates!

This August will mark five years since Shinobi Striker's launch!
We had no idea how enduring this title would be when it was first released, and would like to thank all of you again for your continued support, which has made this upcoming anniversary a reality.
We will be working harder than ever to provide an enjoyable experience full of fierce battles for all our players, so please join us in celebrating Shinobi Striker's fifth year!
