Shinobi Striker: The Latest Roadmap Info for 2024!

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 ninja in fast-paced, acrobatic battles to vie for the honor of being crowned the strongest of them all!!

March 2024 saw the end of Season 7 as well as the approach of the highly anticipated Season 8! Here we'll take a look at what's in store for Season 8 in 2024!

The main updates up to this point have revolved around Special Ninjutsu Training DLC, Special Ninjutsu DLC, as well as weapons and other items that can only be obtained from scrolls. Starting from this season, in order to bring Shinobi Striker to the next level, we will be adding two new features!

For those that want to feel a new sense of strategy, as well as those that want to shorten the time it takes to move around, we bring you the new Summoned Animals.
Like Ninjutsu, Summoned Animals can be equipped to avatars, allowing you to bring forth animals that have undergone shinobi training during battle. These summons aren't just limited to getting you around the map quicker either. They're also capable of helping you gain an advantage in battle depending on how you choose to approach the enemy.

Following the implementation of Summoned Animals, new animals are planned for later updates. As for what their special characteristics will be, look forward to the reveals of more info!

And now, the first of these Summoned Animals, which could be said to be the archetypical example: the Ninja Hound!

The Ninja Hound will allow its summoner to ride on its back for high-speed movement across the battlefield. Surely man's best friend will be of great support to you in both movement and battle.

SS+ rank weapons bring more to the game than just weapons with higher stats.

Our goal for SS+ rank weapons is to make them feel even more special than SS rank weapons by having them draw from the skills and traits of characters from the original series.

Therefore, the plan is to adjust them to be on the same level of strength as SS rank weapons, while giving them additional components that go above and beyond. Hence the classification: "SS+".

Along with the newly added Summoned Animals and SS+ rank weapons, we will of course be adding Special Ninjutsu Training and Special Ninjutsu throughout Season 8 as well!

Though you'll have to wait a bit longer for the particulars, a long-awaited character from Boruto will finally be making an appearance!

The previous season's theme, An Elder Reborn "Kage", saw the release of various Ninjutsu used by the Kage of old. But Season 8 will be taking a different approach to Special Ninjutsu.

Season 8's theme is Awakened Tailed Beast!! What kinds of Ninjutsu are on the horizon? The details will come at a later date!

Unlike previous seasons, Season 8 will forgo the regular Season Pass and instead introduce a Special Ninjutsu Training, Special Ninjutsu, or Summoned Animal every month. In addition, specialty SS+ weapons will be added to the game alongside each of these, bringing the Shinobi Striker experience to new heights!
*Due to the number of characters that have been introduced, choosing characters to fit a given season's theme has begun to feel somewhat forced, so for Season 8's development we plan to be less tied down by the season theme.

In 2022, we began strengthening measures against cheating and, making use of in-game reports, implementing bans on offending players. Starting in the fall of 2023, we also began implementing large-scale bans. We will continue these measures as we work daily to improve detection quality.

Examples of User Misconduct:
・Selling or redistributing of accounts
・Unauthorized access of paid content, proxy buying, real money trading (RMT), receiving unauthorized refunds
・Falsification, mining, alteration of data, etc.
・Usage of external tools or programs
・Exploitation of application glitches, etc., to one's own benefit

We hope for your understanding as we make continued efforts to promote a safe gaming environment.

Thank you for reading until the end! In Season 8, we plan to continue challenging ourselves to create an even more enjoyable Shinobi Striker experience for all the shinobi out there.
We are also considering ideas that'll allow our shinobi to have more fun with the game, including a system to allow them to match with each other more freely... Stay tuned for more details!
The next Developers' Letter is planned for late May. Until we meet again!
