What Is Naruto?
Naruto is the manga by Masashi Kishimoto, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, with an anime by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo. TV Tokyo said in May 2026 that new games and video projects with new partners are planned for 2027 and beyond. Here is what is confirmed.
The announced Naruto projects are real but thin on detail: no titles, no dates beyond a year.
What is confirmed
Anime Corner reports that TV Tokyo said in an earnings briefing Q&A on May 19, 2026 that “new projects, including videos and games developed with new partners, are planned for 2027 and beyond.” No game title is named. The article speculates, without confirmation, that the long-delayed anniversary specials may be among the video projects.
New York Comic Con
Anime Trending reported on September 29, 2026 that VIZ Media was teasing a “limited series” reveal at a “NARUTO: What’s Next?” panel on October 10, 2026, with Junko Takeuchi, Noriaki Sugiyama and Pierrot’s Yoshihiro Tominaga, and updates on the Naruto Card Game launching next summer. That article predates the panel and I did not find a report of what was announced, so I make no claim about it.
