Bandai published a first-look trailer and footage of physical cards for the Naruto Card Game on July 29, ahead of its appearance at Gen Con 2026. The game draws on the entire Naruto anime franchise, including the original series, Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Players build a deck around a Leader card, with 50 deck cards, five Chakra cards, and one Appearance card. Victory comes when an opponent's Leader LP reaches zero. The game uses five card types: Leader, Character, EX Character, Chakra, and Appearance. Cards will feature anime stills, newly commissioned art from various creators, and manga artwork.
After Gen Con, Bandai will exhibit at BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27, New York Comic Con 2026, PAX Australia 2026, Spiel Essen 2026, Paris Games Week 2026, and Lucca Comics & Games 2026. More information is expected at New York Comic Con.
