Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is the seventh instalment of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco-Bandai games for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

## Gameplay changes [ ]

Here have been some of the confirmed gameplay changes so far:

- Ninja items with the D-pad are now infinite in usage.
- Idle chakra regeneration rate has notably increased.
- Hitstun times are now more generalized across the cast, which may or may not interfere with intended hit effects of attacks from prior games.
- The counter returning from Storm Revolution now inflicts a crumple instead of a ground slide.
- Hitting a victim during crumple state, ground slide (mainly with a chakra dash) or with a tool throw when they are downed causes a re-stand state.
- Damage scaling is implemented, but the game is unable to properly register it at times if the combo is desynced enough.
- Mid-ranged tilt moves are removed, and is replaced with a second chakra technique/jutsu/U1, and for some characters, they now also have essentially 3 chakra techniques usable on-hand.
- The input for the second jutsu is the same as the original input for chakra tool throw. As a result, chakra tool throws have been removed.

## Trivia [ ]

- The characters they use Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and Poison will be aligned with the movement of throwing shuriken.
- The feature to customise the appearance of playable characters, first introduced in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution , finally makes a reappearance after being omitted in the previous game .
- It is unknown where in the timeline the Special Story takes place - it appears to at the least follow after Boruto: Naruto the Movie , as Boruto is clearly shown with his Kāma .
- The developers were accused by the English voice actors from the game to have re-dubbed over their lines with AI. The developers revealed that the questionable voice work was just the result of poor editing, and that it will be fixed in a later update.
