A "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" playable demo is reportedly in the works, according to the official Naruto Video Games' Twitter account. The tweet said that they have received a lot of questions about a demo and stated that they are currently working on it. However, they cannot give an exact release date.

In a previous report by Geek Snack, Bandai Namco said on Twitter that there are no plans for a "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" playable demo in any format, but the game will be available in playable form in a number of events around the world.

New characters like Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha have been confirmed to be part of the game exclusively for pre-orders, per a separate report from Geek Snack. The characters will have unique fighting styles and powerful special moves that will give a different feel from the rest of the roster. However, the same news outlet said that Mecha Naruto will not be included in the game and is exclusive for "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution." The character was designed by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto.

According to Anime News Network, "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will be released in all regions in February 2016. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

In other Naruto news, Masashi Kishimoto is thinking of creating a new project. In an interview with Japanese magazine Anime Matome, as quoted by Kotaku, Kishimoto said that he has a new manga in place.

"I've already decided what I'm doing for my next work. While I was still doing Naruto, I thought about various things for material, and for the next one, I'm thinking I'm going to do science-fiction. It hasn't all been worked out, and I haven't showed my editor yet, but I've already designed the characters."

Kishimoto added, "Since Naruto was a bigger hit than I could ever imagine, I'd like to aim for the next hit. I don't know when I can announce the next manga, but because I plan on challenging myself to surpass Naruto. Please wait for it."

When asked if it's going to be a weekly manga, the 40-year-old artist said, "That's definitely not happening but I do feel like drawing manga."

He noted that it is really difficult to do a weekly manga because of the deadlines, but he is interested in doing a monthly manga for the digital publication, Shonen Jump Plus, as it offers more freedom with page counts and publication dates.
