Bandai Card Games, the team behind the One Piece Card Game, is bringing Naruto to the table. The Naruto Card Game debuted at Gen Con this summer. It was back at New York Comic Con this week with free learn-to-play sessions and a “NARUTO: What’s Next?” panel.

It’s built as a strategy-focused, competitive TCG, and the worldwide launch is set for summer 2027. Bandai has also announced organized play running from local store events all the way up to a World Championship. If you’ve been waiting for a new game to get in on from day one, this is it.
