Naruto Shippūden Smartphone Game Shuts Down From 9 Feb 2021

Based on Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto, the “Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Blazing” smartphone game follows Part II of the Naruto manga series.

Set after two and a half years later from Part I, the game follows the storyline of Naruto fighting enemies with his friends by his side.

The game was released in July 2016 in Japanese with an English version releasing later that year under Bandai Namco Entertainment.

The game supported iOS and Android platforms and gained immense popularity with its turn-based RPG gameplay where you, as the player, are able to collect new characters and level up.

Much to the fans’ dismay, Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Blazing smartphone game will be shutting down its services from February 9th, 2021.

【Important Notices】 We would like to express our deep gratitude for your continued patronage of the service. We are pleased to announce that “Ultimate Blazing” will no longer be available.

■ End date and time February 9, 2021 (Tuesday) 12:00

The game grossed over US$96 million in China and over 20 million downloads in 2017.

The game allowed players to engage in shinobi formation battles where one could level up their players by winning matches.

The matches were won by strategically moving your characters in battle and defeating the enemy team. Some of the other features in the game include:

• Trail Missions
• Phantom Castle
• Ninja Road
• Ninja World Clash

But despite its smooth gameplay and stunning visuals the game is shutting down once and for all. It might be because of the lack of in-game players every day or might be because of lack of funds.

Nonetheless, the game was surely a hit among Naruto fans and will continue to be so till its last day.

We hope Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Blazing gets adapted into a PC game so that we can once again delve into the world of Naruto.
