Bandai says a global campaign will give away 1,000,000 demo decks starting in spring 2027 . Store demo events are scheduled to start earlier, in February 2027. ## How did the timeline change from 'Summer 2027' to June 2027? Bandai first promised only a "Summer 2027" worldwide release. At New York Comic Con in October 2026 it narrowed that to June 2027\. The window moved from a season to a month, but no exact day has been given yet. Bandai first gave the summer window in a PR Newswire release dated July 29, 2026 (source: PR Newswire, 2026-07) . The game was first shown to the public at Gen Con 2026 in Indianapolis, which ran July 30 to August 2, 2026 . According to Bandai's Gen Con release, the BANDAI CARD GAMES booth offered: - Free tutorial sessions for new players - Gift sets - Giveaways The more precise date came at NYCC 2026, during the "Naruto: What's Next?" panel. Bandai's press release, published by Anime News Network, confirms a June 2027 worldwide launch . Bleeding Cool reported the same month and said no specific day has been announced . The table below combines the event schedule from the July release with the dates added at NYCC. | Date | Event or milestone | Source | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | | Jul 30 – Aug 2, 2026 | World debut at Gen Con 2026, Indianapolis | PR Newswire | | Oct 2026 | New York Comic Con, PAX Australia, Spiel Essen, Paris Games Week | PR Newswire | | Nov 2026 | Lucca Comics & Games | PR Newswire | | Dec 2026 | Further reveals | PR Newswire | | Jan 2027 | In-store tutorials | PR Newswire | | Feb 2027 | Premier Demo Events begin at participating TCG stores | Anime News Network | | Spring 2027 | Global campaign giving away 1,000,000 demo decks | Anime News Network | | Jun 2027 | Worldwide launch, day not yet announced | Bleeding Cool | The October to January rows come from Bandai's July plan. The October 2026 press release did not say whether that schedule has changed since then. ## What products ship at launch: Starter Decks and the first booster? Two products are confirmed for the June 2027 launch. The first is three pre-built Starter Decks, one each led by Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara. The second is the first booster pack, titled "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" in English. Both were confirmed in Bandai's New York Comic Con press release (source: Anime News Network, 2026-10) . Bandai describes the Starter Decks as ready to play straight out of the box. hypebeast.kr also reported the three leaders: Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara. The official Naruto site lists the same three decks (source: NARUTO Official, 2026-10) . The booster comes out on the same day as the Starter Decks. Its English name differs between sources: - **"Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!"**: the English title in Bandai's press release, as carried by Anime News Network and Bleeding Cool . - **"Here Comes Naruto Uzumaki!"**: how the official Naruto site translates the same Japanese title . Collectors searching listings or pre-orders later may find either name. For now, they refer to the same first set. Bandai says the booster includes characters from the original NARUTO series and NARUTO SHIPPUDEN. It also adds new ninjas, techniques and other cards for building your own deck . Bandai also showed new card artwork during the NYCC presentation. The game as a whole covers NARUTO, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN and BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS. Bandai has not said which BORUTO characters will appear in later sets, or when (source: NARUTO CARD GAME official site). Several basic product details have not been published: - Number of cards per booster pack - Number of packs per booster box - Full card list or set size for "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" - Retail prices for the Starter Decks, booster packs or boxes - Exact contents of each Starter Deck Pre-order listings that show prices or pack counts before Bandai announces them should be treated as placeholders, not confirmed details. ## How does the Naruto Card Game play? ![Illustration of hands fanning out a stack of shiny holographic trading cards, with a small group of five cards and one more card set to the side.](https://snapholo.com/news/content/images/2026/10/naruto-card-game-june-2027-worldwide-release-body-ai-4-cover.jpg) Illustration: AI-generated The Naruto Card Game is a Leader-based trading card game. Each player builds a deck around one Leader card, a 51-card main deck, 5 Chakra cards and 1 Summon card. This is the deck format Bandai described in its Gen Con 2026 press release (source: PR Newswire, 2026-07). Some secondary coverage gives the main deck as 50 cards. Bandai's own figure is 51\. The full official rules have not been published, so check the final count against the rulebook on the official Naruto Card Game site when it is released. | Component | Count per deck (Bandai) | Card types involved | | ------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Leader | 1 | Leader | | Main deck | 51 | Character, EX Character (full makeup not yet published) | | Chakra cards | 5 | Chakra | | Summon card | 1 | Summon | Bandai lists five card types: Leader, Character, EX Character, Chakra and Summon . The Leader's color decides which cards a player can use and how the deck is likely to play. A player wins by reducing the opposing Leader's Life to zero. > "A player's cards and strategies are determined by the color of their Leader, with games won when an opponent's Leader's Life is brought to zero," — BANDAI CARD GAMES, Gen Con 2026 announcement (source: PR Newswire) Players of the One Piece Card Game will find this structure familiar. That game is also built around a Leader with a set color and a Life total. Bandai has not said how closely the two rule sets match. Any mechanics beyond the deck format and the win condition are still unconfirmed. hypebeast.kr describes the game's pitch as "ninja-style mind games". That is how Bandai's promotion frames the game, not a description of any specific rule. Rule details beyond the points below have not been released: - How Chakra cards are spent or generated during a turn - When and how the single Summon card enters play - How EX Characters differ from standard Characters - Starting Life totals for each Leader ## Where can you try it before launch?

Bandai is also running a separate giveaway of 1,000,000 demo decks worldwide from spring 2027 . The name of the events depends on the source. Bandai's press release, carried by Anime News Network, calls them "Premier Demo Events." The official Naruto site calls them "Advance Trial Events" and says they start in "early 2027" . Both names refer to the same program. According to Bleeding Cool, the events roll out in two waves : - **Wave 1:** selected large stores in the BANDAI TCG+ program. - **Wave 2:** more stores join.
