What is the NARUTO CARD GAME?
An intro to Bandai's upcoming Naruto TCG - who's making it, when it launches, and where to see it first.
For those who don't know, the NARUTO CARD GAME is a new trading card game (TCG) officially announced by BANDAI CARD GAMES, based on Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto series.
The game is designed for competitive TCG players and is scheduled for a worldwide release in 2027. Kishimoto shared a message celebrating the project: "I'm glad to see the world of NARUTO grow larger once again."
The game makes its first public appearance at Gen Con 2026 (July 30–August 2, Indianapolis), with free tutorial sessions and demo decks. Attendees receive a promo Chakra Card, a backpack, a sticker, and access to a limited-edition 2027 playmat.
Bandai will reveal full mechanics, card designs, and future plans on July 29, 2026 - one day before Gen Con begins.
