Naruto Card Game Announced by Bandai — Worldwide Release Set for 2027

Naruto is joining the trading-card world. On 18 June 2026, Bandai’s card division unveiled the Naruto Card Game at its BANDAI CARD GAMES Next Plan presentation — a brand-new TCG based on Masashi Kishimoto’s legendary ninja saga. Here’s everything announced so far, and what it means for collectors.

What we know so far

The Naruto Card Game was revealed on 18 June 2026, alongside a teaser trailer and a new official website. A worldwide simultaneous launch is planned for 2027, and the first product information is scheduled for 29 July 2026. To mark the announcement, manga author Masashi Kishimoto shared a special illustration and a short message — saying, in essence, that the world of Naruto is expanding once again, and that he hopes the cards reach fans everywhere. Official site, X and YouTube channels are now live.

Who’s making it

The Naruto Card Game comes from BANDAI CARD GAMES, Bandai’s trading-card brand that runs titles across 50+ countries and regions — the same brand behind the hugely popular One Piece Card Game. That track record is a big reason collectors are paying close attention to this debut.

Why it’s a big deal

Naruto is one of the most successful manga and anime franchises ever made: serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999, with over 250 million copies in circulation across 60+ countries, an anime broadcast in 145+ countries, and eleven films to its name. A dedicated TCG brings one of the world’s biggest fandoms into card collecting for the first time.

What happens next

The date to watch is 29 July 2026, when Bandai is expected to reveal the first product details — likely the debut set, card types and early character line-up. We’ll break down each reveal as it lands.
