Bandai Namco Announces Naruto X Boruto Ninja Voltage EOS

Bandai Namco's fortress strategy RPG, Naruto X Boruto Ninja Voltage, is officially shutting down on December 9th, 2024, ending a nearly seven-year run. This isn't unexpected for many players, mirroring the fate of other Naruto gacha games like Naruto Blazing.

Shutdown Timeline and Final Events:

The game will remain playable until December 9th. Players can enjoy several upcoming events:

• Village Leader World Championship: October 8th - 18th
• All-Out Mission: October 18th - November 1st
• ‘Thanks For Everything’ Campaign: November 1st - December 1st

During this period, players can continue collecting Ninja Cards, participating in summoning events, and utilizing in-game items. It's advisable to spend any remaining Gold Coins before the shutdown.

Reasons for Closure:

While initially successful with its balanced village-building, trap-setting, and character defense mechanics, the game's decline began around its midpoint. The introduction of Minato Namikaze exacerbated power creep, alienating players. This was compounded by increasingly overt pay-to-win elements, reduced free-to-play rewards, and the near-disappearance of multiplayer features. These factors ultimately led to the game's inevitable closure. The game remains available on the Google Play Store for those wishing to try it.
