After 10 Years, Naruto Is Officially Getting A Revival In 2027

by

The original Naruto manga series by Masashi Kishimoto ended on November 24, 2014, in issue #50 of Weekly Shonen Jump. The anime concluded a couple of years later, with its final episode airing on March 23, 2017, as episode 500. While the Naruto story continues with the Boruto series, the main storyline wrapped up with the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, a brief jump forward in time, and Naruto becoming the Seventh Hokage.

I’m so excited! It’s been almost a decade, but TV Tokyo just announced they’re officially bringing Naruto back in 2027! They revealed the news on May 19th, 2026, during their latest financial report – it’s been a long wait, but it’s finally happening!

TV Tokyo Officially Confirms A Naruto Comeback For 2027 To Celebrate 25th Anniversary

TV Tokyo recently announced that Naruto will be returning next year, in 2027, to celebrate the anime’s 25th anniversary. While details are still limited, the comeback will include both a new video game and a video project of some kind.

We’re celebrating 25 years of Naruto and see it as a fresh start. To mark this milestone, we’re planning exciting new projects – including videos and games created with new collaborators – that will roll out in 2027 and continue in the years following.

A New Naruto Game With A New Partner Will Be Released In 2027

TV Tokyo announced that a new Naruto video game is currently being made. This time, it won’t be developed by CyberConnect2 and Bandai, the teams behind previous Naruto games; they’re working with a different partner, which hasn’t been revealed yet. The game is planned for release in 2027, and more details will be shared in the future.

Naruto games, like Storm 4, have consistently delivered amazing experiences for fans. However, more recent Boruto games haven’t reached the same level of quality. A new Naruto game that revisits the original series would be particularly exciting, especially with the franchise’s 25th anniversary approaching. Fans are hoping for more details by the end of 2026, and they’d love to see a game that seamlessly connects the stories of Naruto and Boruto, while also adding fresh and original content to the Naruto universe.

New Naruto Video Projects Are On The Way For A 2027 Release

A recent report from TV Tokyo suggests that new video projects are planned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Naruto series. While details are still unknown, these projects could include a new anime set after the Fourth Great Ninja War and before the Boruto series. Alternatively, and quite possibly, it could be a complete remake of the original Naruto, similar to the remakes announced for One Piece and Dragon Ball Super. Given Naruto’s immense popularity, a remake would be a fantastic way to revitalize the series and excite fans.

There’s a good chance we might get a new Naruto movie, which would be fantastic! The previous Naruto films were very successful, and with the last one released back in 2015, it feels like the perfect time to bring the franchise back and explore its continued potential.

Naruto’s 4 Special Episodes Could Be Released In Late 2026

The video project people are talking about might be the four Naruto episodes originally announced for 2023. While Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo promoted these episodes, they were delayed and put on hold. There haven’t been any updates since, but recent rumors suggest they might air in 2026. It’s possible the project has been pushed back again, potentially to 2027, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Naruto series.

Fans can look forward to four new episodes arriving either in late 2026 or 2027. These episodes will be a nostalgic trip back to the original Naruto series, before Shippuden, showing Team 7 during their earlier adventures and missions. Hopefully, Studio Pierrot will deliver these episodes soon and make sure they live up to expectations with a strong story and high-quality animation.

A Full Naruto Revival In 2027 Is On The Cards

TV Tokyo’s latest financial report shows that the Naruto series continues to be their biggest money-maker, even after ending a decade ago. Its sequel, Boruto, came in second place this year. Because of this success, TV Tokyo is planning to reinvest in the Naruto franchise and bring it back with new projects, including a new video game planned for 2027 and other video content.

Naruto’s final words describe a ninja’s duty as unwavering perseverance – continuing to fight for your beliefs, no matter the difficulty. It’s about enduring until your goals are realized, and that dedication is what defines a true ninja.

It’s clear the Naruto series is experiencing a big comeback, and we’re really excited about it! As fans, we’re hoping to see Masashi Kishimoto, the original creator, team up with the TV network and Studio Pierrot to create a new anime that continues Naruto’s story after the events of the Fourth Great Ninja War. While it’s just a wish for now, it would be amazing to see!

A great idea would be to remake the entire Naruto series, cutting out the filler episodes, updating the animation, and improving the story’s flow. The potential of a new Naruto game is also huge, considering how popular and unique previous games have been. As the franchise celebrates a major anniversary, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s coming next year, and preparations are already underway.

You can now watch every episode of Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto, on Crunchyroll.
