Namco Bandai announced today that Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles will be available this winter in North America for the PlayStation 2 console. Released last year in Japan, the game will give fans of the Naruto anime and manga series a chance to play as the young orphaned ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village through a series of story-driven missions, spanning everything from saving the Hidden Leaf Village to fulfilling Naruto's dream of becoming the Hokage (strongest ninja). "On the heels of the resounding success of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, fans of the series have been clamoring for new Naruto adventures on the PlayStation 2," said Naruo Uchida, Namco Bandai Games America Inc.'s Senior VP. "With Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles, we will deliver another layer of gameplay depth to the franchise by introducing an original storyline and providing an opportunity for fans to engage in large-scale ninja combat, all the while exploring familiar locations of the Naruto universe in an adventure setting." Featuring a wide range of characters from the Naruto universe, the game includes a unique combat system utilizing both close and long ranged attacks, as well as various minigames.
