I'm a bit late with this, but to be fair, it only came to light really late last night.

 

So, according to this article, Bandai Namco has trademarked three new game titles.

 

These titles are "Narutimate Braves", "Narutimate Blazing", and "Narutimate Wars".

 

For those of who you don't know, the "Narutimate" series in Japan is essentially the "Ultimate Ninja" series here in America. It also make sense for CC2 to produce more games in this series since they have cited Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 as the last Storm game.

 

Based on most people's speculations, the consensus is that these will be on mobile platforms such as the PSVita or even Nintendo 3DS. Personally, I think it's possible that these titles could be on home consoles like the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. After all, with the Storm series coming to an end, CC2 would benefit greatly from not only going back to the mobile market but still keeping their home console run afloat, and also leave an opportunity for a cross-platform project to get underway, similar to how the upcoming game "One Piece: Burning Blood" will seemingly handle.

Didn't expect them to announce some new games already. Either way, I'm excited to see what these are. Despite some of Namco's... recent decisions regarding Naruto games (Everyone on the Storm 4 thread knows what I'm talking about), they've made some fantastic games, including the UN series. I'd be happy if the 3DS got more Naruto love, seeing as how the other 3DS Naruto game, Powerful Shippuden, is awesome. Console games would be awesome, too.

Recent decisions? Do you mean the pre-order exclusive characters?

Yes, those.

 

I'm a little confused as to why a post I made 4 months ago is being brought up again, though.

They've done quite a few different games in the past. They worked on the .Hack series alongside Naruto back in the day. Not to mention that they made all the other recent Ultimate Ninja games too. UN is pretty much their thing, it should be no surprise that they're making the next few games in the series.

It's not a surprise they're making another Naruto game it's a surprise they have so much in the works. It's a similar situation with PlatinumGames. A studio with lets say 200 employees in both cases all of a sudden working on several games.

Wouldn't be the first time they've had numerous projects at once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberConnect2

 

2013 alone had four entirely different games released in the same year (Not counting Full Burst as it's essentially an expanded version on Ninja Storm 3).
