Believe It! Bandai Is Launching a New Naruto Trading Card Game

After all these years, Naruto fans are finally getting a new way to battle. 

Bandai Card Games has officially unveiled its all-new Naruto Card Game, the first trading card game (TCG) inspired by the hit anime franchise in more than a decade. The strategy game will launch worldwide in 2027, but luckily, fans won’t have to wait that long to get a first look. 

The Naruto Card Game will make its world debut at Gen Con 2026, the largest and longest-running tabletop gaming convention in North America. Throughout the weekend, players can participate in the TCG’s first-ever tutorial sessions, where they’ll learn the basics of the game, play through demo rounds, and be among the first to actually experience the TCG before it hits shelves next year.

With their tutorial session ticket, fans will also receive a free Naruto Card Game gift set, complete with a Gen Con-exclusive Chakra Card promo, a special backpack, a sticker, and a redeemable ticket for an official Naruto Card Game playmat arriving next year. Fans can secure a seat in the sessions as early as June 21 on gencon.com. 

If you can’t make it to a tutorial event, don’t worry! Attendees can also stop by the Bandai Card Games booth (No. 605) for the chance to score a backpack and sticker, while supplies last. 

More details about the gameplay, card designs, and the game’s future roadmap will be revealed July 29, just ahead of Gen Con. For more information about the convention and to grab a badge, visit gencon.com.
