Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, or Naruto Storm 4, will be in the hands of all its fans, at long last. It’s the fourth and final installment of the long-running series of fighting games starring the characters of the popular anime and manga series Naruto.
Like the previous games in the series, Naruto Storm 4 features awakenings, which are transformations that can be activated when a player loses a certain amount of health during a fight. The health requirement differs from character to character, depending on how powerful their awakening is.
When an awakening is activated, the character gains new abilities, a speed boost, and more powerful attacks. Some characters will even gain entirely new movesets after their awakening, allowing them to turn the tide of battle against their foe.
The new game features 108 characters to choose from, with 117 awakenings in total. Some characters have more than one Awakening, providing them with added versitility. To activate the awakening, simply hold down the triangle or Y button on your controller when your health is low.
YouTuber PowerPyx put together a video to showcase every character and their associated awakenings. Check it out below.
The game comes out for the PC, Xbox One and PS4 on February 4 for Japan, followed by February 5 in Europe, and February 9 for everywhere else. It covers the final arcs of the Naruto storyline, therefore making it the final installment in the series.
