"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is set to have a new character in the form of Rikudo Madara.
Shonen Jump magazine's latest issue confirmed the inclusion of Rikudo Madara or Six Paths Madara and Jinchuriki Madara, via Geek Snack. Also, it is confirmed that Rikudo Madara will be fully playable as well as the character will be in boss battle.
The players will have to defeat this new character with the help of Sasuke and Naruto. Apart from Rikudo Madara, there are many other confirmed new characters like Jinchuriki Obito. This character will be a part of a boss fight up against Sasuke and Naruto.
Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO and President of CyberConnect2 talked to Siliconera about "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4." When asked about if the characters share life bars or they have their own in the new game, they have some updates regarding this.
"Since some players will have a two person team and others a three man cell, we wanted to balance this by only having one life gauge between all characters. If you activate Awakening mode that stays active when you switch leader characters too. It's possible to have a Tailed Beast Ball combo attack where Shukaku attacks first then Kurama can come out right away."
Also, wall fighting is back on "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" and Matsuyama shared that they are developing this feature as having a player on the wall and one on the ground will be unbalanced.
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" release date has not yet been released, but it is expected this autumn on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One.
