Watch Minato Namikaze (Reanimation) in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker

Earlier in April 2023, Bandai Namco announced Minato Namikaze (Reanimation) DLC would come to Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker “soon.” Now, both the add-on and the 2.44 update are live. That means there’s also a trailer showing the character off, as well as patch notes noting rebalancing and the availability of Top Secret Training Set for Season Pass 5 and the Hidden Rain Village map.

First, here’s a closer look at Minato Namikaze (Reanimation) in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker.

With the Season Pass 5 unlock, someone needs to own either the Season Pass 5 or have bought Isshiki Otsutsuki, Konohamaru Sarutobi (Boruto), Madara Uchiha (Six Paths), Naruto Uzumaki (Baryon Mode), or Temari to use it. That gives people all everything from Training Rank 1-5.
