Project Rasengan Roadmap — Project Rasengan Wiki

---

Quick answer

The official roadmap runs from the October 2026 announcement through 2029. Confirmed anchors are the NARUTO CARD GAME worldwide launch in June 2027 and SHADOW RISING details at Jump Festa 2027 (Dec 19-20, 2026); anime and mobile dates remain TBA. This page tracks Roadmap accordingly.

Because the initiative is broader than a single game, this page separates what is confirmed from what remains unannounced. The card game is the clearest timed release. The anime and mobile projects still need official dates.

Official status

Project Rasengan is not an invented fan label. It is the official umbrella used for the NARUTO franchise revival. The four projects are meant to span anime, manga, trading cards, and mobile gaming over a long-term roadmap.

The NARUTO x NINKU anime is a limited crossover series supervised by Masashi Kishimoto together with NINKU author Koji Kiriyama. SHADOW RISING is a new manga project drawn by Kishimoto. The card game and mobile game extend the franchise into tabletop and mobile play.

• NARUTO x NINKU limited anime: Supervised by Masashi Kishimoto and NINKU author Koji Kiriyama. Premiere date: TBA.
• SHADOW RISING manga: A new manga project drawn by Masashi Kishimoto. Details: Jump Festa 2027, Dec 19-20, 2026.
• NARUTO CARD GAME: Worldwide launch confirmed for June 2027. Deck: 51 main cards + 5 Chakra cards + 1 Summon card.
• NARUTO mobile WORLDWIDE: In development. No release date, no confirmed preregistration.
• Roadmap: Announced at New York Comic Con 2026 and planned across 2027-2029.

Release timing

NARUTO CARD GAME is confirmed for June 2027 worldwide. SHADOW RISING details are scheduled for Jump Festa 2027 on December 19-20, 2026. No public premiere date is available for the NARUTO x NINKU anime.

NARUTO mobile WORLDWIDE is in development, but official materials do not include a release date or preregistration link. Treat every other date you see elsewhere as unverified until NARUTO's official channels confirm it.

Why it matters

For fans searching Project Rasengan roadmap, the important point is the structure: four projects, not one platform. That distinction matters for release tracking, because manga, anime, cards, and mobile game announcements will not all arrive together.

The card game's June 2027 launch gives the roadmap a firm anchor. Jump Festa 2027 gives the manga a concrete next update point. The anime and mobile projects have status and creative details, but dates remain TBA.

How to follow updates

The safest sources are the official Project Rasengan page, NARUTO's official site and X account, the official YouTube channel, and the NARUTO CARD GAME site. For the mobile project, the official Instagram/X account is the relevant channel.

When a new announcement appears, check three things: whether the source is official, whether the date is explicit, and whether the announcement names the exact project. That helps avoid mixing rumors from different NARUTO projects.

Practical next steps

If you want a starting point, read the beginner guide for the whole initiative, then bookmark the release schedule page. If you care about the card game, study the deck structure and card types before the global launch.

If your main interest is the manga, wait for Jump Festa 2027 details. If you care about the anime, treat the crossover's creative team as confirmed but the date as unannounced.

The roadmap structure

If you searched for Roadmap, start with the confirmed facts below. Project Rasengan is planned as a multi-year initiative running from the October 2026 announcement through 2029. It spans four projects: anime, manga, trading cards, and mobile gaming. Each project advances on its own schedule under the same umbrella.

The structure means the roadmap has both shared milestones and project-specific ones. The NYCC announcement was a shared milestone. The card game launch and the Jump Festa manga reveal are project-specific anchors that hold the early calendar together.

Confirmed milestones

October 2026: Project Rasengan announced at New York Comic Con. December 19-20, 2026: SHADOW RISING manga details at Jump Festa 2027. June 2027: NARUTO CARD GAME worldwide launch.

These three points are the confirmed skeleton of the plan. Everything else on the timeline, including the anime premiere and the mobile game launch, has no official date yet. The 2027-2029 window is where the remaining milestones are expected to land.

Open slots on the timeline

The NARUTO x NINKU anime and NARUTO mobile WORLDWIDE both sit in open slots. The anime is confirmed as a limited series with a named creative team, but no date. The mobile game is confirmed as in development with no launch window or preregistration.

Anniversary events, Jump Festa stages, and game showcases are the likely venues for filling these slots. None of these venues has been officially tied to a specific reveal yet. Treating predictions as unconfirmed keeps expectations accurate.

How to track changes

The official hub is the canonical source, and the official X accounts provide faster notifications. The card game site maintains its own event and news pages. For the mobile project, the NTMGamePJTJP accounts on X and Instagram are the official channels.

A simple routine works well: check the hub after major events, follow the two X accounts for daily news, and revisit this wiki's schedule pages for summaries. If a claim is not on an official channel, this wiki treats it as unconfirmed.

Common mistakes to avoid

A frequent mistake is assuming an annual cadence for every project. The roadmap runs through 2029, but it does not promise yearly updates for each project. Milestones will land unevenly across the four tracks.

Another error is mixing the projects when reading the timeline. The card game, manga, anime, and mobile game each advance separately. Keeping them separated is what makes the roadmap readable.
