Naruto X Boruto: Ninja Voltage Mobile Game Ends Service

Bandai Namco's fortress strategy RPG, Naruto X Boruto Ninja Voltage, is officially shutting down on December 9th, 2024, ending a nearly seven-year run. This isn't unexpected for many players, mirroring the fate of its predecessor, Naruto Blazing.

Shutdown Timeline and Final Events:

The game's final stretch includes several events:

• October 8th - 18th: Village Leader World Championship.
• October 18th - November 1st: All-Out Mission.
• November 1st - December 1st: "Thanks For Everything" campaign.

Players can continue collecting Ninja Cards, participating in summoning events, and using in-game items until the final shutdown. Spending any remaining Gold Coins is advised.

Reasons for Closure:

While initially successful with its balanced village-building, trap-setting, and defense mechanics, the game's decline began around its mid-life. The introduction of Minato Namikaze triggered a noticeable power creep, alienating many players. This was compounded by increasingly overt pay-to-win mechanics, reduced free-to-play rewards, and the near-disappearance of multiplayer features. These factors ultimately led to the game's inevitable closure. The game remains available on the Google Play Store for those wishing to play before the shutdown.
