Playable Characters

Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 will feature over 40 characters from the Shippuden series.[3]

Gameplay

The gameplay will be very similar the previous title. A new Single Player Mode will feature a 1:1 recreation of the Hidden Leaf Village and will be mission-based. Some tweaks have been made to support characters for more strategic uses like combo jutsus and countering hits from an opponent. Awakening Mode returns with some tweaks as well but the changes are currently unknown. Also, a brand new Online Mode will be introduced enabling 1-on-1 battles against players online.[3]
