Outside of the multiplayer options that will most likely be the star of the show, Revolution 2 also features a brand-new original storyline for its single-player (sorry, no co-op) adventure mode. The story finds the Leaf Village, still on the mend from Orochimaru’s devastating attack, teaming up with its former rivals in the Sand Village to find out who’s behind a covert operation to take them out. You guide Naruto as he rounds up a posse to go knock heads and solve mysteries. This all takes place after Sasuke has left the Leaf Village, if you were wondering where it fits into the timeline.
As for where the game fits into the real world timeline of the year 2008, it’ll be hitting store shelves in late October. Fans of the Clash series and the franchise should have plentyto chew on when that time comes – from minor tweaks, like the option to remove obstacles, to the brand-new U.S.-only characters and the tag team mode, this one’s being built from the ground up for them.
