Another “sage” addition is heading to a Naruto game. Bandai Namco announced the free DLC character Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) is now available in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. The company also noted the next add-on to the roster will be a Rampaging version of Obito Uchiha who will arrive “this Winter,” but didn’t specify if that means before 2026 ends or in early 2027. This look is based on later events in the series, so the trailer does feature spoilers if you didn’t finish the anime and manga series.

The video begins by showing the Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) moveset. He can use Sage Art: White Extreme Attack, Strange Transmission Distant Shadow, and Secret Technique Sage Art: Inorganic Animation when he fights. He also comes with Kabuto Outfit Sage Mode and Kabuto Outfit Young Version for male and female characters, hairstyles for both looks, and the Kabuto’s Serpent weapon. 

Here is the full Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker trailer. The Obito Uchiha (Rampaging) teaser comes up at the two minute, ten second mark of the video.

This isn’t the only recent addition to the roster. Back in August 2026, Bandai Namco added Naruto Uzumaki (Sage Mode) to Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker as DLC. His add-on included cosmetics, attacks, and accessories.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC, and the free Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode) character is live for everyone with the game.
