Bandai Namco has released DLC 50 for Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, adding Kabuto Yakushi in Sage Mode through a free update. The new master character became available on November 13, 2026, giving players another powerful option for the game’s online ninja battles. The announcement was made by Bandai Namco Entertainment America, with the release also confirmed through the publisher’s official update notes.
Kabuto joins the roster as a Heal Type character, using abilities inspired by the perfected Sage powers he acquired during the Fourth Great Ninja War. His moveset includes Sage Art: White Extreme Attack and Strange Transmission Distant Shadow, alongside the Secret Technique Sage Art: Inorganic Animation.
The update is part of the game’s continuing Season Pass 10 content rollout, which is adding new master characters and abilities to the multiplayer action game.
DLC 50 includes new costumes, weapons, and avatar rewards
Beyond Kabuto’s combat abilities, DLC 50 introduces several customization options for players’ original ninja avatars. The additions include both the Sage Mode and younger versions of Kabuto’s outfit for male and female avatars, along with two matching hairstyles.
Players can also unlock Kabuto’s Serpent weapon and the honorary title The Way of the Sage. These rewards give fans additional ways to incorporate the character’s appearance and identity into their custom shinobi.
Season Pass 10 owners also receive a bonus Secret Technique called Majestic Attire: Susano’o, which can be used by both Attack and Defense Type characters. The ability is separate from Kabuto’s individual training rewards.
The game’s Scroll Lineup is receiving additional equipment as well. The SS+ Divine Blade Ame-no-Minaka is available from November 13, while the Karasu-dachi Usumidori and Passion Gear Power of Youth are scheduled to arrive during winter.
Obito Uchiha (Rampaging) is the next DLC character
Bandai Namco has also offered an early look at the next master character coming to Shinobi Striker. Obito Uchiha (Rampaging) is scheduled to join the roster this winter as Special Master-Ninjutsu Training Vol. 51.
Obito’s arrival will continue Season Pass 10, which includes four master character training packs, numbered 48 through 51. Kabuto is the third master in that lineup, following Jiraiya (Sage Mode) and Naruto Uzumaki (Sage Mode).
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker remains available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC through Steam, with compatibility for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game features 4-versus-4 online battles across modes such as Flag Battles, Barrier Battles, and Base Battles. Its movement system also includes wall-running, chakra jumping, and kunai grappling, allowing teams to use the arenas’ vertical environments during combat.
