Namco Bandai has announced that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 will be released on the 360 and PS3 on October 15th. There will be both standard and collector’s editions available at launch. The CE includes an individually numbered Laser Cell artwork of “Hokage Naruto”, drawn by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto. Apparently he’s doing it to mark the 10th anniversary of the series’ first appearance in Shonen Jump magazine. The CE also has a soundtrack CD, a DLC card which gives instant access to Minato and a different retail box.
A demo of the game will be released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on August 25th. Namco also confirmed that Lars Alexandersson from Tekken 6 will make a playable appearance. He will be in his full Tekken 6 regalia, but this time he’s going to be designed by Kishimoto.
