Bandai Namco Denies That AI Was Used For Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

After a string of mixed reviews, complaints, and rumors about Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Bandai Namco’s latest Naruto arena fighting game, the publisher has released a statement to IGN via a spokesperson regarding the rumors. The spokesperson claimed that the publisher is working to fix the voices in the game and denied that AI was used in the production process for the voiceover lines. It claims that the poor quality was a result of “inconsistencies during the editing and mastering process.” Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS launched on November 17 and is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

A snippet of the statement reads:

“Regarding the reports about several voice over lines in Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Bandai Namco Entertainment can confirm that the lines in question were not AI generated, but the result of inconsistencies during the editing and mastering process. We regret that this raised a concern with Naruto fans and the voice acting community. We are currently working to fix the voice lines in question, which will be patched in the near future.”

 

The game’s details:

From the formation of Team 7 and Chunin Exams to the Five Kage Summit and Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS highlights many of Naruto‘s story arcs. Featuring the game series’ trademark cinematic fights and true-to-anime visuals, and an all-new simple control style for newcomers, fans can go head-to-head in up-to-3v3 team-based combat, where tactical thinking, swift attacks, and overwhelmingly powerful Jutsus will determine victory. The game features the largest playable roster in a Naruto game with over 130 fighters to choose from. Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS also features a unique in-game story where Naruto’s son Boruto must stop the threat of the Fifth Great Ninja War from breaking out. The experience is enhanced with localized voice-over in multiple languages with Japanese, English, Neutral Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
