Free Nanashi Uchiha DLC appeared for Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. We can start using the new character from the Boruto storyline era on every platform after downloading a free update. That patch also features bug fixes, some rebalancing, and both Ninja Battle and Special Challenge updates. 

Nanashi Uchiha came up during the Special Story Mode of Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. After the trailer reminded us about its features at the 45 seconds into the video, it got into what we can expect from the new playable character at about the 1:10 mark. We could see her standard attacks, Flame Control and fire jutsu, and Mangekyo Sharingan specials. 

Here’s the full Nanashi Uchiha DLC trailer showing how she’ll work in the game.

She follows characters like Karma Progression versions of Boruto and Kawaki.

An update schedule appearing alongside the reveal also promised another new character and additions in Winter 2026 and Spring 2027. The more recent one will feature some “online features.” The next unit will show up in Spring 2027.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections and the Nanashi Uchiha DLC are on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The anime series is on the Crunchyroll, and Viz Media handles the Naruto and Boruto manga adaptations.
