The Naruto franchise has scheduled a major announcement for a panel at New York Comic Con on October 10, 2026. Titled “NARUTO: What’s Next?”, the event is expected to present a roadmap for the future of the franchise at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Viz Media has confirmed that the announcement is expected to involve a new Naruto animated film, potentially including a worldwide premiere of footage. Industry speculation suggests this film may be a restructuring of the previously announced 20th-anniversary revival series—which focused on the early days of Team 7—that had been placed on an indefinite hiatus during production. Because the revival was originally planned as a limited four-episode series, observers suggest the project may have been transitioned into a feature-length film.

The upcoming panel will feature Japanese voice actors Junko Takeuchi (Naruto Uzumaki) and Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke Uchiha), alongside Studio Pierrot executive producer Yoshihiko Tominaga and a representative from Bandai Namco Entertainment. In addition to the film news, the event is expected to include the release of the first promotional video for the Naruto Card Game.
