NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., announced today
that NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress will launch
exclusively for the PSP this summer in North America. Developed by
CyberConnect2, NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress continues

rated T for Teens, from VIZ Media, as well as a roster of more than 20

The storyline of NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2:
The Phantom Fortress revolves around a mysterious phantom castle that has
suddenly appeared over the Hidden Leaf Village, draining the townspeople’s life
energy. When Naruto infiltrates the castle to find out who is behind this
terrible scheme, he finds himself confronted with threatening illusions, visions
of the past and a strange masked woman with a vendetta against the Leaf Ninja.
Joined by his friends, it will take all of Naruto’s courage to unravel the
puzzle behind the castle and defeat this powerful new enemy.
