Premier Demo Events Begin (In-Store Demos at Participating TCG Stores)

BANDAI's official press release of October 10, 2026 states "Starting in February 2027, NARUTO CARD GAME Premier Demo Events will be held at participating TCG stores." Until now the only places to actually play were convention tutorial sessions; from February 2027 that expands to participating TCG stores. These events are also named as a place to obtain the two exclusives (Official Playmat - NARUTO VS. SASUKE - and Premium Card Collection Vol.00 - CHAKRA Set). The start date, participating stores, format, eligibility and whether it runs in Japan are all unannounced. A campaign distributing a total of 1 million Demo Decks worldwide also begins in spring 2027.
