Bandai has announced Premier Demo Events for the NARUTO CARD GAME at 10 stores across Japan, with dates running from January 16, 2027 to March 21, 2027. Participants try the game with demo decks, receive the CP-001 Chakra Card, and can buy two products with priority.

The announcement comes from the Japanese official site. The Asia English page gives a different, vaguer picture: an early-January event period (planned), with details and locations coming soon.

How to Apply for the Demo Events via BANDAI TCG+

You must apply in advance through the BANDAI TCG+ app. Set the game title to NARUTO CARD GAME so the events show up.

Each wave has its own application window and winner announcement:

  • January events: Tuesday December 1 – Sunday December 20; winners announced Friday December 25
  • February events: Friday December 25 – Monday January 11 (national holiday); winners announced Friday January 15
  • March events: Monday February 1 – Sunday February 14; winners announced Friday February 19

The English page also requires a face photo registered in the app beforehand. Your profile must show "Face Photo Verified" during the application period, and verification may take one week or longer.

Minors cannot register a face photo but can still take part using their account.

Demo Decks and the CP-001 Chakra Card

Each participant plays one of two demo decks: the Uzumaki Naruto Deck or the Uchiha Sasuke Deck. The decks cannot be taken home.

The participation gift is the CP-001 Chakra Card. According to the English page, only attendees who complete the survey after the Tutorial Session receive it.

Premium Card Collection vol.00 -Chakra Set- and Playmat Prices

Two products are sold with priority to event participants, each limited to one per person:

  • Premium Card Collection vol.00 -Chakra Set-: ¥1,650 tax included (about $10.52)
  • Official Playmat Naruto vs. Sasuke: ¥3,850 tax included (about $24.55)

The dollar amounts are TCGKing's approximate conversions, not official prices.

The products are the Japanese version and still under development, so the final design may differ. Stock is limited, and accepted payment methods vary by store.

The sources disagree on availability: the Japanese page says the products will also be sold outside this event, while the English page says purchase is for event participants only.

How the Events Tie Into the June Launch

The Asia English page lists the official release as June.

TCGKing has also covered the game's June 2027 worldwide launch and the earlier CP-001 Chakra Card gift at autumn European shows.

What it means for players

  • Check the application window for your chosen store, since each wave has different dates.
  • Register a face photo early, because verification can take a week or longer.
  • Merchandise is capped at one of each product per person.

What is still unknown

  • The exact release date: the Asia page gives only "June", with no day.
  • Whether any events will be held outside Japan.
  • The contents of the Chakra Set.
  • Whether and when the products will be sold outside the events.
