October 10 at NYCC: The Reveal Singapore Fans Have Been Waiting For<\/h2>\n

The panel runs on Saturday, October 10 at 5:00 PM ET at the Empire Stage. VIZ Media confirmed two special guests: Junko Takeuchi<\/strong>, the Japanese voice of Naruto Uzumaki, and Noriaki Sugiyama<\/strong>, the Japanese voice of Sasuke Uchiha \u2014 both reprising their roles since the original 2002 broadcast. The panel description promises attendees an exclusive look at “what’s next for Naruto,” covering the anime, the Naruto Card Game, and “other exciting new projects,” capped off with “the new roadmap for the future of the Naruto universe.”<\/p>\n

The last time both iconic VAs appeared together for an official announcement was rare \u2014 their inclusion signals that at least some of what gets announced on October 10 will be anime content, not just merchandise or card games.<\/p>\n

What TV Tokyo Already Confirmed: 2027 Is a New Beginning<\/h2>\n

The countdown is not appearing out of thin air. Earlier this month, Japanese broadcaster TV Tokyo laid out its intentions in a financial briefing: the company is “positioning the 25th anniversary as the beginning of a new stage”<\/strong> for the Naruto franchise, with new video content and games \u2014 developed with new partners \u2014 scheduled to launch starting in 2027.<\/p>\n

Naruto’s anime first broadcast in Japan on October 3, 2002 \u2014 making 2027 the 25th anniversary year. TV Tokyo noted that Naruto consistently drove the company’s highest anime rights revenue<\/em> for the fiscal year ending March 2026, outperforming even its sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Treating 2027 as a relaunch moment, not just a milestone, makes commercial sense for a franchise that still commands massive global viewership.<\/p>\n
