Naruto Mythos TCG Roadmap: Set 2, Set 3, and What’s Next

※本ページはプロモーションが含まれます

If you just finished cracking packs of Konoha Shidō and are wondering what’s coming next, CICABOOM has already answered that question in public: Set 2, “Shinobi Shiren,” is confirmed for a European pre-release on August 28-30, 2026 and a global-ish rollout through the fall, followed by Set 3, “Akatsuki,” which is when the game actually goes worldwide — landing in the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, and South Africa for the first time. Layered on top of that, the Organized Play program is building toward its first Regional Championships and a March 2027 European Championship. Here’s the full official roadmap, sourced from CICABOOM’s own announcements, as of August 5, 2026.

Quick disambiguation for anyone who lands here from a search engine: this article covers Naruto Mythos TCG, the physical card game published by Italy-based CICABOOM Srl, whose first set (Konoha Shidō) released in Europe in March 2026. It is a completely different product from BANDAI’s NARUTO CARD GAME, which was announced in June 2026 and isn’t releasing until 2027 — if you’re not sure which game you’re reading about, check out Naruto Card Game vs. Naruto Mythos TCG: Don’t Mix Them Up first.

The set roadmap so far: three sets confirmed for 2026

CICABOOM’s official roadmap page frames the plan around three pillars — “Build. Collect. Compete.” — and lays out set releases through the end of 2026:

• Set 1 — Konoha Shidō (1st Edition): Released March 13, 2026, described by CICABOOM as “the official beginning of the Mythos era.” Europe/UK/Turkey/MENA only.
• Set 1 — Konoha Shidō (2nd Edition): Released May 2026, adding a new Itachi & Sasuke starter pack and four Team Sets.
• Set 2 — Shinobi Shiren: Pre-release August 28-30, 2026; official European release September 4, 2026. Available in both 1st and 2nd Edition print runs from the outset.
• Set 3 — Akatsuki: Pre-release November 7, 2026; official release November 13, 2026. This is the set CICABOOM has explicitly tied to the brand’s global expansion.

A few things stand out here that are worth flagging rather than glossing over. First, the numbering: CICABOOM releases each set as a “1st Edition” print run followed by a “2nd Edition” reprint wave a couple of months later, similar in spirit to how some TCGs handle unlimited reprints after a limited first run — collectors chasing 1st Edition scarcity should watch release windows closely. Second, the US/Canada/Mexico/Caribbean region is getting Set 2 later and thinner than Europe: CICABOOM’s own territory announcement says the new regions will initially receive only booster displays during the Set 2 wave, with limited quantities of Set 1 2nd Edition boxes going to approved Organized Play stores in the meantime. If you’re in North America, Set 3 in November is the point where you’re on equal footing with European players for the first time.

What’s new in Set 2: Shinobi Shiren

Beyond the release dates, CICABOOM has confirmed a handful of concrete details about Shinobi Shiren:

• Two Gold Cards instead of one. Konoha Shidō shipped with a single 22-karat gold, micro-engraved, individually numbered Legendary card. Set 2 doubles that to two Gold Cards, reportedly featuring Rock Lee and Sasuke.
• New rarity tiers. CICABOOM’s announcement says the set introduces “several new rarity levels…across the entire set,” on top of Konoha Shidō’s existing Common, Uncommon, Rare, Secret Rare, and Legendary tiers (each with Normal, Full Art, and Holographic variants).
• New original illustrations and “new gameplay combinations.” No specific new mechanic names or keyword abilities have been published yet — treat any archetype or card-name speculation you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until CICABOOM’s own card previews go up.
• A second product wave on October 16, 2026 bringing additional special packs and Team Sets, mirroring how Konoha Shidō got its 2nd Edition follow-up.

If you’ve been through a Konoha Shidō pre-release, the format should feel familiar — CICABOOM is running the same play-a-week-early structure at participating hobby shops rather than introducing a new event type.

Once Shinobi Shiren product is actually shipping to your region, you’ll typically see it sold as Naruto Mythos TCG – Shinobi Shiren Booster Box alongside individual starter packs — worth comparing per-pack pricing between the two before committing to a box.

Set 3: Akatsuki and the jump to Shippuden

Set 3 is the more structurally significant release on the roadmap, for two reasons. First, it’s the game’s first Shippuden-era set, introducing the Akatsuki organization, adult character designs, and — per CICABOOM — “deeper deck-building possibilities” as the roster widens beyond the Academy-era cast of Konoha Shidō. Second, and more important for anyone outside Europe, it’s the set where CICABOOM says the brand “goes global”: the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, and South Africa join the game’s existing EU/UK/Turkey/MENA territories, and CICABOOM has stated that starting with Set 3 it will move to a synchronized global release schedule instead of the staggered, region-by-region rollout Sets 1 and 2 used.

Practically, that means if you’re a North American player who’s been buying Konoha Shidō and Shinobi Shiren through importers or limited early-access allocations, Set 3 in November 2026 is when you’ll be able to walk into a local approved store and pick up product on the same day as everyone else. It’s also the first real test of whether CICABOOM’s production can keep pace with demand at true global scale — worth watching for restock and shortage reports once November hits.

When Akatsuki does land at retail, expect it in the usual formats — booster packs, booster boxes like Naruto Mythos TCG – Akatsuki Booster Box, and likely a themed starter product, based on how CICABOOM structured the first two sets.

How the Organized Play program is expected to progress

CICABOOM’s Organized Play (OP) announcement lays out a tiered structure that’s designed to grow alongside the set releases rather than launch fully formed:

Stores register for OP status through TopDeck.gg (narutomythos.com’s official application link), and once approved get added to CICABOOM’s official store map and receive event kits. As of this writing, CICABOOM has confirmed the existence of the Regional Championship and European Championship tiers but has not published venue, date, or format details beyond “March 2027” for the European Championship — treat that date as a target, not a lock, the way you would any pre-release TCG schedule.

There’s also a free online simulator (narutomythos.com/play) running ranked matchmaking with an ELO system across eight league tiers, from Academy Student up to Sage of Six Paths — useful if you want to learn the game or test decks between paper events, though it’s a separate, unofficial-adjacent tool rather than part of the sanctioned OP ladder itself.

What returning and new players should actually expect

If you played Konoha Shidō and are wondering whether Set 2 changes the game underneath you: based on what CICABOOM has published, no core rules overhaul has been announced. What’s confirmed is new card pool (Shinobi Shiren’s “new gameplay combinations”), new rarity tiers, and a second Gold Card. If you’re brand new and were waiting to jump in with Set 3 because that’s when North America gets full retail access, know going in that you’ll be starting your collection two sets behind European players in terms of total available card pool — not a huge gap by TCG standards, but worth knowing if you care about being competitive at a Regional the moment they’re announced.

Naruto Mythos TCG roadmap at a glance

Frequently asked questions

When does Naruto Mythos TCG Set 2 release?
Shinobi Shiren’s pre-release runs August 28-30, 2026 at participating hobby shops, with the official European release on September 4, 2026. North America gets a more limited rollout during the same window — mainly booster displays through Organized Play stores — with full parity arriving alongside Set 3 in November.

What’s confirmed about Naruto Mythos TCG Set 3?
Set 3, titled Akatsuki, is scheduled for pre-release November 7, 2026 and official release November 13, 2026. It introduces the Shippuden-era Akatsuki organization and adult-design characters, and CICABOOM has confirmed it’s the point where the game synchronizes to a single global release schedule and expands into the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, and South Africa for the first time.

Is there a Naruto Mythos TCG competitive circuit?
Yes. The Organized Play program runs Pre-Release Events, Weekly Tournaments, and Local Regionals (twice per set cycle) at approved local game stores now, with Regional Championships and a first European Championship — targeted for March 2027 — announced as future tiers. Stores apply for OP status through TopDeck.gg.

Is Naruto Mythos TCG the same as BANDAI’s Naruto Card Game?
No. They’re separate, unrelated, officially licensed products from different companies. Naruto Mythos TCG is published by Italy’s CICABOOM Srl and is already releasing sets. BANDAI’s NARUTO CARD GAME was announced in June 2026 and won’t fully release until 2027. See Naruto Mythos TCG: A Getting-Started Guide for New Players if you want the basics on Mythos specifically before jumping into the roadmap.

Do I need to own Set 1 to play Set 2 or Set 3?
CICABOOM hasn’t published a rotation or banned-card policy, so as of this writing all released sets appear to remain legal together in Organized Play. That said, official confirmation of a long-term format structure (standard vs. legacy pools, for example) hasn’t been made yet — worth rechecking as the card pool grows past three sets.

The takeaway

CICABOOM has been unusually transparent for a TCG this early in its life: exact pre-release and release dates for two future sets, a named path from casual play to a European Championship, and an explicit admission that North America is getting a staggered, thinner rollout until Set 3 syncs everyone up in November 2026. None of that is speculation — it’s what the roadmap and territory announcements actually say. The open questions are the ones any new TCG has at this stage: how the card pool balances once Shippuden-era characters show up, whether production keeps up with a five-new-territory global launch, and whether “March 2027” for the European Championship holds once a venue actually gets announced. Bookmark the official roadmap and check back before making travel or preorder plans around any of these dates.
