Naruto TCG News: Official Sources to Follow in 2026

※本ページはプロモーションが含まれます

There are two separate, officially licensed Naruto trading card games launching right now, run by two completely different companies with two completely different sets of social accounts — and that’s exactly the setup a lot of fan-run “leak” pages exploit for clicks. The short answer: for BANDAI’s NARUTO CARD GAME, trust naruto-cardgame.com and the @narutotcg_eng accounts; for Naruto Mythos TCG, trust narutotcgmythos.com and CICABOOM Srl’s own Instagram/Facebook/YouTube. Everything else — including plenty of well-meaning fan accounts — should be treated as secondary commentary, not confirmation. Here’s the full list, as of August 5, 2026.

Why this is confusing right now

Both games are mid-launch at the same time, which means both have active hype cycles, both have fans posting “reveals” that are sometimes just re-shared official material and sometimes genuine leaks, and both share enough surface-level similarity (Naruto characters, chakra mechanics, booster packs) that search results and social feeds blend them together. We’ve broken down how the two games differ mechanically in Naruto Card Game vs. Naruto Mythos TCG: Don’t Mix Them Up — this article is about the separate problem of figuring out who to actually follow for accurate updates on either one.

BANDAI’s NARUTO CARD GAME: confirmed official channels

BANDAI CARD GAMES has been consistent about pointing fans to a specific set of accounts since the June 18, 2026 announcement. These are confirmed live and active as of this writing:

• Official website: naruto-cardgame.com/en — the news hub (/en/news/article-list.php) is the single most reliable source, since it’s the same page BANDAI updates directly.
• X (Twitter): @narutotcg_eng — this is the account that posted live from the Gen Con 2026 booth (July 30 – August 2, Indiana Convention Center) and shared the reveal trailers.
• Instagram: @narutotcg_en
• Facebook: @narutotcgeng
• YouTube: @NARUTO_TCG_EN — where the July 29, 2026 “First Look” and “Overview” trailers were posted.
• BANDAI TCG+ app: BANDAI’s own companion app has a dedicated “NARUTO TCG Updates” channel fans can subscribe to for push notifications — useful if you don’t want to rely on any social platform’s algorithm to surface the news.

For press releases specifically, BANDAI CARD GAMES has issued its NARUTO CARD GAME announcements through PR Newswire, picked up from there by outlets like Anime News Network and ICv2. If you see a “BANDAI CARD GAMES” quote or press statement circulating, checking whether it traces back to a PR Newswire release is a fast way to confirm it’s real and not paraphrased or invented.

Naruto Mythos TCG: confirmed official channels

Naruto Mythos TCG is published by CICABOOM Srl, based in Genoa, Italy — a completely different company from BANDAI, with its own separate social presence. Per CICABOOM’s own press and media kit, the confirmed official channels are:

• Official website: narutotcgmythos.com — includes a dedicated news page, card gallery, store locator, and the official roadmap.
• Instagram: @narutomythostcg
• Facebook: Naruto Mythos TCG
• TikTok: @narutocardgame — yes, this is CICABOOM’s own official TikTok handle for Naruto Mythos TCG, and it’s easy to mistake for BANDAI’s product given the name. Worth remembering if you’re trying to keep the two games straight on that platform specifically.
• YouTube: @NarutoNinjaCardGame
• Press contact: info@narutotcgmythos.com

One caveat worth flagging: CICABOOM’s own press kit page doesn’t list an official X/Twitter account, even though an account called @NarutoMythosTCG is active and has been retweeting or referencing official material. Since the company’s own materials don’t confirm it, treat that X presence as a secondary channel at best and lean on the Instagram, Facebook, or website news page for anything you need to verify.

Press outlets that reliably cover both games

Beyond the official accounts, a handful of outlets have consistently covered both launches with sourced reporting rather than speculation — useful to bookmark if you want broader context than a single company’s own posts:

• Anime News Network — covered both the June 18 announcement and the July 29 mechanics reveal with direct sourcing.
• ICv2 — trade-press coverage aimed at game retailers, generally fast on official BANDAI CARD GAMES releases.
• PR Newswire — where BANDAI’s own press releases are published verbatim; useful as a primary-source check.
• Siliconera and TCGplayer’s editorial content — both sent coverage from the Gen Con 2026 floor.
• SNKRDUNK Magazine, Universe TCG, essential-japan.com, gamenguide.com, and sawadeekard.com — all published detailed recaps of the June announcement and/or the July reveal, generally citing BANDAI’s own materials rather than adding unverified claims.

If a story about either game doesn’t cite one of the official channels above or one of these outlets, treat it as unverified until you can trace it back further.

How to spot unofficial or rumor accounts

This is where most of the confusion actually happens, and it’s not always malicious — a lot of it is enthusiastic collector accounts posting real information a little too confidently, or ahead of an official confirmation. Some patterns to watch for:

• Collector/retailer accounts posting “reveals” before the source does. Accounts like Andy Collectz, The Card Vault UK, or Coasties Collectibles have genuinely broken real Naruto Mythos TCG details early (set names, promo card specs, pre-release dates) — but they’re independent enthusiasts and retailers, not CICABOOM or BANDAI. Their information has often turned out accurate, but it hasn’t gone through an official channel first, and dates they post can shift before the publisher confirms them. Treat these as “worth watching” tips, not confirmed facts, until the game’s own site or social accounts repeat them.
• Mismatched handles or spelling. BANDAI’s account is narutotcg_eng, not naruto_tcg, narutocardgameofficial, or similar variants — scammers and low-effort fan pages frequently register close lookalikes. Always tap through to the account’s bio and cross-check it against the official website’s linked social icons before trusting a post.
• “Pre-order now” pressure for products that don’t officially exist yet. As of this writing, BANDAI has not announced pricing, SKUs, or a specific 2027 release date for NARUTO CARD GAME beyond “Summer 2027” — any account pushing urgent preorder links for BANDAI’s game right now is, at best, jumping the gun, and at worst selling something that isn’t a real product. Naruto Mythos TCG does have real, purchasable sets (see the Naruto Mythos TCG Konoha Shido Starter Pack), so that distinction matters — know which game an urgent “buy now” post is actually about.
• No link back to the publisher’s own news page. Legitimate coverage, official or press, almost always links back to naruto-cardgame.com or narutotcgmythos.com somewhere. If a post makes a specific claim (a set name, a mechanic, a date) with no way to trace it to either site or a named outlet from the list above, treat it as a rumor until it’s independently confirmed.

Official channels at a glance

Frequently asked questions

Is there one official Twitter/X account for “Naruto TCG” that covers both games?
No. There is no single unified account. BANDAI’s NARUTO CARD GAME uses @narutotcg_eng on X; Naruto Mythos TCG, published separately by CICABOOM Srl, does not list an official X account in its own press materials as of this writing, and instead confirms Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube as its official channels.

Why does Naruto Mythos TCG’s TikTok handle say “@narutocardgame”?
That’s CICABOOM Srl’s own official TikTok handle for Naruto Mythos TCG, confirmed on its press kit page — it’s not a typo and it’s not BANDAI’s account, but it is easy to mix up given BANDAI’s product is literally called “NARUTO CARD GAME.” Always check the bio and pinned content, not just the handle.

Are fan accounts like collector or retailer pages reliable for Naruto TCG news?
Some have a solid track record of accurately breaking early details, particularly for Naruto Mythos TCG, but they aren’t the publisher and their posts haven’t gone through official confirmation. Treat their reports as early tips worth watching rather than confirmed facts until the official site or social accounts repeat the same information.

Where does BANDAI officially publish press releases about NARUTO CARD GAME?
Through PR Newswire, which is then picked up and reported on by outlets including Anime News Network, ICv2, and Siliconera. If a claimed BANDAI quote or announcement isn’t traceable to a PR Newswire release or the official naruto-cardgame.com news page, verify it before repeating it as fact.

Is Naruto Kayou covered by any of these official channels?
No. Naruto Kayou is an unrelated, unofficial line of Chinese-made collectible cards with no connection to BANDAI or CICABOOM Srl. It has its own collector community and secondary market but no official announcement channel comparable to the two licensed games covered here.

Takeaway

With two officially licensed Naruto card games launching around the same window, the fastest way to avoid getting misled is to bookmark the primary sources directly — naruto-cardgame.com and @narutotcg_eng for BANDAI’s game, narutotcgmythos.com and CICABOOM’s own Instagram/Facebook for Naruto Mythos TCG — and treat everything else, including well-informed fan accounts, as commentary layered on top of those sources rather than a replacement for them.
