NARUTO Mythos, a trading card game that launched in Europe earlier this year, is set to arrive in the United States for the first time, with fans getting an early look at San Diego Comic-Con. The game will be exclusively handled in the US by distributor Zvezdar, which is expanding into the American market, marking a significant step in the franchise's international rollout ahead of its official North American launch.
At Comic-Con, attendees can play free hands-on demos at a booth in the Marriott hotel and receive a free promotional card, while booster boxes will be available to buy for the first time at the Rocketship booth on the main convention floor, also with a bonus promo card while stocks last. The first official set, Konoha Shidō, will hold pre-release events across the US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean from 29 August, and organisers say a professional competitive programme is also being developed for North America as part of a wider global roadmap.

Zvezdar is the distributor handling the game in the US, while the first set, Konoha Shidō, is planned for release across North America and nearby regions.
