Before the first set: Naruto’s official playmat appears at seven Asian BCG Fest stops

The wait for the first NARUTO CARD GAME set now extends beyond card previews. The official “Arriving in 2027” playmat appears on the product pages for seven Asian stops of BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26–27. Next on that itinerary is Manila on October 24–25, 2026.

This is new coverage of prelaunch distribution on NarutoMarket, not the announcement of a newly designed playmat or another expansion. We checked the official listings and event calendars on October 17. For collectors, the useful distinction is between a documented product listing and a guaranteed opportunity to obtain it.

The playmat carrying the launch message

The full product name is NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-. Its promotional image places Naruto and Sasuke beside the game logo in an orange, grey and white design. The original SAMPLE marking remains visible: this is the organiser’s promotional image, not our photograph of a purchased copy.

The Manila listing specifies one playmat. It does not advertise cards, a booster box or a deck as included contents. An accessory can accompany the game’s promotional tour without revealing anything about the first set’s card list.

Seven official catalogues, with Manila coming next

We verified product pages for the following cities. These are event dates, not assurances of stock throughout each event:

• Jakarta: October 10–11, 2026; this event has ended.
• Manila: October 24–25, 2026.
• Bangkok: November 21–22, 2026.
• Hong Kong: November 28–29, 2026.
• Singapore: December 5–6, 2026.
• Kuala Lumpur: December 12–13, 2026.
• Taipei: December 19–20, 2026.

According to its official event page, Manila takes place at One Ayala Mall in Makati. Check entry and sales arrangements before travelling. The October 9 merchandise notice sets out general arrangements by game and day but does not specify the sales day for this Naruto playmat. Availability for a particular session therefore remains unconfirmed.

A different product from “Naruto vs. Sasuke”

The two names are easy to confuse. “Arriving in 2027” is the model on the Asian pages checked here. “NARUTO vs. SASUKE” is a separate playmat introduced among the early products associated with Premier Demo. They have different names and images; treating them as the same edition would obscure what collectors are actually looking at.

The Premium Chakra Card Collection vol.00 is a card product, separate from both mats. Our Premier Demo and early products report explains the announced context and conditions. Shared characters and a shared campaign do not make these accessories and collections the first booster.

Has the first set received another reveal?

Our review found no later official reveal expanding its card list. The announced launch products remain Booster Pack 01 “Enter: NARUTO UZUMAKI!” and the Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara Starter Decks, with a worldwide launch planned for June 2027. See our first booster report and three Starter Decks introduction for the verified details.

As of this check, we have not located an official complete card list, box quantities or rarity rates to fill those gaps. The Asian playmat listings also do not give a local price. Prices from other territories and resale listings should not be presented as local official pricing.

What collectors can use this information for

The listings provide a concrete reference for documenting the game’s early accessories. Keep the full model name and source when comparing photographs or listings: “Naruto playmat” alone is not a precise product identifier.

The pages warn of limited quantities and possible changes but provide no print-run figure. A listing at a past event does not establish how many copies sold, and these pages do not confirm international shipping. Keeping those limits visible makes the early history of the game more useful to follow.
