If you're trying to work out how many Naruto Mythos sets there are, what order they release in, and when the next one drops, the official information is scattered across roadmap posts and press releases. This is the full set list in one place — every confirmed 2026 set in order, with release dates, card counts, and an honest answer on what Australian collectors can actually buy.
Quick Answer: Naruto Mythos TCG (by Italian publisher Cicaboom) has three sets confirmed for 2026: Set 1 — Konoha Shidō (152 cards, released March 2026), Set 2 — Shinobi Shiren (Summer 2026), and Set 3 — Akatsuki (Fall 2026, which introduces Naruto Shippuden and begins the game's global rollout). It is not sold in Australia yet. If you want Naruto cards you can buy in Australia right now, KAYOU Naruto is the line that's actually stocked here — and it's a completely different product (collectibles, not a playable game).
Naruto Mythos TCG Set List at a Glance
Here's the full confirmed 2026 set list in release order:
| # | Set name | Release | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set 1 | Konoha Shidō | March 2026 (1st Ed.) · May 2026 (2nd Ed.) | The launch set — 152 cards |
| Set 2 | Shinobi Shiren | Summer 2026 (September) | New original illustrations, expanded mechanics |
| Set 3 | Akatsuki | Fall 2026 | Adds Naruto Shippuden · begins global rollout |
Each set ships in both First Edition and Second Edition formats. First Edition print runs are the ones that carry the scarcest serialised cards, so the edition matters if you're collecting rather than just playing — more on that below.
A note on naming before we go further: Naruto Mythos is a genuine trading card game — it has rules, deck-building, and organised play. That makes it different from KAYOU Naruto, which is a collectible card line with no gameplay at all. The two share the Naruto licence and nothing else. If that distinction is new to you, is KAYOU Naruto a TCG or just collectibles? explains it properly.
Set 1 — Konoha Shidō (March 2026)
Konoha Shidō is the launch set and takes the game straight into the Hidden Leaf Village. The First Edition released on 13 March 2026 across Europe, the UK, Turkey, and the MENA region.
The core set contains 152 cards, spread across a deep rarity ladder:
- Common and Uncommon — the playable backbone of the set.
- Rare and ART Rare — ART Rares carry a micro-engraved holographic finish and are where casual collectors start paying attention.
- Secret — the standard premium chase, featuring the major characters in golden and holographic treatments.
- Secret Variant — serialised, very limited cards tied to the First Edition print run only.
- Legendary — a single card finished in genuine 22-karat gold foil, with a print run of roughly 2,000 English copies worldwide. This is the headline chase of the entire set.
- Mythos promo cards — distributed only through events, tournaments, and promotions, never pulled from retail packs.
For a full breakdown of how those tiers rank against each other and which cards collectors are hunting hardest, see our Naruto Mythos rarest cards guide.
Set 1 Second Edition & Starter Products (May 2026)
In May 2026, Cicaboom followed the launch with a Second Edition print of Konoha Shidō plus new entry products — most notably an Itachi & Sasuke Starter Pack and four Team Sets built around groups of characters.
The key thing to understand here is the edition split. The Second Edition reprints the set so more players can get into the game, but the serialised Secret Variant cards from First Edition are not reprinted in Second Edition product. If you're collecting the scarcest cards rather than just playing, confirmed First Edition product is what you want — once First Edition sells through, those serialised cards only exist on the secondary market.
The starter and team products are aimed at new players who want a ready-to-play entry point rather than cracking sealed boosters in the hope of building a deck.
Set 2 — Shinobi Shiren (Summer 2026)
The second main expansion, Shinobi Shiren, is scheduled for Summer 2026 — September, per Cicaboom's latest posts. It brings new original illustrations (rather than recycled key art) and expanded gameplay mechanics that build on the Konoha Shidō foundation.
Like Set 1, Shinobi Shiren is planned in both First and Second Edition formats. As release dates for new TCG sets routinely move, treat September as the current target and confirm against the official site before pre-ordering.
Set 3 — Akatsuki & the Global / Naruto Shippuden Expansion (Fall 2026)
Set 3, Akatsuki, is the most significant release on the roadmap and is slated for Fall 2026. Two things make it a turning point:
- It introduces Naruto Shippuden — the time-skip era of the series, which means the Akatsuki organisation, adult-design characters, and a much wider roster than the academy-era Konoha Shidō.
- It begins the game's global rollout. Cicaboom has framed Set 3 as the point where Naruto Mythos "goes global," expanding beyond the original EU/UK/Turkey/MENA launch territories.
That second point is the one Australian collectors should watch most closely — it's the first concrete signal of distribution widening beyond the launch regions.
Beyond 2026: Championships, New Languages & International Rollout
Looking further out, Cicaboom's roadmap points to:
- A first European Championship in March 2027 — the start of organised competitive play.
- New language versions and broader international expansion through 2027.
For a collectible card line this matters because organised play and wider distribution both tend to deepen secondary-market demand for the scarcest cards from the earliest sets — the serialised First Edition pieces from Konoha Shidō in particular.
Can You Buy Naruto Mythos in Australia Yet?
Not through official local channels — at least not yet. The 2026 launch was scoped to Europe, the UK, Turkey, and MENA. There is no confirmed Australian release date for Konoha Shidō or any later set.
The most realistic signal for Australian availability is the Set 3 (Akatsuki) global rollout in Fall 2026 and the broader international expansion flagged for 2027 — but neither has been pinned to a specific AU launch, so don't treat them as a promise. If you're set on Mythos specifically, check Cicaboom's official site for your region rather than relying on third-party claims, and read our where to buy Naruto Mythos in Australia guide for the import realities.
Naruto Mythos vs KAYOU Naruto — What AU Collectors Can Buy Now
If you found this page while searching for Naruto cards to actually buy, here's the honest framing: the Naruto card product with real Australian availability today is KAYOU Naruto — and it is a fundamentally different thing from Mythos.
- Naruto Mythos is a playable TCG — rules, deck-building, organised play, designed to be a game.
- KAYOU Naruto is a collectible card line — there's no gameplay, no deck-building, no tournaments. It exists to be collected, opened, and chased.
Neither is "better" — they serve different itches. If you want a game, Mythos is what you're after and you'll need to import for now. If you want the opening-and-collecting experience with serialised chase cards you can buy in Australia today, KAYOU is the line. The full breakdown lives at Naruto Mythos vs KAYOU Naruto.
For KAYOU specifically, the Jin Chapter range holds the deepest chase tiers, with the newest set covered in our Jin Chapter Series 3 guide. Browse the full sealed range at all booster boxes, or start smaller with booster packs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Naruto Mythos TCG sets are there in 2026?
Three sets are confirmed for 2026: Set 1 — Konoha Shidō (March 2026), Set 2 — Shinobi Shiren (Summer 2026, targeting September), and Set 3 — Akatsuki (Fall 2026). Konoha Shidō also has both a First Edition (March) and a Second Edition (May) print. Each set is released in First and Second Edition formats.
When does Naruto Mythos Set 2 (Shinobi Shiren) release?
Shinobi Shiren is scheduled for Summer 2026, with September named in Cicaboom's latest posts. It adds new original illustrations and expanded gameplay mechanics. As with most TCG release dates, it can shift — confirm against the official Naruto Mythos site before pre-ordering.
What is Naruto Mythos Set 3 (Akatsuki)?
Akatsuki is the third Naruto Mythos set, planned for Fall 2026. It's the biggest milestone on the roadmap because it introduces the Naruto Shippuden era (and the Akatsuki organisation) and marks the point where Cicaboom begins taking the game global, expanding beyond the original EU/UK/Turkey/MENA launch territories.
How many cards are in Naruto Mythos Set 1?
Set 1, Konoha Shidō, contains 152 cards in the core set. They span Common, Uncommon, Rare, ART Rare, Secret, and serialised Secret Variant tiers, topped by a single 22-karat-gold Legendary card (roughly 2,000 English copies). Event-only Mythos promo cards sit outside the retail pull pool.
Can you buy Naruto Mythos cards in Australia?
Not through official local distribution yet. The 2026 launch covered Europe, the UK, Turkey, and MENA, and there is no confirmed Australian release date. The Set 3 global rollout (Fall 2026) and international expansion flagged for 2027 are the signals to watch. For now, importing is the only route — see our Naruto Mythos Australia guide.
Is Naruto Mythos the same as KAYOU Naruto cards?
No — they're completely different products. Naruto Mythos is a playable trading card game by Cicaboom (Italy), built around gameplay and deck-building. KAYOU Naruto is a collectible card line with no gameplay at all — it exists purely for collecting. They share the Naruto licence and nothing else, and only KAYOU Naruto is sold in Australia right now.
