Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is a game in development by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco-Bandai games. It is slated for release in Spring 2013 for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. The game will start with a flashback from the beginning of the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha and then start with the Five Kage Summit Arc all the way to an unknown point in the Shinobi World War Arc.
Development
Namco Bandai stated that the game will feature a 'more profound' story and a combat system that is 'aimed to further evolution'. Boss battles will also make their return to the game. It is also confirmed that players can go into awakening mode at any point during the battle, even in the middle of a combo. The game will also have the return of missions in Konoha during story mode. The story mode will also feature "hack and slash" battles, similar to Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Impact. There will be a new system known as "The Ultimate Decision", where players will be able to follow different paths in the game.
