Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is a video game for the Xbox 360 that is currently under development by Ubisoft Montreal. The game will be specifically based off the English dubbed version of the anime Naruto, and is set to be released in North America in 2007. So far, no plans for a Japanese release have been announced. According the June 2007 edition of Monthly Shonen Jump, this game will include both an action-adventure single-player mode and versus multiplayer. The newly released trailer also hints toward online play with Xbox Live.[2]
Gameplay
The game itself is a RPG, where you'll be free to wander around villages and talk to NPCs. It will feature elements from the Prince of Persia series, like jumping acrobatically from rooftop to rooftop, as well as having one-on-one brawls much like the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series. Like with most Naruto games, it will feature cel-shaded graphics.
