Ubisoft announced that they have signed a licensing agreement with VIZ Media, LLC, the creators of Shonen Jump’s Naruto animation franchise, to develop video games based on the series. The game will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and hit stores sometime in 2007.
This will be Ubisoft’s first endeavor to develop a game based on a Japanese property. Naruto anime is currently a very successful franchise on the Cartoon Network in the US.
