This was the last Naruto game to be developed by Ubisoft before Namco Bandai decided to make the Ultimate Ninja Storm for multiplatform consoles instead of being a PlayStation 3 exclusive, starting with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. The bonus variations were Taijutsu Jumpsuit Naruto Uzumaki, Anbu Itachi, Level 2 Curse Mark Sasuke Uchiha, and One-Tailed Naruto the DLC character was Chūnin Exams Sasuke. Also, there are now 30 characters to choose from, 28 different characters, one DLC character, and four bonus variations. The online format has been overhauled with a new ranking system, and the fighting system has been greatly tweaked. The developers for The Broken Bond have also decided to keep the multiplayer system like Rise of a Ninja but have improved upon it in several ways. Within the adventure mode, there are now over 70 unique character models. Unlike the previous game, where the cutscenes were 2D, The Broken Bond now has 3D cinematics. The lighting of the game was improved to complement the dynamic story, adding a new casting system and allowing the creation of maps with a more watercolor feel. The environments were a big part of the first game, and one of the things they wanted to make sure was that the environments in The Broken Bond would support the exploration factor by being very “rich and dense”. The art direction of the sequel was definitely one of the biggest factors taken into consideration for the development of this new game. According to team member Masao Kobayashi, the developers wanted to bring something new to the franchise while still keeping the same feel of the anime that the first game had. The game was first revealed at the E3 2008 Convention, although work on it had started before the release of the first game.
