Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, known in Japan as Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Storm 3, is a fighting game developed by CyberConnect2 as part of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja video game series which is based on the Naruto manga by Masashi Kishimoto.

The game will offer over 80-88 playable characters including several new, making it the largest cast in the Ultimate Ninja series. The fighting system is said to have been modified, with the Awakening Mode, a state that gave each character enhanced abilities when their health was low, being possible to be used at anytime during a fight. However, the Awakening Mode can only be used once per battle. As in the previous games, the player can choose two characters to assist the player character in battle. The assisting characters now can also aid the playable one through the use of thirteen different types of combos. Additionally, the assistants have health bars, losing health whenever they get hit, ultimately being unusable when their health bars deplete. Several arenas have become interactive, making the player automatically lose a fight if they leave a specific area.

The story mode will be similar to the ones from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 rather than the previous game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations as it will feature boss battles that include quick time events and require the use of strategies to defeat the opponent. The plot will start following the ending of Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 but it will first focus on the Nine-Tailed Fox attack to Konohagakure (The Hidden Leaf) with the player first controlling the characters defending the village. From then the game will also cover the events from the series' world war adapting most episodes aired on television by the time the game is released. It will also include the "Ultimate Decision Mode" which will give the option to change the result of the battles, resulting in alternative storylines.
