Ubisoft Montreal scriptwriter, Kevin Shortt, made the following statement in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine, revealing that that Far Cry 3 is currently in development, though he isn’t working on the latest sequel himself. “No I’m not [working on Far Cry 3], but I know the team are and what I’ve seen looks pretty [...]

A recent Neogaf post and subsequent video published by the gaming world’s mash-up of Carson Daly and 50 Cent (aka: The HipHopGamer), gave reason to believe that there would be a Splinter Cell: Conviction demo included with purchases of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II for the Xbox 360, however hot on the heels of an anonymous [...]

Ubisoft Montreal released half a dozen or so new Assassin’s Creed 2 screen shots. The sequel takes place in Venice and puts you behind the hood of a new assassin named Ezio. If stealth killing with retractable wrist blades gets you off, you can get your hands on AC2 in stores on November 17th in [...]

Like the original, Assassin’s Creed 2 will not have a demo. This report comes direct from a Ubisoft representative on the floor of the Eurogamer Expo, and while gamers may not be too happy with it, at least one analyst predicts that Ubisoft’s sequel will still outsell the overachieving original.

It was announced a while back that Splinter Cell: Conviction was being pushed back into 2010. Hell, it was announced last year that the game was being delayed until this year. But we’ve finally got a solid release date in February 23rd, 2010, so mark your calendars. Mark it with pencil, though, in case the [...]

With a lot of heavy hitters – ok, with Modern Warfare 2 coming this November, a lot of big titles were pushed back to 2010 to avoid the competition. According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, those titles could get pushed back even further.

The first Assassin’s Creed had a good amount of flaws, but it also did some awesome things, so if the sequel can keep the awesome and get rid of the bad (or turn it into awesome!) I’ll be a happy camper. That’s just a figure of speech, though. I hate camping.

In answer to an Q&A question on the Ubisoft forums, a Splinter Cell Conviction developer has noted that the game will not be released on the PlayStation 3. “Splinter Cell conviction is a true Microsoft exclusive title and there are no plans to have Splinter Cell Conviction on other platforms,” he writes. “There are several [...]

Courtesy of our friends over at Destructoid, we’ve got some brand new leaked footage of Assassin’s Creed 2, featuring the Altair we all know and… tolerate. Of course, the video’s only eleven seconds, but if you don’t care so much, I’m sure this will tide you over until the game actually releases. God only knows [...]

Ubisoft’s lovable little leporines will soon be hitting the Wii again, but this time not in mini-game form. Rabbids Go Home is the 4th in the Rabbids franchise, but this time, the goal of the game is to collect as much stuff as you can, and get the rabbids back home… to the moon. The [...]

The sequel to the 2003 sleeper hit Beyond Good & Evil was announced late last year, with a trailer to accompany it. It wasn’t much, though- we saw some pre-rendered footage of Jade & Pey’j lost in the desert, and that was about it. But some new footage from the game appeared online today, and [...]

Destructoid reports that Ubisoft have dripfed the press a few details about Red Steel 2, sequel to the Wii launch title, Red Steel. As you might have guessed from the image, the game will be set in a “desert city,” and will fully support WiiMotion Plus. Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing [...]

A new trademark for Driver: The Recruit has been registered by Ubisoft recently. Last year in June, a short video of an Ubisoft Reflections tour by BBC revealed that a new Driver game was in development. Driver: The Recruit could possibly be the new title. E3 seems like the proper time for its reveal. Source [...]

To add to the new info on Assassin’s Creed 2, here is a picture of the main character discovered on the official Ubisoft forums before it was taken down. The main character is Ezio Auditore de Firenze, a nobleman of Florence from 1476, who is also an ancestor of Altair and Desmond. With all the [...]
