Ubisoft: We still support the PSP and have a number of games planned for this year

Posted Jun 10, 2008 at 10:38AM by QJ Staff Listed in: News Tags: Rob Cooper, Sony, Ubisoft

Just recently, Ubisoft's U.K. managing director Rob Cooper urged Sony to give the PlayStation Portable some direction. It may have seemed to some that Ubisoft would be refraining from releasing games on the handheld until a clearer plan of action has been established. Thankfully, this isn't the case.

A spokesperson from Ubisoft has clarified that they still support the handheld and will be releasing a number of games this year.

In fact, the company actually has plans to publish quite a number of games for the handheld this fiscal year:

We support the PSP with innovative game experiences and plan to publish around 12 PSP games this fiscal year, including titles for some of our top-selling brands.

Unfortunately, the spokesperson didn't give out any specifics on the what games we will be seeing on the PlayStation Portable, though one of these "top-selling brands" just might be Tom Clancy's EndWar. We'd have to wait for further confirmation of what these 12 titles exactly might be, so keep it right here for more updates.

probably gay ones.

If it wasn't without homebrew my psp be gone by now.

# 12 Titles? — du.der.icio.us 2008-06-10 11:30

At this point in the year that implies that they're going to hit some months w/ 2 games. That doesn't even sound like a smart business plan ... let alone reasonable.

are you commenting for the hell of it? you have no idea what ubisoft is planning so by saying "probably gay ones" you are only making yourself sounds like a complete fool.

# FISCAL YEAR — digicron 2008-06-10 12:42

and BTW fiscal year means the company's financial year, which could mean there fiscal year could run till feb, november, hell mabey august, it does not mean the end of year as in Dec 31/08.

# great! — Bolec 2008-06-11 00:00

We'll see what they're up to :)

Guys you should be thanful for the support they're showing...other devs have left PSP(the BEST handheld) in the dust.

I have the abillity to download ISOs and crap, but if Ubi makes another good lookin game for PSP(I have and love POP:RS) then I will buy it FOR SURE and you guys should do the same, show your support. hey we mght get aother Prince of Persia!! not to mention...ASSASSANS CREED :]

Thanks a million, ubi!
