Ubisoft announces Beowulf game, Naruto demo, Rayman Raving Rabbids sequel, others |
Ó
Ubisoft revealed a lot of interesting news at the Ubidays event held in Paris. The news about a "Beowulf" video game and movie tie-in stood out along with EndWar and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway."Beowulf" is a fantasy film directed by Robert Zemekis to be released in November this year. EMEA executive director Alain Corre announced that they are developing a video game based on the film though platforms and other details weren't specified. Corre hinted that the Beowulf video game will "re-invent the hack-and-slash genre". Yves Guillemot, CEO at Ubisoft added that the team behind Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is working on the new title.
Tom Clancy's EndWar was shown during the show and its features were showcased. One interesting bit is that players will be able to either control their units using voice commands or the traditional way of control pads. Another upcoming title, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway was presented by a colonel (for real) who said that the theme of the video game is this: "to be a good commander, you must love your soldiers. But to win in combat you must risk the thing you love".
Free Radical's Haze was also showcased in the game show and introduced by Dave Doak. According to Doak, the title will be sporting a co-op option (for up to four players) and will be available for both the story and online gameplay modes. He added that Haze will be "a bit more mature without being gory".
The event then focused on the casual games division featuring titles like: My Word Coach, My Life Coach, and Jam Sessions. They were discussed briefly plus a short trailer was shown. Another video game featured was the Xbox 360 exclusive Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. Producer Jade Raymond (Assassin's Creed) gave the news about the demo: "We're keeping things pretty secret for a little bit longer because we're going to come out big this summer with the first hands-on demo - that's going to be this July."
A video montage of Ubisoft's upcoming video games were shown and there's this one other thing. The Rayman Raving Rabbids' sequel was confirmed to be due this year.
Ubisoft definitely has something for everybody. We'll bring you more news on Ubisoft's ongoing event as they happen. Stay tuned.
