Ubisoft were in L.A. to show off some of their IPs at this year's E3. Aisha Tyler returned for hosting duties at their conference, and after reminding us of the success the publisher had last year with Watch Dogs, she introduced Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
We got a look at a trailer that showed off some gameplay, and introduced us to some of the characters, both old and new, including Anna "Grimm" Grimsdottir. We see Sam Fisher's new mobile base, the air fortress called the Paladin, are were introduced to the new enemy, the Engineers - a group of rogue nations bent on taking the US down a peg or two. The game is due out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in August.
We then got to take a closer look at Rayman Legends via a cute CGI trailer that showed some of the absurdities that we're used to from the franchise. After a brief trailer, the game was announced as coming on September 3. We then got to take a peak at some gameplay, and needless to say, it looks fantastic. Fans of Rayman Origins are definitely going to want to keep an eye out for this one, which is promised to be the biggest game in the series to date.
Then Tyler introduced The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. Brand director Louise-Pierre Pharand came on stage to explain a the game to the assembled crowd. The game challenges you with collecting loot, building a castle to defend it, and then protecting your treasure from looters. The game is now in beta, and you can sign up for it <a href"https://www.themightyquest.com/en">here</a>.
South Park: The Stick of Truth was next on the agenda. Parker and Stone's RPG by Obsidian was originally part of THQ's line-up (until they went bankrupt and Ubisoft subsequently snapped up the rights) and is "coming this holiday season". The "Nagasaki Fart" featured prominently during the presentation; we'll have the trailer up as soon as possible so you can see it for yourself.
That was it for the current-gen titles, but keep checking the site for new details surrounding Ubisoft's next-gen offerings.
