To be honest with you, Ubisoft isn’t known for delivering quality products on Nintendo products at launch.

Ubisoft showed off a new IP that was shown off last year at E3. Confused? They took the development that they did on Killer Freaks From Outer Space and turned it into ZombiU. With that information in hand, and the fact that it’s still a Wii U exclusive, I think it’s safe to assume some of the More >

Out of all the gaming companies out there, I think that Ubisoft is the only one that has potential to create its own movie studio if the company wanted to. I mean, Marvel did it. When Assassin’s Creed II came out, it released a short live-action video featuring Ezio’s dad in Assassin’s Creed More >
Is Ubisoft possibly working on an Avengers game?
1 year ago
Well, I figured that it would be inevitable as most Marvel movies have had a tie-in game to go along with their release. The day before the movie was released to U.S. audiences, the domain name “avengersbattleforearth.com” was registered by Ubisoft. I’m pretty sure it’s a game title, because I More >
