Ubisoft has revealed the release dates for all of its major 2007 titles, asking the majority of them to form a neat line in November and proceed to remove the contents of your wallet one by one. You're more than welcome to make a fuss about it, but having the sneaky men of Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell: Conviction within grasp of your neck renders such action unwise.
A more notable entry in the release schedule (as posted by Eurogamer) is Free Radical's sci-political first-person shooter, Haze, previously described as "leading on PS3" in a display of timed exclusivity:
Haze (PS3) -- 23 November
Oh, you'll be wanting the release date for the other platforms as well:
Haze (Xbox 360, PC) -- 30 November [Update: Oh dear, Ubisoft has removed the Xbox 360 and PC versions of Haze from the current release list. We're waiting to hear back from Ubisoft on the matter.]
Ubisoft's Ubidays event in Paris spawned almost as many video trailers as it did announcements. Thanks to the wonders of embeddable streaming video, we're able to put them all in a single post for your viewing pleasure and/or displeasure, depending on the game.
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (Xbox 360)
Loosely based on the 837,212 episodes of popular anime, Naruto, this cel-shaded action game seems to strongly encourage you to leap through trees, punch older men and generally behave like a ninja who's under the constant scrutiny of kids. No sudden decapitations like that other guy.
Our slumber party pals over at DS Fanboy have caught word that Ubisoft's World War II epic, Brothers in Arms, will be making its way over to the Nintendo DS sometime in the near future.
Though short on details, they can confirm that the touch screen battle will feature 3 different campaigns that span across 16 missions and several countries of war. It may also include a lot of Nazi killing. Just a hunch.
Hop on over to their side of the fence for some good ol' fashioned blurry photos and speculation.
Add Gearbox (Brothers in Arms series) to the growing list of third party Wii developers. Speaking with IGN, company president Randy Pitchford confirmed, "Gearbox Software is enthusiastically supporting the Wii."
Currently, Gearbox is developing Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway for PS3 and Xbox 360. It's unclear if a version of this same title will be released for Wii -- similar to what's being done with Call of Duty 3 -- or if Gearbox will design an entirely new game for Nintendo's console, which, if this is the case, will still likely be a Brothers in Arms installment. Several months ago, an alleged Ubisoft (publisher of Brothers in Arms) release list was leaked onto the internet and featured an unnamed Brothers in Arms title for Wii.
Ubisoft and Gearbox have announced
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, the third installment in their successful WWII shooter franchise. The game
will be powered by the Unreal 3 engine, and is currently in development for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the
PC.
Technically, Highway was first announced as BIA3 at last year's Tokyo Game Show, when
Sony released the PS3's initial game lineup. The new story will
follow the 101st Airborne Division as Operation Market Garden unfolds with next gen visuals and a redesigned online
component.
Hell's Highway is scheduled for a holiday 2006 release.
