Rumor: Trailer images from unannounced Ubisoft game leak out
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
A trio of trailer images from an unannounced Ubisoft game may have leaked out. Unfortunately though, not much is shown in the photos.
One simply features a logo from Ubisoft while another contains the text, “Judgement is coming”. Another image does give a small bit of insight into the overall feel of the possible project/trailer, showing a man with what seems to be a bow hunched on his back.
Speculation is already running rampant as to what Ubisoft could be planning. One such guess is that the company will be unveiling a new Prince of Persia.
The source of the images seems to come from a posting on Webstagram. Assuming they’re real, Ubisoft will be showing this game and a trailer during E3 next week.
