Ubisoft announced two next-generation games at E3 2013 – The Crew and The Division – but neither was confirmed for Wii U. There was always hope of both titles hitting the console, however. Remember: it took ages for Ubisoft to confirm Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Watch_Dogs for Wii U.

Unfortunately, it’s sounding unlikely that Ubisoft will be putting The Crew and The Division on Wii U. When asked about the possibility of the two games coming to Nintendo’s new system, a source speaking with The Examiner said: “I’m not sure, but I seriously doubt it.”

We normally wouldn’t be keen on posting rumors from anonymous sources, but today’s speculation comes from a site that leaked details on The Crew prior to its reveal at E3 2013 earlier this month.

How Ubisoft approaches its franchises

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Ubisoft has created tons of franchises over the years. Rayman, Prince of Persia, and Assassin’s Creed are just a few of the names that we’ve seen time and time again.

Having developed numerous series, how does Ubisoft approach them? Why is the wait for new entries in some franchises longer than others?

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explained the publisher’s approach in an official Q&A:

“We have a strategy in place for each brand. Our goal is to work on each franchise until we see that it needs a break, and then down the line we’ll bring it back with a team that can make it shine once again. The power of our brands lies in the power of the people who work on them. So when we get to a point where we don’t think we can improve enough or bring something that fans haven’t seen before, we prefer to wait until we can identify a breakthrough – a fresh new angle that allows us to reinvigorate the franchise. So a lot of the time it’s about waiting for the right moment and the right team.”
