Update: Annnd the big answer to all of this is that it’s not happening, which is probably what made this slightly confusing in the first place. Ubisoft Montpellier is making a Wii U game (Rayman Legends, surely), but a new studio hasn’t been formed. The end.

It appears that Ubisoft has opened a new studio dedicated to making Wii U projects. According to the LinkedIn profile of director Hervé Masseron, more information could be divulged at E3 2012.

A blurb on his CV roughly translates to the following:

“I work on the new game studio dedicated to Montpellier’s new console NINTENDO WII the U. … Meet at E3 for more info”

Masseron has been with the new studio since January 2012.

Another LinkedIn profile, which comes from concept artist Aymeric Kevin, mentions that Michel Ancel and Jean Christophe Alessandri are supervising Rayman Legends.

These findings have led to some speculation that Rayman Legends could be a Wii U exclusive, probably due to the fact that it’s being made by Ubisoft Montpellier. And one of the LinkedIn profiles above does mention that a Montpellier team is “dedicated” to the Wii U. Still, any exclusivity has not been confirmed.

The overall scope of Ubisoft’s new studio is a bit unclear. Is this a brand new division inside Montpellier? Has the Montpellier studio simply been divided? Or is this just a temporary shift in staff?

The latest European release schedule from Namco Bandai contains an entry for Tekken 3DS. It’s listed with a “TBA” release date.

This means one of two things: Namco Bandai made an error (which is very possible), or we’re getting another Tekken game for the 3DS. I’m somewhat doubtful that we’ll see another handheld Tekken game so soon after Prime Edition, but you never know.
