Ubisoft is very pleased with pre-order figures for Assassin’s Creed III, it seems. A rumored note sent out to GameStop employees contains lots of praise for assisting the company in smashing its expectations.

More importantly, the note indicates that Ubisoft is “currently in the process of creating a complementary development team that will begin working on post-launch episodic content to continue the Game of the Year experience that Assassin’s Creed 3 will undoubtedly deliver.” It goes on to say more succinctly, “With a dedicated team specifically to this content we plan to set the bar for quality DLC in our industry.”

Along with an Assassin’s Creed III DLC team, a “Season Pass” is mentioned. Unfortunately, not much is said about this (and we’re not sure if it applies to the Wii U version). It’s possible that some sort of discount could be offered for buying all DLC at once though.

The note in full has been attached above. Ubisoft may make all of this official soon.

escapeVektor developer Nnooo can now make Wii U projects. The studio announced that it’s been approved to make games for the console.

Nnooo doesn’t have anything in the pipeline as of yet. However, once it wraps up Spirit Hunters Inc and escapeVektor, the company plans on “prototyping some ideas for the Wii U to get a feel for what we can do.” Creative director Nic Watt says that Nnooo has “already had a quick play with the hardware and everyone in the studio is super impressed by the GamePad and the capabilities of the Wii U itself.”

The official announcement has been posted below.

A new Iwata Asks focusing on Dragon Quest X has been released. This could be one of the final interviews based on a Wii game, as DQX is one of the console’s few remaining high-profile titles.

Director Jin Fujisawa, producer Yousuke Saito, Dragon Quest series creator/game designer Hori Yuuji, and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata participated in the discussion.

The interview is only available in Japanese at present, but a few highlights have been translated into English. More Iwata Asks interviews featuring Dragon Quest could be on the way, so stay tuned. But for now, take a look at the summary below.

During an earnings call today, Ubisoft says that five out of its seven games initially planned for Wii U are ports.

ZombiU and Rayman Legends are completely original. Assassin’s Creed III, Sports Connection, Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, Your Shape, Just Dance 4, and Rabbids Land are also coming to the system.

Ubisoft additionally stated that it isn’t expecting a huge investment in Wii U.

When asked about Ubisoft’s R&D budget and cost of making games for the console, Ubisoft said:

“Out of 7 games we are planning to launch, 5 games are ports, so those are games for which there is a quite small reinvestment to do. The two games that are original are ZombiU of course and Rayman, so those ones of course are more expensive but we are not talking about games today, like we were spending on Ghost Recon or Assassin’s Creed. So they are much smaller of cost. Because as we’ve always said when there is such an innovation the need is not to have big production value but to concentrate on the innovation. This is what we are trying on Rayman and ZombiU. And for the other five games, you are talking about small budget, I’d say of less than a million euro to make some of the ports, I’d estimate. So together I don’t think we have a huge investment on the Wii U.”
