It was almost a year ago that we heard Ubisoft Toronto is working on five mysterious titles. Not much has changed since then.
Studio manager Jade Raymond, speaking at a SXSW panel, reconfirmed once again that five games are in the works. Two are co-productions with other studios while the others are being handled indepently.
Raymond said:
“There are definitely a lot of plates spinning. None of them have been announced.”
Raymond previously teased that Ubisoft Toronto is working on the next Assassin’s Creed and a new title within the Splinter Cell brand.
Over the past few years, Marvel has been building the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” through various media – movies, television, and more. Now there appear to be similar plans in place for video games as well.
Speaking at a SXSW panel on Saturday, Marvel VP of games TQ Jefferson said:
“You might have noticed that certain similarities and threads touch from one game to the next. Much like you see in publishing and film, we’re trying to build a gaming universe connected by common elements and narrative into a larger gaming initiative.”
FuRyu has announced a Japanese release date for CardFight!! Vanguard: Lock on Victory. The game will be available on June 5, the publisher has announced.
Those who purchase CardFight!! Vanguard: Lock on Victory at retail will receive four Setting Sun Star-vader Darmstadtium holographic cards (R rarity).
As for the title itself, it’ll include local and internet multiplayer modes as well as StreetPass support.
Although this is fan-made, it does showcase pre-alpha gameplay.
