Ubisoft Shanghai working on Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is primarily developed by Ubisoft Toronto. But for the Wii U version, Ubisoft pegged its Shangai studio, the same team behind Pandora Tomorrow and I Am Alive.
Blacklist creative director Maxime Beland wouldn’t discuss the Wii U version during a recent press event, but did say the following:
“We have amazing brands, and if we make great games on all the platforms people will be happy. As long as the quality’s there and the game is fun it’s going to work or have a chance of working.”
Beland added:
“What I like about what we’re doing with the Wii U is that Splinter Cell’s always about gadgets, and with the controller it’s a natural extension. It’s interesting on that side for sure, because we didn’t have to invent new ways of interacting with the game to support the hardware. It just makes sense.”
While Ubisoft Shangai will devote a good chunk of its resources to Blacklist’s Wii U version, it is also wkring on the game’s co-op modes for all versions.
