[Pre-E3 2006] Ubisoft Speaks Line-Up Lingo
The games, they cometh!
Published: May 3, 2006
Leave it to Ubisoft to have us tingling over an E3 showcase, and we're typically a tough crowd to please! But just seeing the words "Free Radical" and "next-generation project" in the same sentence has us immediately conjuring ideas of... well, granted, something that isn't TimeSplitters, but arguably just as awesome. And heck, with our favorite limbless protagonist returning to action, the renowned Ubisoft Montreal hard at work on a next-gen title and future installments of Ubi's most prized franchises on the way, we say our giddiness is darn well justified!
"Our E3 lineup demonstrates Ubisoft's profound commitment to the next-generation of video games," states Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer of Ubisoft. "Ubisoft is very excited to be introducing ground-breaking new intellectual property and showcasing how we bring innovation to our best-selling franchises. Our award-winning development teams are pushing the limits of what can be achieved and leading the industry into the future."
And while Ubisoft is busy pushing limits, we'll demonstrate our mastery in the art of copy and pasting. Behold!
Assassin's Creed
Experience the power of a feared Assassin in the game that will redefine the action adventure genre for the next generation. Players' actions will throw the immediate environment into chaos and shape events in this pivotal moment during the Third Crusade.
Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway
Gearbox Software's critically acclaimed squad-based WWII shooter launches into the next generation of gaming with amazing graphics and cutting-edge game play features powered by Unreal Engine 3 and a completely redesigned online component.

Open Season

Rayman Raving Rabbids
Developed by famed creative director Michel Ancel, this new installment of the Rayman franchise will be the funniest and zaniest yet. Rayman's world is threatened by a devastating invasion by the most unexpected creatures and Rayman must battle to save his world and its inhabitants.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
The best-selling Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell saga is taking an entirely new direction. In the highly anticipated next chapter, play as a double agent spy for the first time. Take on dual roles of covert operative and ruthless terrorist, where choices of whom to betray and whom to protect affect the outcome of the game.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six makes its dramatic next-generation debut. Rainbow operatives take to the chaotic streets of Las Vegas as an escalating terrorist siege in "Sin City" threatens to take world terrorism to new heights.
