Ubisoft Toronto boss Jade Raymond has confirmed that the studio is working on an original property.
Speaking at the DICE Summit, Raymond said regarding the new IP: “I really hope we’re creating something that we can hand over to the fans.
“A launch of a game, in order to be a hit, has to be an entertainment event, like a film or other new IP.”
Raymond made further comment that games are now becoming the norm, adding, “games aren’t just what you talk about around the water cooler, they’re becoming the water cooler itself … I would hope our next new IP would become the neighborhood bar.”
Last August, Raymond said the Ubisoft Toronto was working on two triple-A projects. A new Splinter Cell was already confirmed as one of them. This new property looks to be the second.
Thanks, Gamasutra.
