Different Cell Video games
I’ve been instructed that there are at the very least two extra cellular video games in growth by Ubisoft and that they’re “main IPs.” One in all these titles might be a brand new Murderer’s Creed cellular sport, however I am questioning if the likes of South Park can be a great match right here too.
Simply Dance 2023, Murderer’s Creed VR, Splinter Cell VR, Settlers, and Rocksmith+ are all titles that might be introduced quickly. In spite of everything, it isn’t a Ubisoft Ahead occasion with out Simply Dance!
Ubisoft’s drive to get into the VR area with Murderer’s Creed VR and Splinter Cell VR, and Sony’s current announcement of the PSVR2, makes me suppose these video games may get some type of reveal within the close to future too, be that at a Ubisoft occasion or Sony occasion.
Ubisoft clearly has a ton of thrilling video games within the pipeline and we sit up for listening to extra about it is upcoming video games showcase quickly.
