Ubisoft announced today that Splinter Cell: Conviction is getting pushed back to an April release. No big deal - when you consider how many times that game has been delayed, fans can probably wait one more month for the thing.
Want to know what else they have planned for 2010-11? Here are a few games, including some new mentions.
A new game in the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon series
Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands
Driver
Raving Rabbids 4
A new episode of Assassin’s Creed, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode
Some of these inspire nothing more than a yawn - do we really need another Driver or a fourth Raving Rabbids? We’re also scratching our heads about the Assassin’s Creed announcement. Gamasutra confirmed that it is, in fact, a new game and not just DLC for Assassin’s Creed 2. It could still just be a spin-off, like the PSP and DS games. Both main-line Creed games have been great, but we’re a little worried about any sequel pushed out in less than a year.
Don’t forget Red Steel 2

To tell you the truth, it wasn’t even mentionned in the press release.
I’ll contact them and check what’s up.

No More Heroes 2 is also missing
Edgar - 01.13.10 2:24 pm
What about Beyond Good & Evil 2? I’m still waiting Ubisoft.

“a new episode of Assassin’s Creed, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode”

@Shadic - so I imagine it’s going to be like playing a FPS and everyone is camping….

So the only reason Red Steel 2 and No More Heroes 2 aren’t mentioned is because their dates haven’t change

Let’s post a fucking press release. Come on. Who cares about Ubisoft’s line-up? Let alone a stupid ass Raving Rabbids sequel. Really a 4th one?
I thought 4CR was more than press release copy pasta.

@Kyle: Better?
I yelled at Edgar and added some words to the post.
Gregory Gay - 01.13.10 10:26 pm
and by yelled, he means kissed
Edgar - 01.13.10 11:36 pm
A multiplayer Assassin’s Creed? That sounds intriguing.

Multiplayer Assassin’s Creed would be friggin’ AMAZING if you had Capture the Flag.

RABBIDS? MORE? ARGH!
Whatever happened to that one guy, you know, what was his name? Oh, that’s right, RAYMAN.
Mr. Bloober - 01.16.10 7:13 pm
@Mr.Bloober - I think the name was just use to sell the game?
Edgar - 01.18.10 9:13 am
I want Rayman 4. You separated the franchises with the last Rabbids game, Ubisoft, now put your MASCOT in a game where he’s on the COVER.
It’s been seven years since Rayman 3 =(
