News: "Action puzzler" due out in February.

Ubisoft today announced that it has signed a deal with Taito (who are now owned by Square-Enix) to publish three Taito-developed titles in 2006. The first of these will be Exit, due for the PSP in February.

Exit is an "action puzzler" that puts players in the shoes of Mr. ESC, the world's leading escape artist. Mr. ESC must use all of his knowledge of escapology to brave "fires, earthquakes and other disasters in various environments such as buildings, hospitals and subways." Along the way he will rescue victims who have been trapped in these situations, who will then in turn help him with more rescues.

Intense action puzzler: Players use decision-making skills and wits to escape various obstacles while rescuing people from more than 100 different emergencies. Additional levels are also available for download.

Do whatever it takes to get everyone out in time: Rescue people and find the fastest way out while braving exploding factories, burning buildings and flooding subways. Players will climb ladders, move objects, slide down ropes and collect numerous rescue devices to assist them in their missions.

Turn victims into allies: Saved characters can be enlisted to help move heavy objects, master tricky obstacles and help each other.

Smooth, stylish character design and movement: Accompanying the intense action are some of the most stylish graphics to be seen on the PSP system, allowing for a viscerally and aesthetically satisfying experience.

"Exit's unique graphics and fluid style make this yet another innovative puzzle game in Ubisoft's arsenal," said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. "Ubisoft is excited to be bringing three of the industry's most innovative titles to gamers this year."

We'll have more on Exit soon.
