E3 2006: Ubisoft's E3 Lineup @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on May 03, 2006

News: Lots of violence, lots of Tom Clancy and lots of Rayman.

Ubisoft has revealed their lineup for the big show and so far there are no surprises. But this Ubisoft, with so many titles a year, I fully expect some big-name surprise to appear.

Oh, and we also know that Rayman 4 will officially be called Rayman Raving Rabbids and be a launch title for the Wii (among other systems).

Here's the full list:

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. As Matt Baker, lead a squad of real soldiers who think, relate and fight together through the brutal trials of the dramatic Operation Market Garden.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic: Discover a new breed of PC game that will redefine the Action-RPG genre. Powered by an enhanced version of the Source engine from Valve, the second chapter in the new Might & Magic franchise allows players to experience ferocious combat as an expert warrior, mage, or assassin using a vast array of devastating weapons against vicious creatures in a captivating fantasy environment.

Enchanted Arms: The first RPG developed exclusively for Xbox 360, this epic adventure created by FromSoftware in Japan is arriving for the first time in North America and Europe. Enchanted Arms allows players to escape to a fantasy world filled with beautiful cinema-quality graphics, unique characters and bizarre creatures.

Open Season: Team up with the cast of characters from Sony Pictures Animation's feature-length CGI film Open Season coming in September. It's a riotous romp in the great outdoors for kids of all ages when a rowdy brood of forest animals turn the tables on unsuspecting hunters.

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.

Red Steel: The only original first-person game built from the ground up and exclusively for the Wii launch. Red Steel takes full advantage of Nintendo's innovative controller and provides the unique experience of combined gunplay and swordplay.

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.

Game to be Unveiled: Experience the next-generation project from Ubisoft and Free Radical, the developers of the critically-acclaimed Timesplitters series for the first time at E3.
