14 DAY TRIAL // A presumed leaked launch schedule for French publisher Ubisoft mentions that this year the company will launch a new Splinter Cell video game, a reboot of the Prince of Persia franchise and a new Assassin’s Creed title.
Here are the launch dates mentioned in the leaked list:
Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC Far Cry 3 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC I Am Alive for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online on the Microsoft Windows, Wii U Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Retribution on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows Prince of Persia for Nintendo Wii, 3DS Assassin's Creed 3 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC Just Dance Final Party for Wii, Xbox 360 with Kinect, PlayStation 3 with Move.
The genuine surprise on the list is the new Splinter Cell: Retribution game, which was not even rumored before this leaked list.
The last game in the series was Conviction, which was launched in 2010 and many took it as the last one in the series.
It is not clear whether Ubisoft plans to bring Sam Fischer back or it will try to introduce new characters in order to reboot the series.
A new Prince of Persia is also a surprise, given the fact that the series seemed to be abandoned, and the fact that it will only be offered on the Nintendo Wii and the 3DS might point to a smaller, more focused experience aimed at a larger audience.
The Just Dance Final Party name suggests that it might be just a repack of the first two titles in the series, with some extra songs to perform.
The list also confirms the existence of the Assassin’s Creed 3 video game, which is supposed to close the story arc of the series later in the year.
