14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has announced its lineup of games to be presented at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Some of the video games that will be exhibited at the publisher's booth include Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Shaun White Skateboarding, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and, surprisingly, a new title in the Driver franchise.
Ubisoft's E3 activities will begin with a press conference on the 14th of June that will have the same host as last year, the comedian Joel McHale. Access to this event will be available only through invitations for partners, investors, retailers and select media outlets. Like last year, live demonstrations of future releases and special-guests appearances will represent the bulk of the conference. It may be worth remembering that Avatar's director, James Cameron, was one of these special guests at 2009's edition. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood continues Ezio Auditore's adventures in Renaissance Italy, as he travels to Rome to defeat the Templar menace once and for all. This time around, players will not control only Ezio, but the entire Brotherhood of Assassins, so some strategy will be needed. This new installment in the Assassin's Creed series will introduce a multiplayer layer that will allow gamers to engage in battles as Templars using Animus machines to train themselves to be Assassins. The release date for this title is set for the end of 2010.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the fifth game in the Ghost Recon franchise. It will expand on the previous title's elements, garnering a futuristic take on them. Invisibility, miniature combat drones and shoulder-mounted weapons are on the list of new features of this title, which is set for release in the first quarter of 2011. The new Driver installment may be set in San Francisco, as Ubisoft registered on the 23rd of April the driversanfranciscogame.com Internet domain.
