Goddamn leaks. Will there be any surprises left for E3?

Nintendo are generally good at keeping secrets. Ubisoft on the other hand I'm starting to think do it on purpose.

ReplacementPelican · May 30, 2014

Videos are down, could anyone describe the footage?

Endless · May 30, 2014

Nevermind.

Hero · May 30, 2014

I should call dibs on the eventual OT for this.

Nirolak · May 31, 2014

Given that they've been adamant about removing these, I'm going to guess this is a somewhat bigger game.

Nirolak · May 31, 2014

Well, at least one place took pictures: http://www.gamestar.de/news/branche/3056345/hero.html

The thing undeniably looks a bit dumb, but I stand by my suspicion Ubisoft views it as a big deal.

Spring-Loaded · May 31, 2014

OMG dream game material

Doesn't look like something that would be ready for E3. Or something that is even cleared for development necessarily.

Darksol · May 31, 2014

Eh. Need to see more before.

I wonder if this is an RPG.

So Ubisoft probably wants in on the Skyrim market since that sold 20+ million and they don't have one, but their editorial/executive meddling department hates launching anything that isn't realistic-historical, modern day, or near future as a retail game.

This basically allows them to have a game that fits with present day while also having a swords/axes/etc medieval era RPG.

It looks a bit intricate to be a fighting game or a Kinect thing, and I imagine any of those they were making were long since cancelled. That said, this could have been released due to cancellation.

They already have Far Cry's multiplayer to compete with CoD and The Crew to compete with racing games, and The Division is their future RPG, so a fantasy RPG seems to be a missing category for them.

Maybe that's why South Park's ending happened turned out how it did, lol.

OrlanisWorks · May 31, 2014

Hmph.

Need that video rehosted right meow.

CassidyIzABeast · May 31, 2014

mreddie · May 31, 2014

A game where you play as Enrique Iglesias?

Joeki11a · May 31, 2014

This is for Wii U I hope?

DAREALGUMMY · May 31, 2014

Video is nothing special at all. Concept has potential but who knows what it's really about.

I assume its done by the rayman team, same ones who made "Valiant Hearts: The Great War" which is skipping wiiu

Regret Upon Approval · May 31, 2014

No Ubisoft.
Rainbow 6 was supposed to be your big E3 reveal. Stick to the plan.

Epcott · May 31, 2014

A new Hero game with
*Spoiler*

Open world map with spots to synch which open up districts that have chase missions, collectables, and races.

Can't wait!

I kid. Videos are gone

TTUVAPOR · May 31, 2014

Looks like a cheesy Kinect game.

Maintenance · May 31, 2014

I'm holding out for it.

Kikarian · May 31, 2014

It'll be a MOUBA.

Multiplayer online Uplay battle arena.

Cheesy Kinect games are dead.
The new hotness will be cheesy Morpheus games.

Let's hope one of these fads actually innovates in the gaming space sometime instead of just running the inevitable course of shallow implementation and mini-games until we revert back to the tried and true controller/mouse+keyboard/touchscreen tropes.

cuyahoga · Jun 18, 2014

Bump. Rumor is that this is some open-world WRPG fantasy thing with like wizards and mages and stuff. Announce and release, if this doesn't get canned, slated for next year supposedly.

From the other thread, Schreier notes: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=163652569&postcount=359

That said... if, say, I heard a few scattershot details about some new IP that Ubisoft's developing and will show at E3, there isn't much news value in just reporting those details, and in fact I imagine it'd serve our readers more for them to find out about the IP with proper context (and visuals!) at an E3 presser. So in that case, we might not be super-interested in spoiling a surprise just for the sake of spoiling a surprise. Make sense?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's this.

Lakitu · May 12, 2015

Hmm, any insight into what kind of game is this? I'm always interested in new IP.

Raide · May 12, 2015

Not sure what the images suggest. Something where players built their hero's and then fight? Could be a Moba type game where all of the hero's are actually built from the ground up by players, instead of the game just giving you a full roster.

MOBA would be an automatic turn off. We'll see at E3 I guess.

It could literally be anything at this point.

krizzx · May 12, 2015

Was Ubisoft trying to make their own Smash?

Squire · May 12, 2015

Raide said:

But it's probably a MOBA because that's the kind of move Ubi would make at this point.

GoonerTRON · May 12, 2015

VR game, all the big 3rd party publishers will have one at E3.

L Thammy · May 12, 2015

I don't believe in Ubisoft leaks until I know the airline.

krizzx said:

Weren't they thinking about an Assassin's Creed fighting game at one point? EDIT: Yep

Hopefully another Ubi Art game.

Calling it now: It's Ubisofts upcoming MOBA effort.

Didn't we hear about this ages ago? I certainly remember some leaves concept stuff about heroes from Ubi, and I seem to recall it being a MOBA too.

Check the date on the post you're replying to.

Fury451 · May 12, 2015

Well, those pics are certainly something.

Something new is always good, but I'm not quite sure what to make of this right now based on the speculation here.

A MOBA would be strange for them I think, it just seems like a weird venture to suddenly pursue right now.

Nirolak · May 12, 2015

I added cuyahoga's note to the title and OP since he's basically always right.

Chao · May 12, 2015

Will it be another reskinned assassin's creed game?

Markitron · May 12, 2015

If it's got towers then I hate it.

ViewtifulJC · May 12, 2015

MOBA Tower Defense game

The most towers in UbiSoft history

Stimpack · May 12, 2015

Sounds weird. Definitely far from what I would have expected, but I don't follow Ubisoft very closely.

John Harker · May 12, 2015

Those rumors are totally made up

Alucrid · May 12, 2015

I hope we get towers to climb

Compsiox · May 12, 2015

Well this is it guys.

Alucrid said:

Wouldn't be an open world Ubisoft game without them...

cjp · May 12, 2015

Sounds interesting, but another open world fantasy RPG? Are these the new WW2 FPS's??
