maybe he meant for a while
we did get Watch_Dogs in 2014, Division a couple of months ago, and are getting For Honor later this year. Seems like that's plenty for a couple of years AAA-wise.
They've announced at least one new IP the last few E3's so this shouldn't be a surprise. Hopefully its some sci-fi game.
Expecting For Honor to get a release date similar to Siege's this year. I also hope Ghost Recon isn't too like The Division but can see it

maaaaaan if only
Part of the reason they're investing so much is that they want to get up to size with EA and Activision.
It will still take quite a bit to get there.
you know.......sky pirates open world might be the only way I would take it. That would be fun as hell.

Only a surprised because I expected to not hear of a new IP until after the release of their latest new IP, For Honor. But there is no use in delaying an announcement if you are actively working on the project and bringing it towards completion. I haven't paid much attention to their announcement schedule.

I hope it's a take on a Ninja game like Tenchu, they've been busting our balls with assassin's creed never being one for too long already n' going further away each and every time. Crossing fingers.

Valiant Hearts "sequel" please but it can't be right because that is AAAA.

Ugh, great.
Heh. I never like keeping news to myself, but there's a fine line between spoiling an announcement because there's news value and spoiling an announcement just for the sake of spoiling an announcement. Reporting that AC is skipping this year and that WD2 is replacing it for this fall's marquee spot definitely falls into the former category, but talking about this new IP just based on a few things I've heard feels too much like the latter. (I think I said something similar last year.)
I got a message a few months ago from someone who worked on Hero, telling me how ecstatic they were that their reveal hadn't come out before E3 2015, and it really had an impact on me. Even press sneak fucks have empathy.

Ubi seem better at retaining leaks than others given past E3s like watch dogs, division, wildlands etc, so why now?

Hope it's not another gunplay game, that would be exciting.....and needed.

True, I just have a feeling it is going to be a MOBA Shooter like Battleborn, Paragon, Gogantic, or Overwatch (Though Overwatch is not a MOBA but it features heroes that have a lot of variety in attacks and abilities)
The Division leaked actually. It was the f2p Tom Clancy title referred to as Rogue.
Mind, the final game was neither f2p nor called Rogue (except in the game files), but it was still the same product.
Playing the game you can also probably see why it was called Rogue at first.
And you see Jason a few posts up mentioning he already knows what it is (though doesn't intend to leak it).
I don't actually hate that model I just find it kind of ironic that in the end it's probably more likely to shorten a games lifespan. Even though the model is designed to retain player interest, people are much less likely to play a dead online game than an old single player one.

Ubisoft is probably going to try to get in on them class based/moba-lite shooters.
Edit: I guess my idea was already taken.

40:40 mark. The second person saying the game will be revealed at E3 and Yeve correcting him saying 'before, before then'.

It's as much of a MOBA (or moba-lite) as Titanfall is.

Black Flag would've been so much better if it had no Assassin's Creed.

Yay, Ubi keeps pushing me away

Ghost Recon won't be an RPG, so I don't see any such issues.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Well, Rainbow is great. Their year one roadmap has been pretty solid. All the important stuff is free.
