Virgin Gaming And Ubisoft Band Together For Future Of War
Virgin Gaming and Ubisoft made a joint announcement this morning broadcasting a partnership that will position the former as the online tournament provider for the latter’s multiplayer offerings. The first game to be given the Virgin treatment will be Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
“Ubisoft is thrilled to be partnering with Virgin Gaming on its new venture. We have an exciting lineup of multiplayer titles this year that we believe will be a perfect fit for gamers to play and compete against each other in a tournament setting,” said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America.
First revealed at E3 of this year, Virgin Gaming is a platform that facilitates competitive gaming through tournaments for cash and tangible prices. In their Red Hot Summer event, more than $1,000,000 is promised to be given away in the first year alone.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
