Ubisoft Has Cross-Gen Games In Development
Ubisoft confirmed that some of its upcoming titles will be for both current and next generation consoles. One of the games expected to launch on both, Watch Dogs, is coming sometime next year.
"We expect in the first two years the [next-gen] costs will not increase compared to what we have today in creating the games we launch," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during today's investor call when asked how much the publisher is putting towards next-gen development.
"We don’t know about the third year where we will take advantage of the full capacity of those consoles. We will probably have to spend more money at that time."
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.
