Ubisoft is reportedly working on two “AAAA” games, coining the phrase which I guess means “AAA but one better”?
The news comes from Twitter user bogorad222, who stumbled upon two VERY interesting LinkedIn profiles from Ubisoft staff members, Cyril Masquilliere and Yoni Dayan.
The first is the previously-announced Beyond Good and Evil 2, a game which we first heard about during E3 2017 and have heard basically nothing of since. According to the LinkedIn of Masquilliere, who works at Ubisoft Paris as Senior Art Technical Director, the game is a “Next-Gen, AAAA, Open Universe” title.
Though we did know this game exists, hearing it described as a “next-gen” title which is “AAAA” is definitely news.
It also seems as though Ubisoft has an unannounced game under its belt too – at least according to Dayan, who works at Ubisoft Berlin.
As spotted by the Twitter user, Dayan’s profile cites his current role as being an “intermediate role in production for an unannounced Quadruple A game (Sept 19 – Now)”
Hm….
Of course with nothing else to go on, it’s hard to speculate on what this unannounced title might be, but a smart bet would suggest it’s a Prince of Persia title. Rumours of a next-gen Prince of Persia game, or a potential current-gen remake, have been buzzing around for a while now.
The rumours then popped up again just a few weeks ago when a retail listing for a PoP remake surfaced – something which was shared on social media by industry insider Jason Schreier himself, leading to speculation that it actually could be true.
Schreier also then suggested a Prince of Persia reveal could be coming as soon as this week, with Ubisoft’s next showcase, Ubisoft Forward, coming on September 10.
Could Prince of Persia be the next “AAAA” game from Ubisoft? Or can we expect something entirely new? Only time will tell!
