UBISOFT® CO-STARS IN NINTENDO DIRECT Wii U PREVIEW EVENT



Today, Ubisoft showcased three of its Wii U™ titles during a Webcast on Nintendo Direct, the online home for official and exclusive Nintendo news.
A replay of the Webcast is available at http://nintendo.co.uk/nintendodirect

Ubisoft showcased titles such as Assassin’s Creed® III, Rayman® Legends, and the survival-thriller and platform-exclusive ZombiU™, and is positioned to be the leading third-party on Nintendo’s flagship system. Exciting new gameplay features were revealed for ZombiU and Rayman® Legends, helping to showcase the unique capabilities of the Wii U console and Wii U GamePad™.

  • ZombiU™: New footage from this exclusive survival horror first-person shooter revealed the Tower of London location and the Survival Mode in which the player only has one life to survive. The new video also showed the Weapon Crafting feature that allows players to customize their equipment directly on the GamePad, the use of a Spraycan to leave messages made up from symbols for other players, plus new online features in which online friends who are turned into zombies will then turn up in the player’s game. At launch, a limited edition “Wii U ZombiU Premium Pack” will be made available that includes the game along with a black Wii U console, and a black Wii U™ Pro Controller.

  • Rayman® Legends: A video featuring series creator Michel Ancel highlighted how this new 2D platformer creates a new gameplay dynamic due to the different roles players take on depending on which controller they use. The capabilities of the Wii U GamePad™ allow for a very tactile interaction with the game world such as pulling objects, turning parts of the level around, or shielding other players, and requires ongoing communication between all players to succeed.

Both titles will be available on November 30th in EMEA when the Wii U will launch.

Other Ubisoft games in development for Wii U that will be available during the system’s launch window include:


Assassin’s Creed® III:
Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution in the late 18th century, Assassin’s Creed III introduces a new hero, Connor, the new voice for justice in the ancient war between the Assassins and Templars. Gamers become an Assassin in the war for liberty against ruthless tyranny in the most stylized and fluid combat experiences in the franchise to date. Assassin’s Creed III spans the Revolutionary War, taking gamers from the vibrant, untamed frontier to bustling colonial towns and the intense, chaotic battlefields where George Washington’s Continental Army clashed with the imposing British Army.

Just Dance® 4: Just Dance 4 is the fourth installment in the world’s No. 1 dance game franchise. Just Dance 4 features more than 40 new tracks, ranging from chart-topping Billboard hits to classic dance party tracks from artists like Rihanna, One Direction, P!nk, The B-52’s, and Flo Rida.
