During the same period, Ubisoft will ship Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Far Cry Instincts, and a new urban street-racing title, 187 Ride or Die, all of which are major titles for the company.
Moving into the holiday season, Ubisoft steps into overdrive, releasing new titles in most of its key franchises, including a new Brothers in Arms chapter, Ghost Recon 3, Prince of Persia 3, and the game tie-in to Peter Jackson's King Kong film. Both Ghost Recon 3 and King Kong will hit "next-generation consoles," which given a holiday release, almost certainly means the next Xbox system.
Though the post-holiday period is usually quiet, Ubisoft will offer Splinter Cell 4 for current and next-gen consoles, two new Might & Magic titles for PC, as well as Killing Day, an FPS designed specifically for the next generation of hardware, and with which the company "plans to demonstrate once again its technological lead and highlight the capabilities of the new consoles."
All told, during its fiscal 2005-2006 Ubisoft will launch 32 titles, including three for the DS, five for the PSP, and four for the new Xbox system (though we suspect this won't be the only next-gen system in play). The company is aiming for a 12 percent increase in sales and an operating income of more than €55 million for the new fiscal year.
