27th September 2005:
Ubisoft go PSP crazy
Ubisoft have confirmed their impressively bright future by announcing continued support for Sony's new handheld.
Posted by Chris Barnett - - UK and Europe

Ubisoft has proven that it is dedicated to providing gamers with as much variation as possible, by announcing a few additions to its upcoming PSP games.

With several games both in development and being published, Ubisoft is lending its entire weight to the new platform, only recently introduced to the European and UK markets on September 1, 2005 with record-breaking sales after winning over costumers throughout the world.

A PSP game based on the Prince of Persia series is among the upcoming adventures based on Ubisoft's major brands that the new system's owners can experience. It will be joined early 2006 by 187 Ride or Die PSP and other titles inspired by the company's existing line-up of games.

The musical puzzler Lumines, created by genius developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi and published by Ubisoft as a PSP launch title, has already enjoyed strong sales and critical acclaim throughout the world. It will soon be joined by several other titles, set to hit shelves in Europe before the end of 2005:

FRANTIX - a character-based 3D puzzle-solving adventure with original and intelligent puzzles.

GripShift - combine action-packed 3D stunt driving with puzzle-solving to give an unusual take on the standard puzzle formula.

Tales of Eternia - the first Japanese RPG for the system, developed by Namco.

Ubisoft will announce additional titles for the first quarter of 2006.

"The PSP is a fantastic new system for gamers on the move," said Alain Corre, executive director of EMEA territories at Ubisoft. "Ubisoft is thrilled that it can contribute to the continued success of the PSP by ensuring a wide variety of games and exclusive content. This is only the beginning of our support, with many more titles in the works for the year to come."

This is great news for owners of the PSP as it means that they can look forwards to quality titles for the next twelve months at least. With Lumines being good enough to last for eternity already, that's quite a sweet deal to say the least.

The screens below are as follows: The first three are from FRANTIX, the second three from Gripshift and the final one is from Tales of Eternia.
