Ubisoft Features Game-based Theme Worlds At Games Convention 2005

Ubisoft reveals details about its booth concept for the upcoming GAMES CONVENTION trade show in Leipzig, Germany, to be held August 17 ? 21, 2005.

With over 500 square metres on the show floor, Ubisoft will be presenting numerous new titles in Hall 3 (Booth# B 30) of the Leipzig trade show. Many of these, such as Tom Clancy?s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter? and Prince Of Persia? 3 (working title), will be European premieres. In addition, there will be playable demos of Peter Jackson?s King Kong (for PS2?), Far Cry Instincts? (in Single- and Multiplayer mode for Xbox?), Heroes Of Might & Magic? V (for PC), Brothers In Arms Earned In Blood? (in Single- and Multiplayer mode for PC), Tom Clancy?s Rainbow Six Lockdown? (for Xbox) and Darkwatch? (for PS2).

On the afternoon of August 17th, a day exclusively reserved for trade professionals and media, Ubisoft will be inviting all visitors to attend a 1pm press conference at its booth. Michel Ancel, creator of the acclaimed Rayman? brand, will be presenting his latest title: Peter Jackson?s King Kong. The video game is based on Universal Pictures? highly anticipated December 14th major motion picture release, King Kong, from three-time Academy Award? winning director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy). Furthermore, Ubisoft will also be proudly unveiling the world premiere of a new title from the Might & Magic? universe.

Another 200 square metres in the Games Convention Business-Center 2 (Hall 2, Booth # D 12) will be devoted to the sales, distribution and press departments of the international publisher?s D?sseldorf office. Business partners, clients and press will be given an in depth look at new titles planned for the Christmas season and beyond.

This year, Ubisoft?s trade show concept will revolve around game-specific theme worlds, each with its own unique scenario, combining striking visual and acoustic elements to capture the imagination of their visitors. Feel the excitement and suspense, for example, as you wander through a replica of a Mexican neighbourhood taken straight out of Tom Clancy?s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter?. A 70-seat cinema will also be showing enthusiastic gamers the latest version of Peter Jackson?s King Kong, while another will be host to the PS2 version of Prince Of Persia? 3.
