Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft, discussed plans to support VR technologies from various providers in an analyst call yesterday. With Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus coming in early 2016, Valve developing their own headset with HTC, and Microsoft's HoloLens on the horizon, Ubisoft wants to be at the forefront of all the hype.
"We believe a lot in virtual reality because we see that it is really giving a chance for gamers to be more immersed in worlds, and we are developing a certain number of games that are going to take advantage of this new possibility," said Guillemot, "We think it is going to bring more players to the universe of video games, and we are going to come with our brands. We will have a few titles in the first year and we will have regular games coming following that."
Supporting the Wii Remote and Kinect at launch with exclusive titles, Ubisoft has never shied away from new technologies. Which of their IPs do you think would be a good fit for the nascent technology? Let us know!
