Ubisoft to showcase new next-gen IP at Gamescom 2013

Ubisoft has announced the list of games it will be showcasing at the upcoming Gamescom event this year, but interestingly, the company has also stated that it will be showcasing a new IP that will be making its way to next-gen consoles.

Games showcased at Ubisoft's panel at Gamescom include Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, The Crew, Might & Magic: Duel of Champions Online Card Game, Might & Magic: Heroes Online, Might & Magic: X Legacy, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, Rayman Legends, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Watch Dogs. The new IP doesn't seem to have been mentioned in the list at all.

"This year's Gamescom is particularly exciting because it's the first time players can really get their hands on the next-gen consoles and games they have been waiting for," Yves Guillemot, co-founder and CEO at Ubisoft said in a statement. "Gamescom is a unique opportunity for us to connect face-to-face with our fans and listen to their feedback, and we think they'll love what we're bringing to this year's show."

Ubisoft’s upcoming releases include the pirate-themed Assassin’s Creed 4 and the dystopian cyberpunk open-world game Watch Dogs. More immediately, the company will be releasing stealth-action game Splinter Cell: Blacklist later this month.

Most of the games showcased at Ubisoft panels will be launched not only for the current-gen consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), but will also be hitting next-gen systems (Xbox One, PlayStation 4).

Gamescom 2013 will take place from August 21 to August 25. It is a yearly gaming event that takes place in Cologne, Germany.
