The Rayman Series

Rayman was created in 1992 by graphic artist Michel Ancel, to star in a 2D Platforming game. He is the official Ubisoft mascot.


Although the former two consoles and their games sold poorly, the Playstation version was received very well by critics and the public, selling over 10 million copies and providing Ubisoft with the financial foundations it needed to become a major games publisher.

The Prince of Persia Series

The Sands of Time, developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal, successfully captures the mechanics of the original platformer and extends it to the 3D generation.


The Sands of Time(SoT) was praised for its visual design and finely tuned game mechanics and won several awards. After the success of SoT came the even bigger Warrior Within(WW). WW again set new standards and was well received making the Prince of Persia series immortal. This is one of Ubisoft's most prized possessions.

I think you have missed some very important facts here. Ubisoft is also working on a new Prince of Persia (POP4), a new Splinter cell (called Splinter cell conviction), Far Cry2, a Naruto game and some others. Although Ubisoft never announced about some of these games, pictures of concept are and many other images were leaked from Ubisoft server and I also have most of the pics. As far as I can tell by looking at those pics, these games look great. And ya, if someone wants, i will send them to ur mail.

Is there any "official" info that they ARE working on POP4..?? If so, please share the link. 'Coz I loved that game... It was so immersive that whenever I played, I got the real feeling of being IN the game as a real Prince. I hope UBI doesn't let fans like me down...

As I said, they never officially announced. But due to their own mistake, approximately 2GB of data was leaked from their FTP server and it cantained many pics and vids. Ubisoft issued some statements, saying that such processes could hinder the development of those games. I have uploaded these here- http://hosted.filefront.com/kittoo4202004/ I think now u do believe that they are working.

In my opinion, ChessMaster 10th edition is also a quite popular product by Ubisoft. Hence it deserves highlight in the article which it didn't get.

Though it sold very poorly Beyond Good and Evil made by Ubisoft was another brilliant game brought to us by Michel Ancel
