Ubisoft to reveal 'Outland' for PSN and XBLA at PAX
Ubisoft has announced its lineup for this week's PAX convention, including playable demos of Your Shape and MotionSports for Kinect, and public demonstrations of Child of Eden, Just Dance 2 and H.A.W.X. 2 multiplayer. The company will also have a brand new title on display: Outland for PSN and XBLA, for which attendees will be able to see "a sneak peek."
It's possible this game is related to the upcoming Outland movie remake. Ubisoft hasn't given any clues other than the title, so it could be a game based on the comic strip, for all we know. We'll all find out at PAX, unless everyone is too busy pre-ordering Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (you get a free T-shirt for pre-ordering the game at PAX) or staring at Child of Eden to notice.
