Ubisoft bringing Assassin's Creed and other big franchises to tablets within 'next few years'
|

According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, you can expect to play some of the publisher's top franchises on a range of tablets within the "next few years".

Speaking yesterday at a quarterly earnings call, Guillemot addressed questions on the publisher's future and the tablet market.

"The tablet market is growing fast, we have Apple and lots of other players with tablets.

"We are developing a few products around our brands. You will see games in the next few years from all of our biggest brands like Assassin's."

In case you're concerned, the games won't just be ports of top console and PC titles. "They will be different games. They will be adapted from games in the past or specifically developed for those platforms."

So which franchises would you like to see make the leap to the tablet market?

I quickly asked around Pocket Gamer Towers and we came up with Splinter Cell, Driver, Far Cry, Beyond Good and Evil, Brothers in Arms, and Michael Jackson: The Experience.

Apparently our very own Rich B. just loves a good dance.
