Ubi To Open New Quebec Studio

GamesIndustry.biz has word that Ubisoft is planning the construction of a second studio in the Canadian province of Quebec. The money for the construction is likely partially the result of the previously announced alliance between the Quebecois government and the French software developer. From the article: "Ubisoft will invest $75 million Canadian (more than $60 million US) in the project over the next five years. The new studio will employ some 200 designers, animators and programmers."

    Splinter Cell: Quebec Under Siege!

    After taking care of the last world-threatening terrorist plot, Sam Fisher is taking a relaxing vacation in the BEST place on earth, Quebec. But Sam's vacation will have to wait....evil Canadian forces threaten to destroy Quebec's very way of life in a cowrdly attempt to stem the tide of secessionism that has been rising in Quebec ever since...well...it's always been like that, hasn't it?

    "Those damned Canadians", Sam growls..."why can't they just accept that Quebec doesn't WANT to be part of Canada? WHY???"

    Usually, Sam plies his trade in the service of the United States Government, but this time, IT'S PERSONAL!

    Be the first on your block to download the demo, and help Sam defend a precious poutine factory from the evil Canadians.
