Ubisoft has proven is it not a one trick pony. Already the third largest western independent developer, Ubisoft looks to strengthen its position within the gaming world in 2008 with another strong lineup of highly anticipated original games, continuing franchises and multi-platform titles.

With the success of Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft is riding high after a groundbreaking year. Sales jumped 44 percent during Ubisoft’s fiscal third quarter with $625 million in sales. With last years success, Ubisoft is projecting that the company will make somewhere around $1.2 billion in total sales in 2008 and $1.3 billion in 2009. It is in the strength of its games - most of which have a devoted fan base - where Ubisoft will continue to grow.

A number of high-profile titles are do to make their debut this year (2008), included the original title Haze, a new Prince of Persia sequel, an unnamed snowboarding game that is linked to Shaun White, Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and Tom Clancy’s EndWar. There are no confirmed dates for any of these titles as of yet.
