<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">This time last year Ubisoft was reveling in acclaim, as the unofficial <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2012/jun/06/e3-2012-ubisoft-best-publisher">'winners' of E3 2012</a>. The company wowed gamers with its surprise introduction of <i><a href="/game/watch-dogs/3661" class="sbn-auto-link">Watch Dogs</a>,</i> a modern-noire thriller about a world in which information-technology is paramount.</span></p>
<p><q class="right">How much damage do these leaks really cause? </q></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">This year's E3? The power of information has delivered tougher lessons. The company's E3 2013 trailer for </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/9/4412582/watch-dogs-e3-2013-trailer-leaks"><i>Watch Dogs</i> was leaked</a><span style="line-height: 1.5;">, just one day before its official unveiling.</span></p>
<p>With 2013 devoted to hardware launches, a third-party publisher outshining Sony or Microsoft was never very likely. But Ubisoft's fireworks display has been somewhat dampened by the leak.</p>

<p>According to Ubisoft, it's an MMO-like game that takes place in New York, with the country thrown into anarchy after a pandemic unleashed by a terrorist. The demo was set in Brooklyn, with the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges in the background. You can watch the demo below.</p>
<p>Massive developed the competitive and co-op multiplayer components of <em>Far Cry 3</em> and the Desmond content in <em>A...</em></p>

<p><i>Just Dance 2014</i> will launch on "all motion control platforms" in October, and will arrive on next-gen platforms after that, Ubisoft announced during its E3 press conference.</p>
<p>A few of the game's artists — a roster that includes Nicki Minaj, Psy and One Direction — and new features were revealed in a debut trailer. Up to six players will be able to dance at once this time around, and can participate in an "on stage mode," which wasn't explained in the video. The game will also feature a DJ mode, where players can switch between songs and "shape the music" by moving their bodies.</p>
<p>A Wii U mode was also shown off where one player was capable of issuing dance commands to the other four players by choosing flash cards from the GamePad.</p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="/game/south-park-the-stick-of-truth/3650"><em>South Park: The Stick of Truth</em></a>, the upcoming licensed RPG from Obsidian and new publisher Ubisoft, will launch this holiday season, a trailer for the title aired at Ubisoft's E3 2013 press conference revealed.</p>
<p>The release window was snuck into the end of the aforementioned trailer in a quote from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="/franchise/south-park/3648">South Park's</a> Eric Cartman, who said the 360, PS3 and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="/windows">Windows</a> PC title would launch either this holiday season <span style="line-height: 1.5;">"or some holiday season sometime soon, you know how video games work." In May, we learned the game was </span><a href="http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/3/4296322/south-park-the-stick-of-truth-is-still-on-track-for-2013-launch">on track</a><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> for a 2013 launch, so it certainly seems like his disclaimer was satirical.</span></p>
