E3: Ubisoft CEO Has Not Forgotten Splinter Cell, Announces Starlink

/

Although Ubisoft did not mention any news about Splinter Cell, in a YouTube Live at E3 video, the CEO of Ubisoft has said "We are not forgetting Splinter Cell". Ubisoft Toronto's Splinter Cell: Blacklist was the last Splinter Cell game from 2013.

"I can't say much about that. For sure, all the Clancy games are taken care of. It's just that we have a lot on our plate at the moment and The Division continues to be played and Rainbow Six too. I think yesterday was even one of the highest numbers of players playing...So all the Clancy games are coming along. We are not forgetting Splinter Cell."

Ubisoft did announce Starlink: Battle for Atlas which will be available in Fall of 2018 for Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

E3: Alto's Odyssey Looks Great On Sand

/

Alto's Odyssey is set for release sometime this year, and it looks like we're trading in the snowy peaks of Alto's Adventure for sandy ones in Odyssey.  There was a Youtube interview from E3 that Kotaku wrote about:

"Eli Cymet, lead producer for development team Built By Snowman, talked with Gameslice host Geoff Keighley about Alto’s Odyssey yesterday at E3, showing off some of the game’s new moves. Wall rides and dynamic obstacles add some upward motion to the downhill boarding game without adding any control complexity—it’s still a simple one-finger game."
