10 Announcements We Want To Hear At Gamescom

7. Ubisoft Unveils New IP, Child of Light

ubisoft If the rumours are true, that Ubisoft is going to unveil their next IP for next-gen consoles at Gamescom, then they certainly have a lot to live up to after the prior reveal of the much-hyped Watch Dogs, which single-handedly took E3 2012 by storm. Many believe that the game Ubisoft will be showing off is Child of Light, a Final Fantasy-esque RPG which was briefly shown to press at today's European GDC conference, with a unique art style that certainly proved enticing. Granted, this won't result in a Watch Dogs level of excitement given that it has already been shown off in brief, but a deeper examination of the gameplay mechanics and general feel of the game has the potential to nevertheless go down a storm, especially when the general RPG landscape seems so barren at the moment.
