Ubisoft announces Rabbids Invasion ‘interactive TV show’ coming to Xbox One
Posted in: Today's ChiliAt Ubisoft’s pre-E3 press conference it’s just announced a new platform for its Rabbid characters, the Rabbids Invasion interactive TV show. Launching on the Xbox One, it allows the viewer to actively participate in certain scenes in order to move the story along. That can include such kid-friendly activities as dancing along with the Rabbids, shouting at them, or helping them aim at each other in an egg fight. Yeah, Watch_Dogs this ain’t, but it will be interesting to see if this combo of passive content and active interaction catches on with next generation hardware.

Ubisoft E3 2013 liveblog!
Posted in: Today's ChiliIn a normal E3 year, we might not liveblog Ubisoft’s annual press briefing, but this year’s different. This year’s special. And Ubisoft is known for being an especially supporting partner when it comes to new game hardware launches, so we’re here in downtown Los Angeles at the … Los Angeles Theater to bring you breaking coverage of the French game publisher’s next-gen plans. With Assassin’s Creed 4 and Watch Dogs out of the way, what else does Ubi have up its sleeves? Let’s find out below!
E3 2013 is nearly upon us, and this year’s press briefing lineup is an eensy bit different from past years — most notably, there are four stage presentations on Monday alone, and Nintendo’s sitting this year out. Rather than spreading out the gaming news cavalcade across one and a half days, 2013’s press briefings are all Monday (excepting Nintendo’s live video broadcast on Tuesday morning, of course, which we’ll have available ahead of its 10AM EDT kickoff on Wednesday morning).
The full list for tomorrow’s proceedings follows, including timestamps and links for you to set your alarm clocks and clicking fingers by (respectively):
- 12:30PM to 2:00PM EDT: Microsoft Xbox briefing liveblog
- 4:00PM to 5:00PM EDT: Electronic Arts briefing liveblog
- 6:00PM to 7:00PM EDT: Ubisoft briefing liveblog
- 9:00PM to 12:00AM EDT: Sony PlayStation briefing liveblog
