Ubisoft Expands Nordic Presence, Patrick Bach to Lead Stockholm Studio

Over the years, Ubisoft has grown its internal production force to more than 30 in-house studios around the world, and 10,000-plus talented team members. In order to continue to nurture in-house creativity, surprise players, innovate, and continue to be pioneers in this constantly moving industry, we need to keep seeking out more of the best team players to rise to the challenge and accompany us on the journey.

Back in April, we announced the opening of Ubisoft Bordeaux and Ubisoft Berlin – both are looking to tap into high-potential talent pools, and give new opportunities for game developers to work on some of the most renowned brands in the industry. Always on the lookout for high potential markets, Ubisoft has identified Sweden, specifically Stockholm, as the next city to follow suit. With Patrick Bach, former studio manager of EA DICE in Stockholm, at the helm, Ubisoft Stockholm will work closely with the team at Massive in Malmö on AAA projects. We caught up with Patrick as he gets ready to open the studio doors and start meeting prospective team members.



Tell us about yourself!

I have been a game developer for more than 17 years, with 15 years spent at EA DICE in Stockholm. Before that, I worked with the commercial video industry and 3D graphics. I have been a part of creating games like RalliSport Challenge2, Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2, Battlefield 3 and 4 and I also oversaw the teams developing Star Wars Battlefront, Mirror′s Edge Catalyst and Battlefield 1.

Why did you decide to take on the challenge of opening a new studio with Ubisoft?

When talking to Ubisoft about values and goals I noticed that we shared a lot of thinking, especially when it came to the creative and practical process of making games. I feel like I will be able to use my potential in a new and different way in the Ubisoft family. I’m also looking forward to working with new world class colleagues around the world.

Why open a studio in Stockholm?

Stockholm is one of the great gaming hubs of the world with a huge pool of experienced and creative talent. That together with an international buzz and a great atmosphere makes Stockholm a very unique place to create amazing games.

What will the new studio focus on?

The focus is to create great games of course, including working with Massive on the recently announced Avatar game. To make great games you need a great team, a clear vision, great working conditions and a company backing you and supporting those pillars. I think we’ve got all those ingredients combined to make this studio a success, and offer something new on the dev scene in Stockholm.

Are you recruiting? How many people will there be in the studio?

Yes, as of today we are starting to look to recruit for all types of talent, with the goal of growing to 100 in Stockholm in two years.

In addition to the 100 new jobs in Stockholm, Massive continues to recruit for 200 positions in Malmö which means that Ubisoft is creating a total of 300 new jobs in Sweden over the next two years.

《美丽新世界 1800》开放玩家参与开发过程 随机地图、多人游玩等回归
https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/6/151566.html

　　Ubisoft Blue Byte 的德国美茵兹工作室于本届 Gamescom 曝光《美丽新世界》系列新作《美丽新世界 1800》新消息，并于现场 B2B Ubisoft 摊位中进行 20 分钟的闭门介绍，展示一部分游戏开发中内容与特色，同时也强调将认真聆听玩家回馈，以打造出好的游戏内容。

　　《美丽新世界 1800》是实时仿真经营类型游戏《美丽新世界》系列最新续作，游戏名称取为「1800」，并非指 1800 那一年，而是以 19 世纪为本作故事舞台，将带玩家回到外交活络、人类开始迈入工业化的工业时代初期，并将会历经帝国主义时代、殖民主义时代。 游戏将继承过去系列作的特色，同时国际产品经理 Nils Ehlert 表示，多人游玩、AI 敌人、随机地图等内容将在本作中回归，其中 AI 敌人方面，Nils Ehlert 特别指出，玩家在游戏中的对手将会根据玩家的行动而改变。

　　由于游戏还在早期的开发阶段，因此本次仅简短展示了一小部分的游戏内容。 虽然游戏还在开发中，但已经有了不错的画面表现且以十分拟真的风格呈现。 游戏接口与过去稍微有些不同。 这次主要示范经营城市的过程，以开幕动物园为例，原本来客数不多的动物园，在从货船收到引进的稀有动物后，参观民众开始变多。 Nils Ehlert 提到，玩家身为建造、规划人口众多的大都市的统治者，要随时注意个城市之中人民的行为，像是可能会有抗议或是冲突等事件，而玩家就要想办法解决问题，让人民过的开心；解决方式可能有很多，就靠玩家的选择。

　　目前游戏还在非常早期的开发阶段，预计 2018 年冬季于 PC 平台上发行。 国际产品经理 Nils Ehlert 表示，以游戏目前的阶段来说现在公布消息确实有点早，但是这是有原因的。 Nils Ehlert 说明，Ubisoft Blue Byte 建立了「Anno Unio」，并将透过此提供专属游戏内容，包括开发内幕、幕后花絮等，同时玩家可以参与《美丽新世界 1800》开发过程，开发团队希望能透过抢先体验了解玩家的感受。 Nils Ehlert 强调：「我们希望能听到玩家认真且真诚的感想。 通常游戏上市前会进行测试，但实际上这个时间点游戏几乎已经完成了，实时有问题也没有办法在改变，因为我们希望能在开发初期就与玩家进行沟通。 」

　　PC《美丽新世界 1800》预计 2018 年冬季上市。

《舞力全开2018》加入全新“儿童模式” 迪士尼金曲加入首发歌单

　　今天，育碧公布了迄今为止最畅销音乐游戏最新续作《舞力全开2018》中的全新模式——“儿童模式”的相关细节。在这种全新的模式下，《舞力全开2018》为广大家长的孩子们提供了一个更适宜儿童的游戏环境。得益于特别定制的游戏界面、评分系统、舞蹈编排以及特别的人物形象，孩子们也能够在获得积极且有帮助的反馈后，完全自主地享受游戏的乐趣。

　　《舞力全开》系列游戏一直都备受各大家庭的喜爱。而在《舞力全开2018》中，育碧与两位儿童成长专家：儿童舞蹈专家Martine Curtat-Cadet以及儿童概念艺术专家Cristina Do Carmo De Sousa Gomes共同合作推出的专为儿童设计的游戏模式。

　　Curtat-Cadet解释道：“年龄3至6岁的儿童很难重复快速且复杂的动作。而我们在舞蹈编排中所设计的内容将与一些肢体语言如跑动、攀爬、飞翔以及捕捉相关联。孩子们将自然而然的学习这些动作并将整个舞蹈连贯起来而非不自然的模仿。此外，舞蹈确实能够在孩子学习写作、阅读以及艺术方面起到帮助作用。”

　　因此，专为儿童编排的8首歌曲将鼓励他们进行健康运动。这些歌曲的编排比起一般的舞蹈更为简单易懂，儿童也能清楚辨认出游戏的人物及场景，例如在船甲板上跳舞的无畏海盗，拯救世界的女超人，打扮时髦的机器人，一场魔幻的万圣节之旅以及更多。

　　“儿童模式”下的游戏界面也更为精简，文字内容更少并且加入了连续的随机播放模式，可由家长选择开启。评分系统也有所调整，更容易获得高分也更为积极，当孩子们跳舞时也能够更好地鼓励他们。

　　最后，不论是小朋友还是“大朋友”都能在《舞力全开2018》的游戏中体验来自迪士尼动画电影《海洋奇缘》中的优美主题曲《How Far I’ll Go》。

　　《舞力全开2018》将于10月26日登陆任天堂Switch、Wii U、Wii，Xbox One、Xbox 360，PS4以及PS3平台。

Ubisoft Announces New Online FPS Multiplayer Title, Atomega
成长、进化与战斗 多人联机第一人称射击新作《ATOMEGA》曝光
转载 - 巴哈姆特（https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/3/152403.html）

　　Ubisoft 今日揭开全新多人联机第一人称射击游戏《ATOMEGA》，由 Ubisoft 旗下工作室 Reflections 中先前开发制作《Grow Home》及《Grow Up》的一组创新团队携手打造。 官方透露，本作将是款充满了创新实验精神，试图创造令玩家惊艳的独特概念作品，预定于 19 日在 Steam 平台推出，并支持繁体中文。

　　《ATOMEGA》将带玩家来到现实快速消弭于无形的时间尽头，世间只剩下外形体这种超级先进的后生物生命型态，外形体擅长操控物质与能量，算是人类和机器仅存的远亲。 随着物理法则逐渐消失，外形体在濒临毁灭的竞技场里为了乐趣和争夺霸主地位而战，一遍又一遍地重现宇宙的最后时刻。

　　玩家必须透过和平或武力手段收集「质量（Mass）」，让自己的外形体从灵活的「Atom」进化成有着天神力量的「Omega」。 在紧张刺激的 10 分钟回合里，最多可让 8 名玩家参战，他们将为了争夺质量与霸主地位而陷入疯狂激战。 取得「质量」的玩家将可获得分数，每回合结束时由分数最高的玩家取得胜利。 官方指出，这将是残酷无情的竞争游戏，容易上手却难以掌握，并带有呼应该游戏小规模开发团队特质的轻松愉快调性。

　　《ATOMEGA》繁体中文版将于 9 月 19 日起在 Steam 平台推出，建议售价 9.99 美金。

   

Grow, Evolve and Battle for Dominance in New Ubisoft Game Atomega

Today, Ubisoft announced Atomega, a new online multiplayer FPS available on September 19th, 2017 on Steam. Developed by Reflections, a Ubisoft studio, in the same small incubator which created Grow HomeTM and Grow Up, Atomega was made with a creatively experimental mind-set, deliberately seeking to create unusual concepts which will surprise and delight players.

Atomega takes place at the very end of time where reality is rapidly dissolving. All that exists are Exoforms, super advanced post-biological lifeforms, masters of matter, energy and the last distant relative to man and machine. As the laws of physics slowly repeal, the Exoforms fight for fun and dominance, replaying the final moments of the universe in an arena at the edge of destruction.

The player must acquire mass, by peacefully collecting it or via firefights, to evolve his Exoform from the nimble Atom to the godlike Omega. Competing for mass, players engage in a frantic battle for supremacy through intense 10-minute rounds, gathering up to eight players. Acquiring mass also grants points and the player with the most points at the end of the round wins. It is a relentlessly competitive experience, an easy to pick-up but hard to master game, with a light-hearted tone echoing the personality of its small development team.

Atomega will be available digitally worldwide on Steam on September 19th, 2017.
