Did Ubisoft sneak a new game announcement inside Watch Dogs 2?
Ubisoft's sci-fi game from Watch Dogs 2 is real, but is having troubled development
《看门狗 2》爆育碧新作《先锋》 但目前开发遇阻!
最近几天最热门的游戏要数育碧的《看门狗2》了,在这款游戏当中玩家可以前往位于旧金山的育碧工作室进行支线任务,媒体和玩家普遍猜测在支线任务中育碧对于接下来即将推出的新游戏进行了某种程度的暗示,比如刺客信条和一款太空主题的游戏作品。
今天媒体获悉《看门狗2》支线任务中出现的太空主题游戏名为《先锋(Pioneer)》,当然这也可能仅是新游戏的开发代号而已。据悉,目前这款游戏开发遇到了困难,很可能不会按原计划发布。
据知情人士透露,育碧这款名为《先锋》的游戏的确真实存在,游戏是一款拟真太空探索游戏。不过,令玩家失望的是,目前游戏的开发遇阻,游戏的主要开发人员陆续在几个月内被调离岗位,所以短时间内《先锋》不可能与玩家正式见面,或者说《先锋》极有可能重新开始制作。
另外,在《看门狗2》开发过程当中准备加入《先锋》视频彩蛋时,开发组并没有料到现在的困境,所以对于育碧来说,目前的情况多少会有些尴尬,不过这尴尬怎么也比不过《看门狗2》女性NPC角色过分细致描写的身体下部吧。
Sources: Ubisoft's Watch Dogs 2 Teaser is a Real Sci-Fi Game - But It's in Trouble
The “leaked Ubisoft trailer” inside Watch Dogs 2 is for a real sci-fi game called (or code-named) Pioneer, sources say. But Pioneer is running into troubled development and may not be announced as soon as Ubisoft had originally planned—if it comes out at all.
Watch Dogs 2, which launched today, includes a mission in which your protagonist infiltrates a mock version of Ubisoft San Francisco and steals a video game trailer, then sells it to a game website. When the trailer popped up on YouTube over the weekend, it led to loads of speculation: Was this just a fun in-joke or an actual new game that Ubisoft found a really clever way to announce?
Turns out it’s the latter. Two sources familiar with goings-on at Ubisoft tell Kotaku that this is a teaser trailer for a very real space exploration game called Pioneer. However, sources say, Pioneer hit some development hurdles (as most if not all video games do) and the game’s current status is rocky.
“The project was supposed to be announced next year,” said one source, adding that Ubisoft had replaced many of the leads on Pioneer within the past few months. “That won’t happen now and Pioneer is now being ‘retooled.’”
“When they decided to make the easter egg in Watch Dogs 2 they didn’t know it was going to be like this so it’s a bit awkward,” said a second source.
Ubisoft has not responded to a request for comment.
