Ubisoft Unveils One of Three New PSP Games

Today Ubisoft, one of the world?s leading video game publishers, announced that it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Taito Corporation of Japan to publish and distribute three video game titles in 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, Ubisoft will distribute the Taito-developed games in North American and European territories. The first title, to be released by Ubisoft in February, will be Exit, a puzzle action game for all ages exclusively for the PSP.

?Exit?s unique graphics and fluid style make this yet another innovative puzzle game in Ubisoft?s arsenal,? said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. ?Ubisoft is excited to be bringing three of the industry?s most innovative titles to gamers this year.?

As ?Mr. ESC?, a professional escapologist who can rescue people from just about any situation, Exit players must guide themselves through numerous obstacles while rescuing victims from life-threatening situations. These include braving fires, earthquakes and other disasters in various environments such as buildings, hospitals and subways. Players will undertake myriad actions, including running, jumping, climbing onto ledges and climbing down ropes on their way to becoming the ultimate escape artist.
