125 Comments on The Creators Behind Child Of Light Have Become A New Core Team At Ubisoft

The creators behind the well-received Child of Light in the Wii U eShop have revealed that they are now part of a new core team at Ubisoft. The team will be tasked with tackling a brand new project that will no doubt be equally as exciting. Hopefully it will be released on the Wii U eShop once it’s been completed.

“The group behind Ubisoft Montreal’s Child of Light has been installed as a core development team at the studio and will explore a new project, CVG can reveal.”

“We are super happy with Child of Light. The team did a good job and the game had a great reception. We were proud to deliver something new and unique – a lot of people were surprised that Montreal was delivering this kind of game.”

  6. Another yet innocent indie now in the hands of one of the 3rd party devils. Good luck not having your own team bankrupt and turning your games into split DLC scams or loaded with microtransactions since Ubishit is now another EA follower.

    2. your just retarded as usually. “Another yet innocent indie now in the hands of one of the 3rd party devils”.ubisoft is no third party devil neither is EA. ” DLC scams or loaded with microtransactions ” describe dlc scams. there are people in this world who actually enjoy ea and ubisoft games. just because they didn’t release a game on your favorite console doesn’t mean they’re ” one of the 3rd party devils”

      1. I actually agree with you there. I enjoy Ubisoft’s games. I like some of EA’s too like NFS and The Sims. And I might try Battlefield ac3 and and see if I like that too. :)

      2. Yes, I see that now. But you’re overreacting. Also, if Ubisoft didn’t make it, you should’ve bought it. The only reason you didn’t buy it is because Ubisoft published it. Which doesn’t make any sense. You just missed out on a great game because of your stubbornness.

      4. Excuses, excuses. Lol you missed out on some great games. Rayman Legends, Child of Light, Splintercell Blacklist, etc. All because you have a grudge against Ubisoft. I mean let’s be real here… You not buying their games doesn’t mean anything to them. They have plenty of other platforms to make money off of and you really aren’t proving anything by not buying their games. You’re just missing out on the games. You’re also giving them reasons to not develop games for the Wii U. Ubisoft: “Why should we make games for a platform that no one is going to buy them? Besides, they hate us anyways, so who cares?” Almost every Ubisoft game on the Wii U has bombed from now all the way back to Wii U’s launch. Even before the Rayman delay, AC3 bombed. And Assassin’s Creed is one of their big sellers so that’s really an issue. They lost way too much trying to make games on the Wii U. But for awhile, they dealt with it and just kept going. They thought to themselves “Ok. This is fine. The Wii U just has to get a bigger install base, then our games can sell more.” And over time as the Wii U’s install base slowly grew, the games still bombed. And that didn’t work out for them at all so now they are gone and done with the Wii U. Ubisoft had the most patience out of any other AAA third party developer, but their games were selling horribly and on top of that they were getting tons of backlash from Nintendo fans about the Rayman delay. And now most Nintendo fans hate them. Would you develop games on a platform where people hate you? Would you make games for people that aren’t going to buy them anyways and just call you insults? Exactly. In the end though, it’s all about money. And they weren’t making enough of it. So they pulled the plug. Lol. Of course, they’re gonna be called insults while they leave, but it doesn’t matter. They’ll be making money from the other platforms and making games for the people that actually want them. What’s sad though is that there are SOME Wii U owners that actually want to play their games, but of course, we get the punishment as well because of the other Wii U owners that don’t buy the games and call them names. This whole thing that happened with Ubisoft, the entire reason as to why any of this is happening, is because of MONEY. It has nothing to do with Nintendo and Ubisoft’s relationship with each other or any other reason. It’s simple. If the Wii U sold well and had a lot of people that wanted to play Ubisoft games, they’d have been making good money and produced more games for the system. Third parties aren’t trying to destroy the Wii U or any of that nonsense. Lol I mean, with as much money it takes for Ubisoft to make games like Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs, you really think they would joke around about making their money just to have s few laughs and giggles because the Wii U isn’t selling as good as it should? Of course not. Ubisoft wants their MONEY and they aren’t joking around about it. If they don’t get it, they’ll leave. And they did just that. And that’s where we are today. So technically, it is Nintendo fans’ fault as to why there aren’t any more games being made. They were given the opportunity to buy Ubisoft games at Wii U’s launch before any of this happened. Before the Rayman Delay, before the other two next gen consoles came, all of that. It was just Wii U. And there was no excuse. In fact, there were tons of games to choose from third parties! But everyone skipped them for some odd reason. We got Mass Effect 3 from EA and that could’ve been a chance right there to get more games from them. But everyone complains and blamed it all on EA saying that everyone already played it (even though most Nintendo fans never got to play any games in the series at all before) and it just doesn’t sound like a valid excuse. Also, it came on Wii U’s launch day. How could anyone have possibly played it any earlier on the Wii U? Nintendo managed to get a decent amount of third parties on board at launch, but the slow sales of the Wii U and the low install base made their games sell badly and they were forced to leave. And most of the other third party devs like Rockstar, Bethesda, etc weren’t even convinced to make games for Wii U. They just took one good look at it and knew that they were never going to make money off of it. They just sat on the sidelines waiting to see if it improves and other third parties benefited from it and they didn’t. Which proves them right that it was a good idea to not make any games for it. Nintendo has failed to gain the attention of the hardcore gamer, they didn’t advertise, and they made some pretty messed up decisions with the Wii U. And now as a result, 90% of third party games this gen won’t ever see their way towards the Wii U. It’s gotten to the point where only NINTENDO can save the Wii U. Either that, or 3DS owners start helping out. I mean, there’s like what? Over 40 million of them? They just sit on the sidelines while watching the sister system slowly lose all support. I suppose it wouldn’t matter though since if a 3DS owner bought a Wii U, they’d have most likely bought some Nintendo games instead of third party games. I just wish this generation could just restart so it could be different. This is literally one of the worst generations Nintendo has ever had for a console. It’s getting even less support than the Wii. And that’s not a good sign. Btw *puts up flame shield*

      22. Like I said to Quadraxis, GET ANOTHER PLATFORM if it’s that big of a deal. You should’ve known by now that it would eventually come to this. All support is gone. They got tired of making games just so they can hear comments like yours and barely make any money. We should be lucky Watch Dogs is even coming to the Wii U. Think of it as a goodbye present for all the remaining Nintendo/Ubisoft fans. Of course at this point, Ubisoft knows it’s going to bomb, but they still made it anyway. And we should be grateful for that. I honestly don’t think Wii U owners even deserve the game. They should’ve kept their money. Ubisoft was basically a test for third party games. Since they are one of the more well known AAA third party developers, if their games succeeded, more third parties would’ve followed along. But that chance is gone now. You lose Ubisoft, you lose them all unfortunately. And if you aren’t buying Watch Dogs for the purpose of “standing up to Ubisoft” then congratulations. You’re one of the very reason they quit making games. Not only do you miss out on one of their games, but now you also get nothing in return for not buying their games. So either way, it’s a loss. That’s how it works. No buy= no more games. :)

I was going to enjoy Ubisoft as part of that list of companies I like, but they fucked that shit up with their bullshit.

      29. Sigh. I understand then. But seriously, you’re missing out on stuff like Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, etc. As for me, I’m NOT going to miss out on these games. I’m getting another platform to play these on. I don’t want to miss the games. The only reason you aren’t getting these games is because not enough people bought them on Wii U. And from my understanding, you bought the Assassin’s Creeds but you aren’t getting the next one. You have to suffer just like me because some people didn’t buy the game. That’s the price you have to pay when Ubisoft doesn’t make enough money… Although I probably wouldn’t buy Assassin’s Creed Unity on Wii U because it isn’t the ideal platform for me to play it on. :/

It’s not about their DLC, which I hear is just features removed from the game itself at the last minute of post development to sell to the masses later as “DLC.” It’s more about their treatment towards the Wii U. Since they couldn’t infect the Wii U’s infrastructure with their damn Origin & thus sap money from Nintendo’s console, they showed their true colors as the greedy bastards they truly are by abandoning the Wii U when it could have really used their help.

And I don’t buy certain games after a certain amount of time passes because I hate having a backlog of games to go back & buy when there are always current games coming out I want more. So even when I do get a PS4, unless there is a drought of games I want, I won’t be going back to any of the games that came out a year or so ago.

The only Ubisoft games I have even been interested in a lot is Rayman, Far Cry, and Assassin’s Creed. I haven’t even gotten to try the other games. But everyone here thinks I praise Ubisoft and worship them. That is complete nonsense. I haven’t been remotely interested in Ubisoft games until Assassin’s Creed 3 came to Wii U. So anyone with the blind sheep Ubisoft comments can just stop. At this point, it doesn’t even matter. Ubisoft is done with the Wii U and there is no use trying to go against them anymore. People take these video games way too freaking seriously. Like Ubisoft kidnapped your family members or something. It’s completely ridiculous. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m going to buy the games I want to buy. I enjoy most of the Ubisoft games, so I am going to buy the games if I please. Call me a blind sheep and yet forget that I also own a Wii U. I’ll be enjoying Smash Bros, Sonic Boom, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, etc. And after I get another platform, all the 3rd party games as well. True gamers care about the games. Idiots care about the company. -.- Btw Nintendo Commander, this comment isn’t directed at you, I’m just putting it out there.
