"We will have six to eight of the key launch titles on 3DS, so we are expecting anywhere between 25 to 30 percent on the platform," he said.

Ubisoft has announced it's working on at least five brand new games, including some of its biggest core brands such as Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Ghost Recon, Battle of Giants: Dinosaur Strike and Driver.
