After Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot outlined his company's plans for porting existing franchises to tablets in July, a representative for the French studio has confirmed to Pocket Gamer that new IP is on its way to iPhone and Android.

"We’ll be working with some of our successful IPs and releasing new ones. We’ll also be launching on Android, but no current news for Xperia Play," our Ubi contact revealed.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed Rearmed, a top-down iOS interpretation of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s multiplayer mode, sneaked onto the Canadian App Store yesterday, much to everyone’s surprise.

And with Ubisoft confirming that development is underway on fresh titles for iPhone and Android, we shouldn't have to wait too long for a more meaty follow-up to Assassin's Creed Rearmed.

The campaign for Rayman Origins on smartphones and tablets restarts here.
