Looks like Ubisoft is trying to undermine Universal's Nintendo land. Too bad they got the wrong location.

So will you only be able to ride the rides if you climb the tower in their respective park district first? tongue

Also, don't forget to visit the Pre Patch Assassins Creed Unity House of Horrors! Not suitable for people under 18. tongue

In all seriousness, is there anything worth discussing about in the topic? Otherwise this is going to get locked at some point...

As great as this sounds, what's the point of talking about something that won't be open in four years?

Well just as one of the previous tropers said, we could get some mileage out of this trying to imagine out what kinds of attractions and rides they'll have. Just think of the possibilities with the Splinter Cell and Far Cry worlds could give - guns, hallucinogenic drugs, terrorism, guns, violence, the potential to make a really sweet rollercoaster based on Shangri-La or Jason Brody's hallucinations, more guns, trying to creep the hell outta your significant other by sneaking around the house with Sam Fisher's nightvision goggles and pretending their trademark green glow isn't visible... such fun to be had!

I recall that the Rook Islands in Far Cry 3 appear to be in the Malay Archipelago given the fauna and the language spoken by the locals, so I suppose they got that nailed. That's a fairly unlikely choice for a family-friendly attraction though, although the same could be said for Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell.

On the other hand, this is much more likely to be done well than Wawasan 2020...

Why Malaysia, though? Do they have a lot of fans in Southeast Asia?

[up]Well, yes. Not as many as DOTA (*insert Tagalog obscenities here*), but still quite a few. Ubisoft has a branch studio in Singapore as well, so I suppose that might be a factor. As cramped as Kuala Lumpur can be, it's a bigger place than Singapore and has more space to build things.

What could they even feasibly make a decent attraction out of?

The only thing that they're really known for sans Rayman and Rabbids are games that would either be boring, tremendously unsafe, upset Moral Guardians, or a mixture of two of them.

Well Rabbids are pretty much identical to Minions, so maybe they're trying to capitalize on the latter's popularity?

I'd be somewhat less motivated to shank a Rabbid than I would a Minion. Initially, at least.

Although I doubt that having their Rabbids Go Home incarnation be a part of the park would get past the Moral Guardians here, considering some of the contents of the game (or more appropriately their implications).

Why not Canada? Ubisoft has a lot of branches there (Montreal and Toronto).
