Ubisoft, best known for developing video games such as Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia, has announced that it is working on developing a next- generation theme park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, based around its most popular

franchises.

Ubisoft have some previous theme park development experience, having developed the TEA Award-winning Rabbids dark ride at Futuroscope. Led by Ubisoft Motion Pictures, the theme park project will, according to a statement, “combine a rich portfolio of world-renowned brands and an expertise in designing highly interactive gaming experiences, to revolutionise guests’ journeys.”

Ubisoft are partnering with the under-development 20th Century Fox Movie Animation Park Studios’ owners RSG Group on the development. The 10,000sq m (107,600sq ft) theme park will be located in central Kuala Lumpur and will feature innovative Ubisoft-themed rides, attractions and shows. The development is scheduled for completion by 2020.

“Together we are creating a place where every guest is a player, every ride is a playground, every visit is a game,” said Jean de Rivières, senior vice president of Ubisoft Motion Pictures. “In RSG, we’ve found a partner with a successful track record in working with international brands, a shared ambition to design the family destination of the future, and a wealth of expertise in theme park development.”
