There's no shortage of RPGs on the market these days (certainly different from when I was growing up!), bu tthat doesn't mean fans of the genre aren't always on the lookout for good new ones. Surely the ears of those fans will perk up when they hear that Ubisoft is working on a new fantasy-themed RPG.
Inside Mac Games spotted a listing on Gamasutra from Ubisoft Entertainment Shanghai seeking a Lead Game Designer on what they describe as "brand new fantasy RPG title for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac". Looks like you'll need a minimum of five years of experience in the industry to apply and also to have shipped at least two AAA RPG titles in a senior or lead game designer role.
Interesting, indeed. I'd like to see what kind of RPG Ubisoft might come up with. We haven't seen anything from them in this genre since they published Enchanted Arms, and that one got pretty middle-of-the-road scores. We'll keep an eye on this for you and let you know when we find out more.

Let's hope they can make a game that doesn't suck this time.
Whatever they do... they need to stay away from anything like the last Dark Messiah Might and Magic Elements or whatever it was called... that game was soooooo damn horrid.
WTF? Are you kidding me, the PS1 had a incredible collection of RPG.
Of course we have some blockbusters now, but it's kinda hard to find things like FFVII(and the others), Chrono Trigger and Cross, Valkyre Profile and etc.
If I remember right... I think Ubisoft Shanghai did most of the PS2 Splinter Cell ports (if you want to call them that). Anyway, I do agree if this is being built from the ground up by Ubisoft solely, it will most likely be a classy game. I'm looking forward to what they are making.
Unless the RPG is full of Rabbids - they are pretty awesome.
