Ubisoft’s Gamescom announcements reveal more details on its upcoming open world winter sports game Steep, including a release date before 2016 is over.
While Ubisoft’s most vocal critics have often stated that the publisher can become too complacent in its already established formulas, the company’s E3 2016 presentation this year went a long way in refuting that notion. In a conference that included both Watch Dogs 2 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, however, it was the brand new Steep that was the most innovative and intriguing Ubisoft title once the week-long gaming odyssey had finally ended.
Steep’s open world winter sports gameplay was something entirely unlike anything gamers had seen before, and although news about the game has been scarce in recent months, the title remains at the forefront of most anticipated future releases for many fans of sports gaming. Steep’s release date might be sooner than many had expected, however, as Ubisoft revealed during their Gamescom presentation earlier today that gamers can expect to be paragliding down the Alps just in time for winter. Steep will be available on December 2, 2016, and Ubisoft provided a new trailer to help demonstrate the myriad number of ways fans can explore the publisher’s new winter sports wonderland.
