Ubi Soft's E3 line-up

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, the Clancy siblings and Shadowbane will feature prominently

Ubi Soft has unveiled its line-up for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, taking place in Los Angeles later this month. Two recently announced Tom Clancy games, Raven Shield and Splinter Cell, will take centre stage along with Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, the anticipated sequel to the excellent Rayman 2. Speaking of Rayman, his creator Michel Ancel will be revealing his latest top-secret game at the show for the first time. Amongst the other games on display will be graphic novel inspired first person shooter XIII and a handful of licensed games, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Sum of All Fears (another Clancy game) and, ahem, Sabrina The Teenage Witch: Potion Commotion. Perhaps of most interest is the company's focus on online gaming, through console and PC. The company's massively multiplayer project Shadowbane will feature, along with the console version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and a smattering of others.
