UbiDays to return in late May

Ubisoft's throwing a party.

Ubisoft is bringing back UbiDays!

The show that brought us live rabbits pooing and a weird French dancing man and not enough beer will return to Paris's Louvre museum on 28th and 29th May.

Selected European press and partners will be invited along to see Ubisoft's games, hopefully including all those ones announced last year that we know nothing about (Tom Clancy's Air Combat, anyone?), and Ubisoft is promising "similar surprises and exclusive announcements".

Last time we found out about Beowulf, for one. Assassin's Creed 2, anyone?

"The inaugural UBIDAYS in 2007 was a big step for us and a calculated bet, given the worldwide evolution of the industry," said Alain Corre, EMEA executive director.

"The positive feedback from last year convinced us that this was the ideal way to present our games and to have enriching exchanges with partners who support us year after year.

"We're eagerly awaiting UBIDAYS 2008, which is already shaping up to offer a look at future industry trends and the group's upcoming blockbuster titles."

We'll be there, obviously, smoking outside on the steps and bringing you all the latest previews and interviews with the likes of, well, many of the people who were there last year but whose games needed a bit longer in the oven.
