Jade Raymond Plans Five “AAA” Titles
That’s right, not one, not even three but five triple-A titles are the target for Jade Raymond and the new Ubisoft Toronto studio. It is no real secret that Jade and co are currently working on the next iteration in the Splinter Cell series alongside another title that is yet to be named but it has been recently re-confirmed.
Jade Raymond has told Develop:-
“We want to grow to 800 staff in 10 years, we’re on two major projects now, and eventually we’ll be working on five. I can’t say specifics now, we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves in our first year. But yeah, that’s the plan.”
“The bottom line is the way we are developing games today is changing. Games are growing into huge-scale triple-A projects. If you look at any big brand like GTA, the games are being done across multiple studios and multiple teams.”
“Once your team reaches over 200 people – even if they’re in the same studio – you need complex management methods to make sure everything is held together; the feature development, the communication, and everything else”.
So, there you have it. Is it wildly ambitious? Yes, but we would love to see them pull it off because lets face it, you can never have enough quality titles to play.

I am one of the founding members who decided to get together and begin this amazing site with like minded people....Uni is an amazing thing!
I live, breathe, eat, sleep and drink GEEK! Been gaming since I was 4 years old and have made it my mission to own every gaming platform since I held my first NES controller. There isn't a genre I don't enjoy, if a game is even remotely good I'll be playing it. In my spare time (when I'm not gaming) I like to feed my anime, Japanese Culture and Gundam model kit addictions.
If we are going to get on there is two things you need to acknowledge - Hideo Kojima is a GOD and Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a master piece!
God truly is a GEEK!
