Ubisoft has announced that it is once again teaming up with Olympic Gold Medalist snowboarder Shaun White in the new Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the game will be available exclusively for the Wii later this year.
“Working with Shaun on the first title was an excellent experience,” said Antoine Guignard, producer of Shaun White Snowboarding : World Stage at Ubisoft. “The great public reception of Shaun White Snowboarding and the wonderful collaboration with Shaun made it a slam dunk for us to reunite to create a fun, new adventure for fans.”
Players will hit the slopes with Shaun White and his crew, but this time the stakes are higher as you pursue the world’s top competitions from a half-pipe in the middle of New York’s Time Square to the most prestigious competitions of France, Canada and Japan.
“Ubisoft has been a great partner, and I m excited for World Stage,” said action sports star Shaun White. “It s cool to give people insight on what my life is like on the competition circuit.”
Shaun White Snowboarding was a big success for Ubisoft, selling millions of copies since its November 2008 launch and establishing a new sports brand for Ubisoft. The title was also one of the first and most popular video games compatible with the Wii Balance Board. Players will be able to break out their Balance Boards once again for Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage when they flex their board skills either alone or together with family and friends.
