Well hello! Apparently people at Ubisoft can’t really keep things a secret, especially one named Ashley Morgan, a Level Designer at Ubisoft Montreal. What we know now is Microsoft indeed does have the Xbox 720 ‘Next Gen’ out and things are most likely progressing quickly. Given the fact that Ubisoft is currently working on the game Ryse that is geared towards the Xbox 720 ‘Next Gen’ we now highly suspect that Microsoft will be unveiling the console at the 2012 International CES by Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer. The proof is available after the break.
As per Ashley’s LinkedIn profile, GizmoFusion has discovered the following:
