Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Shanghai are working on AAA next-gen RPGs, while Ubisoft Montreal has a next-gen IP on its radar, a few LinkedIn profiles spotted by PlayStation Lifestyle (http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2012/12/05/ubisofts-next-gen-plans-their-own-cloud-gaming-service-an-aaa-racing-game-far-cry-3-devs-online-rpg-watch-dogs/) divulge.

At Sweden's Massive Entertainment, co-developer of Far Cry 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/far-cry-3), one game designer listed a "AAA next-gen online RPG" before changing it to somethingmore vague (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/marc-cartwright/40/2ba/20). We grabbed a screenshot here (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/ubi.jpg). Over at Ubisoft Shanghai, a senior gameplay/network programmer listed a "'Confidential Title (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/ubi2.png)' next-gen console (RPG)."

A game designer for Rayman Legends listed a next-gen console racer that he's been working on since August 2011, PlayStation Lifestyle reported. He removed the listing before we could snap a shot.

A 3D animator (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/ubi4.png) and a concept artist (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/ubi3.png) from Ubisoft Montreal list an "unannounced next-gen" IP on their LinkedIn profiles, the animator specifying work from December 2011 - February 2012. Neither employee lists Watch Dogs (http://www.joystiq.com/game/watch-dogs), the game whose other-worldly graphics (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/04/watch-dogs-announced-for-next-gen-consoles/) made such a splash at E3, on their resumes.
