ORIGINAL STORY:.

It appears Ubisoft has inadvertently released details of a new installment in the Might and Magic video game series called Might and Magic: Duel of Champions.

On March 30, 2012, Ubisoft registered a handful of new domain names that point to the game like MightandMagicDuelofChampions.com (Whois) and DuelofChampions.com (Whois).

In all, four domain names related to the game title were registered including:

duel-of-champions.com
duelofchampions.com
mightandmagicduelofchampions.com
mm-doc.com

Ubisoft Entertainment has not announced anything about the game’s release date or developer.

As of the time of writing, none of the domains resolve to a website.

In October 2011, Ubisoft released Might & Magic Heroes VI (pictured above), part of the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

Ubisoft registers Ubiloud.com domain

Ubisoft

Ubi-this.  And Ubi-that.  Video game publisher Ubisoft has registered a new domain name this week: Ubiloud.com.

According to Whois records, Ubisoft Entertainment purchased the name on March 29, 2012.

It’s unknown what the future will bring for Ubiloud.  As of right now, the domain name does not resolve to a web page.

In a recent interview with Pocket-lint, Chris Early, head of digital at Ubisoft, said the company will launch a cloud-based storage system that will allow players to save game data across multiple devices such as an iPhone and iPad.

Could Ubiloud be the name of the new cloud-based storage service?

That’s probably a stretch.  But with Ubicloud.com already owned by someone else, anything is possible, including the name being nothing more than a defensive purchase to prevent others from owning the name.

Ubisoft Entertainment registers the domain name JustDancePropel.com

Just Dance Propel

Back in mid February, Ubisoft reported its final sales figures for third quarter 2011-12 and its flagship game Just Dance was a “star performer”.  Around the same time, what was purported to be Ubisoft’s official 2012 release schedule was posted to the internet by Gameranx, which included a game titled Just Dance Final Party.  However, Ubisoft quickly shot down rumors saying the lineup was inaccurate to a number of sites that had published the list.

With such a strong franchise, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise that the next Just Dance title is already in the works, but what could it be named?

How about Just Dance Propel?

According to Whois records, Ubisoft Entertainment registered the domain JustDancePropel.com on March 2, 2012.

As for rumored titles like Just Dance Final Party and Just Dance Best Of, Ubisoft doesn’t seem all that interested. 

In fact, at the time of this story going online, neither of the domain names are registered.

Currently, justdancepropel.com resolves to a parked page on Gandi.net.
