Several unannounced Ubisoft titles may have leaked ahead of time, if a screenshot of promotional materials posted to NeoGAF is legitimate. The slate of titles theoretically planned for Ubisoft’s Digital Days event next week reveals several games:

• Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD, which we assume is a PS3/PS4 version of the former PS Vita exclusive.
• Assassin’s Creed: Pirates, which is likely a mobile companion or side game to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
• Autodance II, a sequel to the mobile app which makes Just Dance-inspired music videos.
• Child of Light, a JRPG-inspired game which has already been semi-announced.
• EndWar Online, a new and possibly free-to-play take on the Tom Clancy’s EndWar RTS series.
• Rabbids: Big Bang, which will probably have some rabbids doing weird stuff in it.
• Rayman: Fiesta Run, likely a sequel to successful autorunner Rayman: Jungle Run.
• Valiant Hearts: The Great War, which sounds like a World War I game of some kind.

The previously confirmed games are Watch Dogs, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, Trials Frontier, Might & Magic: Duel of Champions, Panzer General Online, and Poptropica: Forgotten Islands.

We’ve asked Ubisoft about the image and will update this article with any response.

How can the Vita be saved? You’ve got to start with its most obvious flaw: the price. When Sony announced the $250/$300 price tag at E3 2011, the price drew applause for matching the 3DS’s. But by the time the Vita came to the US, the cheapest Vita was $80 more than the 3DS, and that price disparity has hurt it ever since.

The “charge less to sell more” strategy will work–and we’ve already seen it happen with the Vita. On November 22, many retailers cut a normally $250 Vita bundle down to $200, while Amazon slashed the price to $180. Though Sony didn’t exactly laud the move, the company did call out the promotion (opens in new tab) as a major source of Vita sales that week. Hopefully this was a sign of Sony testing some future, permanent price points for the portable, but the company needs to stop dilly-dallying.

The price cut needs to extend to games, too. $40 for a top of the line Vita game is a fair price, but $20-$30 would be a far better for the majority of its library. In a world with $1 apps and great mobile games under $10, $40 for almost any portable title is a stretch. The price on storage also needs to come down, given that a $60 16GB memory card is only good for about six or seven games.

And lowering the price of storage drops will make it even easier to download the free games offered on PlayStation Plus. The free games so far have been great, but Sony needs to keep that ball rolling, and it doesn’t even need to offer Vita games. In this day and age it’s hard to imagine there are many who would pay full price for PSP titles like Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Riviera: The Promised Land, or Secret Agent Clank, but all would be quickly embraced as freebies. The same goes for the huge backlog of PSOne games on PSN. Throw Klonoa, Destruction Derby, or Crash Team Racing to Vita owners gratis and it’ll feel like manna from heaven instead of dusty leftovers.
