Jobs ads hint at new online role-playing game for Nintendo's next system

Ubisoft is cooking up a new MMORPG for Nintendo's Wii U. This week, the company posted a number of jobs ads seeking all manner of online talent to help the studio develop a “Wii U – AAA Title” out of its Quebec City, Quebec (Canada) headquarters.

Other jobs include 3D Animator, GFX Artist, Online Game Design Project Manager, and five other game design roles.

It's anyone's guess as to what Ubisoft is planning for Nintendo's Wii upgrade. The studio certainly has a number of franchises it could easily MMO-ify; but then it's also no stranger to tackling licensed titles. Maybe this a move to bump its Battle of Giants series for the DS and 3DS to the next level. Or maybe we're witnessing the start of a new Might and Magic. How about an Assassin's Creed MMO, as Ubisoft has said the franchise is headed to Wii U? Feel free to share your predictions and speculations below.
