Ubisoft is set to enter the eSports market with “The Next Level,” a livestreamed gaming competition debuting this weekend at PAX Prime in Seattle.
The Next Level features a selection of Ubisoft-published games, offering prizes ranging from scholarships to trips to upcoming events. The contest is aimed at players of all skill levels, and branches out from traditional eSports offerings with competitions for the motion-sensing dance sim Just Dance 2014 and the free-to-play RPG The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. The PAX Prime event will also host challenges for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, The Crew, and Rayman Legends.
“The Next Level brings all the elements of eSports style competition that make it engaging and fun to watch but tests player’s skills with challenges in different games and genres opening up the playing field to anyone interested in competitive gaming,” said Josh Milligan, Ubisoft’s senior director of player engagement.
