Ubisoft Montreal's 'Osiris' Uncovered in Leaked Video

NeoGAF users have discovered video evidence of an unannounced Ubisoft title called Osiris.

The work-in-progress trailer features unfinished motion capture spliced with various pieces of concept art. The trailer notes this mysterious game is “from the studio that brought you Assassin’s Creed”.

The “rough-cut demo” for “Ubisoft’s Osiris” was posted to the Vimeo account of composer Mark Kilian (Rendition, Traitor) five months ago, along with samples from films he’s also worked on, as part of what appears to be a portfolio. It is described as “commissioned by Ubisoft Studios (Montreal)”. It has gone unnoticed until now.

The video likely explains speculation stemming from leaked images last year that Ubisoft was working on a new Prince of Persia title. In particular, one of the three trailer screencaps we saw last year appears to match the mock-up trailer posted on Kilian’s Vimeo account.

Earlier today Ubisoft confirmed to us that the publisher had “paused” the Prince of Persia franchise while it considers new ideas. Is Osiris something entirely new? It seems increasingly possible.

Osiris was an ancient Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead.
