The Toys-to-Life game will come to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.
Ubisoft Toronto, developer of Splinter Cell Conviction, has announced its new game, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which is aiming for a fall 2018 launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
Revealed during the Ubisoft press conference, Starlink incorporates a toys-to-life structure, with a modular ship and its pilot attaching atop the player’s controller. Pieces can be added to or taken off the base ship model, instantly altering the in-game version, while players can choose to play as different pilots based on the figure attached to their controller.
The game follows a group of pilots who have travelled to the Atlas Star System, and will see players controlling their ship from a third-person perspective both in outer space and on the surface of planets. Aerial dogfights will occur in space, while players will battle with a variety of terrestrial enemies when near a planet’s surface.
