King Kong will grace store shelves at the beginning of the holiday season, in conjunction with the December 2005 release of the film. Ubisoft anticipates King Kong to be their most successful game of the year. We were fortunate enough to nab a spot in the Ubisoft mini-theater, nestled in a theme park-reminiscent bamboo structure. Exhibitors were in top-secret mode, demanding that all recording devices (including cell phone cameras) be turned off and put away. After the small room went pitch black, the viewing began with commentary by top collaborators Peter Jackson and acclaimed Ubisoft game creator, Michel Ancel.
