Video game developer and publisher Ubisoft announced the
release of the game Shaun White Snowboarding, which was produced with the help
of Olympic Gold Medalist and eight-time X Games Gold Medalist, Shaun White.
The game, powered by Assassin’s Creed engine, promises a world
of total freedom and a brand new experience for all the game’s enthusiasts,
presenting a unique storyline quest with the Olympic winner. The trip initially
begins in Canada, then to Chile, to a spot in the Alps, then heads to Japan and
then finally the journey ends in Park City, Utah.
Shaun White Snowboarding will allow players to decide how,
where and with whom they prefer to ride. For the ones who prove themselves
worthy, White can also be unlocked and used as a playable character.
In order to finish the game, players will have to earn fame
points and respect points. The fame is earned by winning competitions and challenges
and it will help gamers unlock resorts and new locations, while the respect
points received from your friends, after discovering a hidden area, will unlock
new songs and scrapbook items.
Ubisoft tried at the best of its ability to capture the
movement’s culture, focusing on the attitude, the music and the language. Shaun
White was also involved in choosing the tracks and at least 20 songs will be
present in the final version.
The game will be put out on the market starting this summer
and it will be available for Play Station 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and also PC.
