Ubisoft has announced Shaun White Snowboarding will be arriving on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii sometime this holiday season.

The game is being developed in close collaboration with Shaun White (Olympic Gold Medalist and eight times X Games Gold Medalist) to “infuse the gaming experience with authenticity, personality and humor.” Shaun will mentor you in the game and help you with your skills.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will be powered by the Assassin’s Creed engine and will be the first time a snowboarding game is completely driven by physics instead of animation. The game is being developed from the ground up for the Wii. The Wii version will incorporate use of the Wii Balance Board and feature a unique storyline.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will allow players to ride in open-world mountains across the world, whether that be conquering extreme peak conditions, creating your own paths in the back country or competing with other riders in terrain parks.

Players will be able to create customizable avatars before performing different tricks and riding styles using the dual analog control, both in single player mode and online. Gamers will also be able to do runs against their friends or other gamers or simply engage in a snowball fight, take a hike or share videos of your friends tricks by uploading your films.

The Wii version sees players traveling the world to participate in various events to become a famous athlete. Two to four players can enjoy the multiplayer aspect of the game with players using the Wii Balance Board to control their rides. You will be able to take on bigger challenges in new events and competitions as your fame grows. However, earning your friends respect by riding in style is also essential to the game as they will help you find hidden areas and share music tracks.

“Shaun White Snowboarding will turn all of the traditional ideas and experiences of past action sports titles upside down,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “The combination of Ubisoft’s innovation approach and the influence of Shaun’s lifestyle and perspective make this gaming experience like no other.”
