Animal Crossing Meets Minecraft In Ubisoft's Upcoming Game: Report
The new game is described as an "Animal Crossing-inspired social sim," where players inhabit a home island shared with NPCs known as Matterlings. These quirky characters are likened to Funko Pop figures, featuring exaggerated head proportions and designs that blend fictional and real-world creatures, ranging from polar bears to dragons.Ubisoft Montreal is reportedly developing a social simulation game codenamed Alterra, blending elements inspired by Nintendo ADR's (OTC:NTDOY) Animal Crossing and Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Minecraft.
據報道，育碧蒙特利爾正在開發一款社交模擬遊戲，代號爲Alterra，融合了受任天堂ADR（OTC:NTDOY）的《動物之森》和微軟公司（NASDAQ:MSFT）的《Minecraft》啓發的元素。
The project, led by former Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding has been in development for approximately 18 months, according to a report from Insider Gaming.
據Insider Gaming報道，這個項目由前《哥譚騎士》創意董事帕特里克·雷丁領導，已經開發了大約18個月。
A New Direction: Social Sims And Voxel Creativity
全新方向：社交模擬遊戲和體素創作
Alterra is said to have emerged from the remnants of a canceled Ubisoft Montreal project, which also centered around voxel-based creation.
據說Alterra源自於一個被取消的育碧蒙特利爾項目的殘餘，該項目也是以基於體素的創作爲中心。
The new game is described as an "Animal Crossing-inspired social sim," where players inhabit a home island shared with NPCs known as Matterlings. These quirky characters are likened to Funko Pop figures, featuring exaggerated head proportions and designs that blend fictional and real-world creatures, ranging from polar bears to dragons.
這款新遊戲被描述爲「以《動物之森》爲靈感的社交模擬遊戲」，玩家們在一個家島上和被稱爲Matterlings的NPC共享生活。這些古怪的角色被比作Funko Pop玩偶，擁有誇張的頭部比例和融合了虛構和現實生物的設計，包括從北極熊到龍等形形色色的角色。
The gameplay reportedly combines social elements with a voxel-based building mechanic reminiscent of Minecraft. Players gather resources from different biomes beyond their home island to craft items and structures. Each biome features unique Matterlings, enemies and materials.
據報道，遊戲玩法將社交元素與類似《Minecraft》的基於體素的建築機制相結合。玩家們從家島之外的不同生態區域收集資源，用來製作物品和建築物。每個生態區域都有獨特的Matterlings、敵人和材料。
For example, an ice biome might host snow-themed Matterlings and provide resources for crafting objects made of snow and ice. Players may also encounter others while exploring these diverse regions.
例如，一個冰凍生態區可能會有主題爲雪的Matterlings，並提供用於製作雪和冰物品的資源。玩家們也可能在探索這些多樣的地區時遇到其他人。
Key Talent And Timeline
主要人才和時間表
The project is helmed by Ubisoft Entertainment SA's (OTC:UBSFF) veteran Fabien Lhéraud, serving as lead producer, alongside Redding's creative leadership.
該項目由育碧娛樂（OTC: UBSFF）的資深Fabien Lhéraud領導，擔任首席製作人，與Redding的創意領導一起。
While details remain limited, Insider Gaming's report suggests that Alterra is still in its early stages, with a release likely several years away.
雖然細節仍有限，Insider Gaming的報告表明Alterra仍處於早期階段，發行可能還有幾年時間。
The Broader Ubisoft Landscape
更廣泛的育碧格局
The publisher is gearing up for the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows and Anno 117: Pax Romana next year. Meanwhile, projects like Beyond Good & Evil 2 and the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake continue to face protracted development timelines, with the latter now eyeing a 2026 release.
該發行商正準備明年推出《刺客信條：陰影》和《模擬城市117：羅馬和平》。與此同時，像《異度之刃2》和《波斯王子：時之沙》重製版等項目繼續面臨拖延的開發時間表，後者現在瞄準在2026年發佈。
In addition, Ubisoft recently ventured into blockchain gaming, launching its first NFT-based game featuring collectible figurines priced as high as $64,000.
