Ubisoft have elected to pull their upcoming game “I Am Alive” from its producers Darkworks in order to produce it themselves.

A spokesman for Ubisoft had this to say: “In order to respect the new launch date for this ambitious title, and Darkworks having other obligations, we have mutually decided to complete development of I Am Alive at Ubisoft Shanghai, as the two studios have collaborated on aspects of the title over the past year. The team at Darkworks has respected its contractual obligations on the project and will be a part of the success of the game when it launches.”

Darkworks CEO Antoine Vilette said this on the matter: “It has been a long time we have been working with them and, as an external developer, we have been treated well,” “For Ubisoft, for original IP it is very aggressive. They are quite willing to take risks and they deserve some applause for that. They have as much original IP as they do sequels but I think that’s fair.”

Wheelman is an upcoming film starring Vin Diesel. Midway announced earlier today that they will be teaming up with Ubisoft to create the game adaptation of the film. they also said that Vin Diesels likeness and voice will be used in the game as the main character Milo Burik. Wheelman is set for release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC on March 24th.
