Snowboarding sensation Shaun White may be an Olympic Gold Medalist and frequent X-Games champion, but now he can add something else to his list of accomplishments: video game star. Ubisoft has announced that they are publishing an extreme sports game called Shaun White Snowboarding, which will be out this holiday season. The game will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, which will actually make Shaun White Snowboarding the first snowboarding game to make an appearance on the PS3.



Normally I would dismiss this as just another extreme sports game, but this one stands out a little bit due to the fact that it will reportedly use the Assassin’s Creed engine. Yes, that’s right, I said that it will use the same engine as the stealth action game from the same publisher. Since Ubisoft has proven to be much better at stealth kills than extreme sports (remember Nitrobike? I’d rather not), it will be interesting to see how this actually works. I’m guessing that Shaun will slide off the half-pipe and stab a random crowd member in the back. Now that’s extreme!
