Ubisoft Reflections, the studio that most recently developed Driver: San Francisco, is working on a new game designed for Kinect.

That's according to a LinkedIn profile dug up by industry sleuth Superannuation belonging to Joss Scouler, who is 'Art Lead at Ubisoft Reflections.'

Scouler's catalogue of published titles includes an entry listed as 'Confidential for now (X360 Kinect)'. He doesn't provide anything beyond that. If we were forced to take a wild stab into the dark we'd guess something Rayman/Raving Rabbids related. But that's just pure speculation.

Earlier this month Ubisoft shuttered its Vancouver studio, saying that it was unable to find "the right formula for success for the talented team there."

The publisher's 2012 lineup currently includes Rayman Origins for PlayStation Vita, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and a new Assassin's Creed title which it says will be the 'biggest yet'.

    They have one of the surprise hits of 2011 so, instead of getting to work on a sequel people might actually buy, they go work on a pointless gimmick game instead?

    Dear Publishers,

    I've found the reason the gaming industry is having such a hard time in the current depression: You're all high on drugs, f**king idiots, or both.
