A list of job openings posted by the Quebec studio of French publisher Ubisoft has offered information that the company might be working on a MMO project that will be launched on the upcoming Nintendo Wii U home console.

Emile Gauthier, who is a communication specialist at Ubisoft, says that the developer is looking for people to work on a Wii U game and for some interested in creating a new, unannounced triple A MMO RPG.

It is not clear whether the two job listing are linked to the same product but Nintendo has already said that it plans to attract more social experience for its new home console.

The hardware maker has also made it clear that everything about the online component in a Wii U game will be handled by the developers.

It is rumored that Nintendo is in talks with both Electronic Arts and Valve in order to get either Steam or Origin as the digital distribution solution for the Wii U.
