Video game publisher Ubisoft confirms that both Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs will be launched on the newly revealed Xbox One home console from Microsoft.

The company says that it has six titles in development for the new hardware but that four are secret projects that will be shown later, probably during E3 2013.

Yves Guillemot, co-founder and chief executive officer at Ubisoft, states, "The next generation of consoles will reinvigorate our industry and make it possible for us to deliver incredible new entertainment to gamers."

He adds, "Our teams are using the innovations in connectivity, immersion and social gaming included in Xbox One to create original and memorable next-gen gaming experiences."

It's unclear exactly when Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be launched on the PlayStation 4 from Sony and the Xbox One from Microsoft.
