Historically speaking, gaming television channels haven't really done that great in terms ꦑof viewership. That's probably because mos🍰t gamers would rather be playing games than watching TV, but also because Twitch and YouTube sort of satisfies all our desire for gaming-related content already.
Ubisoft seems to think they can outdo game streamers on various platforms with their new . Launching this Thursday on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Twitch, gTV will provide original programming about games and gamers e♈very week.
What sort of programming? Well, the press release provides us with a few examples, starting with a talk s🀅how hosted by Jay-Ann Lopez. She'll discuss "a wide variety" of topics with such guests as Ellie Gibson, Nicola Adams, Rufus Hound, and Pete Donaldson.
"Versus" will be hosted by British esports caster Frankie Ward and will pit Twitch and YouTube personalities against each other in competitive games. CafeXP will be an improvised comedy show hosted by actor and comedian Babatunde Aleshe. "Fragments" will be a docu-series that dives into human interest stories across the UK esports s🔯cene. And "aRTY" will be an episodic series focusing on artists whose work ha﷽s been inspired by video games, such as graffiti artist Flake.
Check out the trailer below to see clips from a few of these shows, plus a whole bunch of original programming that ꦫwasn’t even mentioned in the press release.
gTV starts airing on , , , , and on Thursday, April 15. Although Ubღisoft is footing the bill, they promise that gTV will cover original content and not just become a giant advertisemeꦬnt for Ubisoft games.
In other Ubisoft news, our own Cian Maher recently sat down with 🌟Assassin's Creed writers and producers to see how they plan to tackle the upcoming Irish expansion of🍬 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Apparently, it in🅷volves a lot of arrange🌜d marriages.
