After years of turbulence that saw several top executives out the door, Ubisoft is betting aggressively on "Assassin's Creed Mirage" to level up profits for the French publisher, with a steadier line-up of new releases.
The latest entry in the wildly popular "Assassin" franchise is released Thursday, to be followed in December by a game based on the hit "Avatar" films -- which was originally scheduled to hit shelves a year ago.
