Ubisoft has started to talk about the next addition to their creative games portal ManiaPlanet.

So far the only title out on ManiaPlanet is 2 Canyon, the latest title in their build-your-own experience series.

ShootMania follows on from the TrackMania series giving the community the opportunity to build their own first-person games and modes.

Ubisoft's Thomas Paincon explains: "It will give the freedom to the FPS community to build their own games, to build their own modes. Because right now ManiaPlanet is just Trackmania 2 Canyon, we can't see the different bridges between both titles. Now it is a concept, but when ShootMania releases next year it will be more understandable to players, how they can benefit from one to the other."

He added: "It has to be seen as an environment. Yes, it takes more time than other titles, Like Online or Settlers, but its really a mid-term or long-term vision. And because its not there will not be any "I buy this weapon so I'm more powerful." It's a concept, it's a gamble, because its new, but this is the strength of - we have a different mindset. We have Ghost Recon Online at the other end, which is more realistic, team-play, strategy, free-to-play. It's our strength to be able to test the different business models."

ShootMania will arrive on the next year.
