Ubisoft shows off World Dance online game play for Just Dance 2014

Ubisoft showed off its new online play for its Just Dance 2014 game, which is part of a hot franchise that has sold more than 40 million units to date.

The French game publisher is showing the game at the Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany, but we saw it at a demo in San Francisco this week, where the company showed off new online elements. This is the fifth game in the series that Ubisoft is making, so it has to do something different in order to attract new players. The game includes a classic “free dance” mode as well as an “on-stage mode” where a player takes a featured role and two others dance backup routines. You can also play against ghost renditions of a friend’s prior gameplay.
