Just some minutes ago Nadeo's new creative community platform 'maniaplanet' was unveiled during the Ubisoft press conference on the world's biggest gaming fair - the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).

The best thing at the end - that's typical for Nadeo. After some impressive presentations of new Ubisoft titles like 'Assassins Creed Brotherhood', 'Ghost Recon Future Soldier' or 'Driver: San Francisco', at the end we could finally have a look at some small new scenes from TrackMania 2 (again with really amazing graphics) and we were introduced to Nadeo's new community system 'maniaplanet'.

But Nadeo wouldn't be Nadeo, if they revealed too much about it, so we only got some small details on it. Basically, 'maniaplanet' will most likely be a huge community system, combining all the creative heads from three communities: the already existing TrackMania-community, the ShootMania-community (officially called a shooter, probably first-person) and the QuestMania-community (officially called an adventure/role-playing game).
So it seems like those three new games will be combined and contain all the great features developed for TrackMania during the years. More infos on that will probably come during the next days... or months... you all know, the news from Nadeo always come all of a sudden ;)

Another interesting thing is, that Nadeo revealed the dates of the betas for those three new games.
It seems like the QuestMania beta will be the first one we can expect, as the date was just stated as "coming soon".
The next one will be the TrackMania 2 beta, starting in the 4th quater of 2010.
Last but not least, we can expect the ShootMania beta to start in the 1st quarter of 2011.

That's it with the news. I will try to add the maniaplanet E3 teaser on TM-Tube during the day, but I can't promise it, just stay tuned :)
