Recently we went hands-on with Ubisoft's upcoming Metroidvania, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It's slashing its way onto PS5 and PS4 in January, bringing the series back to PlayStation for the first time since 2010. But after all this time, how is this latest adventure shaping up?

Poll Was Ubisoft Forward 2023 Princely or Just Pants?
Forward or backward?
It was Ubisoft's turn in the summer spotlight with Ubisoft Forward, and now the showcase has come to a close. As expected, we saw the likes of Assassin's Creed Mirage, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and plenty more. While it was a pretty predictable run of games for the French publisher, we want...

News Ubisoft Helps Out Its Writers by Implementing AI Tech to Do Their Job for Them
Thanks, Ubisoft
Ubisoft is a publisher unafraid of tackling new technology head-on. The company is always supportive of new platform launches, and seems willing to embrace cutting edge tech where possible — even the questionable stuff. It's already attempted to implement NFTs in its games with the Ubisoft Quartz initiative, which went about as...

News Beyond Good & Evil 2 Just Found Its New Lead Writer
15 years after it was first announced
Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been a long time coming and is apparently still a long way off. At this point, it's kind of hard to believe this thing is ever coming out. We did get some movement today, though, with the reveal that the project has found a new lead writer. Sarah Arellano announced yesterday in a...

News Swashbuckling Pirate Sim Skull & Bones Is 'Not a Narrative-Driven Game'
Treasure Island, this is not
Skull & Bones release has been a long time coming (development began in 2013, initially conceived as DLC for Assassins Creed: Black Flag), and its November release date is approaching at a steady clip. While the project has changed significantly over the years in size and scope (it was going to be an MMO at one...

News Ubisoft Set to Showcase Its Upcoming Titles at Gamescom in August
But not Assassin's Creed
Gamescom is a couple of months away, and publishers are starting to make it clear whether they're participating or not. We know, for example, that Sony won't be present at the European expo at all, and neither will Activision Blizzard or Take Two. However, one company that has confirmed it will make an appearance is Ubisoft:...

Movie Review Werewolves Within - A Fun Comedy Horror Lacking Some Bite
Lycan it
You'd be forgiven for thinking this movie has nothing to do with games at all, but Werewolves Within is in fact based on a relatively obscure PlayStation VR game of the same name (itself based on a tabletop game simply named Werewolf). Ubisoft's virtual reality title is a social multiplayer game in which players are assigned various roles...
News Ubisoft Will Reveal a New Tom Clancy Game Later Today
What will it be?
Update: Since publishing the below story, we've hit upon a couple of details that take a lot of the mystery out of the situation. Ubisoft's imminent announcement appears to be for a first-person shooter of some sort, as you can see from the gameplay clip above from GameSpot. It looks remarkably similar to Call of Duty here. Our best...

Soapbox Rainbow Six: Siege Is My Favorite Shooter of All Time and I Hate It
A wretched hive of scum and villainy
The Push Square PlayStation 5 review of Rainbow Six: Siege went through quite a few changes. Originally a monstrously large article, the word count was trimmed by scaling back the amount of time I spent focusing on the game’s problems with cheating and toxicity. But I still have more to say on the subject. And...

News Everyone Wants a New Splinter Cell Game, So Ubisoft's Making a Netflix Series
Nailed it
We've been waiting an eternity for another entry in the Splinter Cell franchise. Indeed, it feels as though we're on the cusp of a new game; Ubisoft has hinted at the return of Sam Fisher, and there have been some hints here and there. It makes sense to bring it back, and it turns out the publisher is doing just that -- only, not in the...

News Rainbow Six: Siege's New Season Operation Void Edge Is Live on PS4
Kicking off year five
If like us, you're still playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege five years after its release, then you probably know that the first content drop for year five was revealed a couple weeks back. Well, the good news is that Operation Void Edge is now live on PlayStation 4. If you have hopes of jumping in and playing today,...

News Ubisoft Will Release Three or Four Major Games Before March 2020
Keep 'em coming
Ubisoft is obviously a massive player in the video game business, but we'd argue it's one of the publishers that's really improved over the course of this generation. Watch Dogs 2, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Far Cry 5 were all well received, pushing their respective franchises in different directions or to new heights. That looks...

News Ubisoft Boss Says It's Looking Into Bringing Multiplayer Back to Assassin's Creed
If the tech is there
The Assassin's Creed games had online multiplayer for a time, but it was eventually ditched somewhere along the line. It was quite an enjoyable way to play, with a spin on typical multiplayer modes that saw players hiding from, stalking, and assassinating each other. In a new interview with Game Informer, Ubisoft's chief...

E3 2018 VR Title Transference Gets New Trailer and Release Window
Ubisoft's VR support continues
Transference was a curiosity at Ubisoft's E3 2018 conference last year. There had been relatively little noise about the title since, but we have a much firmer idea of what to expect as Elijah Wood took to the stage to enlighten us on what to expect from the game coming from Ubisoft and his production company,...
E3 2018 Development Still Hasn't Really Started on Beyond Good & Evil 2
Ubisoft wants your help to finish (start) it
Ubisoft once again showed off the highly-anticipated Beyond Good & Evil 2 during its E3 2018 press conference. We learned more about the prequel's plot and characters, but very little about the actual release date – which we're gagging for at this point. We did see pre-alpha footage of one of...
Guide What Time Is Ubisoft's E3 2018 Press Conference?
And what to expect
As we know, Ubisoft is returning to E3 this year with another press conference. Out of all the publishers that hold these shows, the French company tends to be the least predictable, often bringing some off-the-wall, or just plain strange, flamboyance to proceedings. It usually has one or two surprises up its sleeve, too, so it's...
