Start the party

Ubisoft’s raised the curtain on its E3 line-up, confirming the likes of Assassin’s Creed III, Far Cry 3 and Rayman Legends for the big show. The publisher also promised to reveal some “surprise announcements” too. CEO Yves Guillemot said of the offering: This year’s E3 promises to be one of our biggest and best yet...

Does it live up to the name?

2K's amazing Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Edition still holds the crown for most over-the-top special edition, but Ubisoft's going straight to the point by naming Far Cry 3's so-called "Insane Edition". The box contains a 12cm Vaas Wahine bobble head figure, a survival guide to the island and a stack of in-game...

Genesis 11:9

Ubisoft’s PlayStation Move powered God game Babel Rising is set to release on 13th June in Europe, the publisher has announced. The downloadable title sees you assuming the role of God and attempting to stop humans from building the Tower of Babel by tossing all manner of natural disasters at them. Sounds like a good way to relieve...

Price of a pizza

The 15 people that actually played Techland’s off-road racer Nail’d will tell you that, terrible name aside, it was pretty good fun. We were one of those 15 people, and we agree. The big problem with Nail’d was its delivery method and price. For a few pennies on the PlayStation Store it would have been a roaring success, but...

Summer holiday

Good news for GameStop Power Up Rewards members planning on picking up a copy of Ghost Recon: Future Solider: you’re all invited to Far Cry 3's closed multiplayer beta. The trial will kick off this summer on PS3 and will run for two weeks. Of course, if you don’t want to buy Ghost Recon (or shop at GameStop), Ubisoft will still be...

Making the jump?

If there’s one Xbox 360 exclusive that makes us green with envy, it’s RedLynx’s Trials Evolution. But with Ubisoft now in control of the Finnish developer, there’s every possibility that the title could hop onto Sony’s platforms. It’s a possibility that Ubisoft has noted itself. Speaking as part of an annual financial...

Chill pill

Nowadays, developers don’t even bother to wait until their game has shipped before announcing DLC — take Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for example. The title may still be a couple of weeks away from release, but that’s not stopped Ubisoft from unveiling the tactical shooter’s first DLC pack. Due out on 3rd July, the $10 expansion...

Paparazzi

For a game that’s been shrouded in secrecy for the past five years, people sure do suddenly know a lot about Beyond Good & Evil 2. We thought this week’s sneaky screenshot would put an end to the leaks, but Unseen64 has followed up with a full environment trailer showing off the same urban setting glimpsed in the secret snap. The...

Epic

Ubisoft has released the first gameplay footage of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III. We could easily fill the next five minutes of your time recapping exactly why this video is so exciting, but we figure you’d rather just get to the action. And to be honest, we can’t blame you — this looks absolutely extraordinary. Assassin's Creed III...

Land of the living

Ubisoft’s flawed survival horror experiment I Am Alive was the top selling PlayStation Network title in April. The oft-delayed adventure managed to displace thatgamecompany’s Journey from the top spot, while Telltale’s The Walking Dead adaptation occupied two spots in the top five. The episodic title's Season Pass and...

Dust looking

After Michel Ancel's assurances that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is in "active creation", All Games Beta has outed what looks like an in-game screenshot. The distant protagonist looks distinctly like Jade, and the dusty market street fits with what we've seen of the title so far. That's about it, though. No HUD, no other...

Viral

How much do you like Assassin’s Creed? Ubisoft’s hoping you like it enough to help out with the publisher’s marketing campaign, promising to unlock the second part of this Assassin’s Creed III hunting trailer once you’ve recruited enough friends to the franchise’s Facebook page. It’s an abhorrent practice that we absolutely...

Rejoice

Rayman creator Michel Ancel has confirmed that development on the hotly anticipated Beyond Good & Evil 2 has continued – albeit not on PlayStation 3. The industry legend said in a video interview with the Toulouse Game Show [via NeoGAF] that the project is at an “active creation stage” and that the developer is focusing on...

Girl power

Ubisoft has released a mass of early concept art for the Assassin’s Creed series. The images – which date back to the title’s origins back in 2004 – show a number of twists on the franchise's now established format. One image, for example, shows a woman kitted out in similar robes to final protagonist Altair. Another image shows...

Ray of sunshine

Update: It's real — our friends at Nintendo Life have the Rayman Legends Wii U trailer. Remember our recent report regarding the possibility of a Rayman Origins sequel? Looks like it might be happening. Internet sleuths have uncovered Ubisoft website domain registrations for RaymanLegends.com and Rayman-Legend

Born again

When Rayman Origins appeared to struggle at retail late last year, many thought it was game over for Ubisoft’s stout nosed mascot. But alas, dreams can come true, as a marketing survey sent out by Arkenford on the French publisher’s behalf has hinted at the possibility of a sequel. The survey – discovered by Kotaku – notes that...

Kill confirmed

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier might have taken its time getting here, but if you like loud bangs and big guns the trailer below will make up for the wait. The latest multiplayer trailer from Ubisoft shows all kinds of futuristic tech, from camouflage suits to stealthy hacking, as well as fulfilling your recommended daily...

For Farouk's sake

Ancient Egypt was an amazing time. People wore more make-up than a modern day super model. Slaves dragged huge hunks of rock across the sand to build elaborate tombs the size of housing estates. And everyone totally loved cats. But, sadly, none of that was enough to convince Ubisoft that the mysterious time period was perfect for...

Step your game up

We know what you’re thinking: “How am I supposed to feel like a Future Soldier with a bog-standard DualShock 3?” We totally agree, that controller is so 2008. Alas, what you need is a custom Mad Catz controller designed specifically for Ubisoft’s upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Due out in May, the Pro GamePad will...
