News The Scott Pilgrim Game Could Be Coming Back from the Dead
Continue?
Remember Scott Pilgrim? Starting life as an extremely popular graphic novel series, it was later adapted into a movie, with a game running alongside it. Bearing the name Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, the Ubisoft-published title was a pixelated, 2D beat-'em-up featuring the music of chiptune band Anamanaguchi. It was released for...
Hands On Hyper Scape Might Be Too Chaotic for Its Own Good
DualShock deficiency
We'd be hard-pressed to think of a more obvious example of a PlayStation 4 game so clearly optimized for play on PC than Hyper Scape. It actually gets to the point where you question why Ubisoft bothered with the console port in the first place. However, this is a free-to-play Battle Royale title and so the idea of restricting...
News Ubisoft Finds Yet Another Way to Bring Back Sam Fisher Outside of a Splinter Cell Game
Seriously?
Yes, Rainbow Six: Siege is absolutely an excellent multiplayer game, but this is getting to the point of ridicule. Ubisoft is adding Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell fame to its popular online title.

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.

News Ubisoft Cancelled a Co-Op King Arthur Action RPG Because Ex-Exec Didn't Like the Setting
Not much of a round table
On paper it sounds amazing: a co-op action role-playing game -- not too dissimilar from Monster Hunter -- set in the knightly times of King Arthur. Codenamed 'Avalon', the project was spearheaded by former Dragon Age designer Mike Laidlaw over at Ubisoft Quebec, but when Laidlaw left the developer back in 2019, 'Avalon' was...

News Assassin's Creed Valhalla Has World Events Rather Than Side Quests
To promote exploration
One of the criticisms leveraged at Assassin's Creed Odyssey is that it is simply too big. Packed full of side quests, optional missions, and gigantic landmasses to explore, it can very easily take upwards of 100 hours to see and do everything it has to offer. However, rather than upping the ante even further, follow-up...
