Death from above
With this third and final episode in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's The Fate of Atlantis saga, the story of Alexios or Kassandra comes full circle. Judgment of Atlantis ties everything together more effectively than we thought it would, and although we can't say the same for the modern day stuff -- more on that later -- this is a...

News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Final DLC Episode Looks Like a Strong Finish in New Gameplay Preview
Atlantis awaits
Ubisoft has released a four-minute gameplay preview for Judgment of Atlantis, the third and final DLC episode in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Fate of Atlantis saga. Needless to say, if you're looking to go into this last adventure completely blind, then we'd advise against watching it, but at least be safe in the knowledge that it...
News The Division 2 Director Asks for Thoughts on a Single Player Story-Driven Division Game
Lone gun
The Division is one of those properties that has an interesting concept at its heart, but because it's a co-op enabled experience, the story and characters are never really given room to breathe. But what if The Division wasn't an always online, multiplayer-focused series? What if there was a single player, story-driven spin-off? This very...
The stuff of myth
Announced at E3 2019 back in June at Ubisoft's press conference, Gods & Monsters is an entirely new title from the developers of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Described as an open world action adventure game that's based on Greek mythology, we've got reasonably high hopes for the project, which is due to launch for PlayStation 4 on...
It's all in the grind
As soon as Story Creator Mode was announced for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, exploitation was an inevitability. By giving players the opportunity to craft their own quests, Ubisoft must have known that it was only a matter of time before people abused the system -- because that's exactly what's happened. At the time of writing...
News The Division 2 Dates Its First DLC Episode, Doesn't Go Down Well with Fans

Judgment of Atlantis
Ubisoft has confirmed that the next episode in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's The Fate of Atlantis DLC saga will arrive later this month.

News Watch Dogs Legion Continues to Sound Crazy, the Story Script Has 20 Different Versions
Cor blimey
Watch Dogs Legion has sounded ambitious from the word go, and the more we hear about it, the crazier and crazier it sounds. As you may already know, the game lets you play as loads of different characters, all of them randomly generated to some degree. Each and every character comes with their own strengths, weaknesses, name, and...
News The Division 2's Latest Update Seems to Break Enemy AI and Damage Output Again
Oh come on
The Division 2 developer Massive Entertainment deserves credit for the way that it's supported the game so readily, but it'd be disingenuous to say that everything's gone smoothly since the looter shooter launched back in March. Once again proving that live service projects aren't easy to properly maintain, The Division 2 has been hit...

E3 2019 Watch Dogs Legion Won't Feature Any Dogs Because Then You'd Have to Play as Them
A real shame
Watch Dogs Legion's 'play as anyone' mechanic is certainly an ambitious one, but it turns out the feature only goes so far. The buck stops with our canine friends, who won't be playable in the game. Speaking with IGN's Brian Altano, creative director Clint Hocking said: "There are no dogs in the game because if you’re gonna play as...
E3 2019 Watch Dogs Legion Coming to 'PlayStation Platforms' Suggests Both PS5 and PS4 Releases
Cross-gen confirmed?
We're on the precipice of PlayStation 5, so it's safe to assume that games on the horizon will be looking to target next-gen platforms as well as what's available today. One such title, Watch Dogs Legion, is obviously coming to PS4, but at the end of the above video, creative director Clint Hocking seems to suggest it's...
E3 2019 Gods & Monsters Is Like Zelda: Breath of the Wild Meets Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Sounds good to us
The Ubisoft team behind the fantastic Assassin's Creed Odyssey are working on a brand new title called Gods & Monsters.

All the PS4 games at Ubisoft's presser

Talking Point Were You Left Impressed By Ubisoft's E3 2019 Press Conference?
Treating the services
Ubisoft always manages to put on a good show when it's time to put up or shut up, but E3 2019 was a little different. After the teaser dropped last week, we finally got our first proper look at Watch Dogs Legion, while service-based titles such as Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division 2 both detailed upcoming DLC.
E3 2019 Brawlhalla Decides It's Adventure Time with Crossover Content

E3 2019 Roller Champions Is a Free to Play Sports Game from Ubisoft, Playable on PC Now
Get your skates on
After being outed ahead of E3 2019, Ubisoft has now confirmed the existence of Roller Champions. This is an arcadey mixture of rollerskater racing and, er, basketball? Sort of? Anyway, two teams of three go head to head in tight arenas. The rules are pretty straightforward; complete a lap of the circuit while possessing the ball,...
E3 2019 Ubisoft Announces Gods & Monsters From the Team That Made Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Hopefully it's godlike
A teaser for an all new game called Gods & Monsters closed out Ubisoft's 2019 press conference. It appears to be a fantasy action game, and potentially an open world adventure of sorts. It's from the main team behind Assassin's Creed Odyssey, so there's certainly some promise here. It's already got a release date, too:...

E3 2019 A New Splinter Cell Game Is Not in Development, Kotaku Sources Claim
That's one off our wish list
We all want it, don't we? A new Splinter Cell game has been at the top of our wish lists for quite some time now, but if Jason Schreier of Kotaku is to be believed, we're going to have to wait a whole lot longer before it becomes a reality. As part of a recent Kotaku Splitscreen podcast, Schreier stated the following:...
Rumour Assassin's Creed Odyssey Story Creator Mode to Be Announced at E3 2019
The pieces fall into place
Okay, you'll have to bear with us on this one, because it's a pretty crazy rumour that comes in two parts. The first is that all the way back in April, Reddit managed to nab a juicy screenshot of a post from Ubisoft community manager Dominik Voigt. The post in question spoke of a "Story Mode Creator" for Assassin's Creed...
See you in hell
After being left slightly disappointed by Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis - Episode 1, we needed Episode 2 to show us that the Eagle Bearer's journey through the underworld was only going to get better. The first episode was beautiful but ultimately a bit boring, and while Episode 2 does still plod along at times, it's...
Rumour Ubisoft will Announce Rainbow Six Quarantine at E3 2019
Sick
It's that time of year again. E3 is just about to kick off, and the weeks leading up to the event are always rich with rumours and leaks. One publisher that's fallen victim to this is Ubisoft, which has had reveals for games like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Watch Dogs Legion, and Roller Champions spoiled ahead of time. By the looks of it, we might...
News Thumping Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Trailer Is Its Best Yet
Predator and prey
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has a brand new cinematic trailer complete with thumping electronic music, and we really like it. The open world team-based shooter was announced last month, and this video gives the project just that little extra kick of flavour as we head into E3 2019. Ghost Recon: Wildlands was a fun co-op title, but...
News Watch Dogs Legion Is Real, Full Reveal at E3
Oi oi
Watch Dogs Legion is the next game in Ubisoft's series -- that much has been confirmed through the fact that the property's official Twitter account has changed its name to, you guessed it, Watch Dogs Legion. But that's not all. The same account is now teasing the game itself, posting: "God save the NPCs". This points to the leak from earlier...
News Watch Dogs Legion Sounds Like a Wildly Ambitious Sequel
You can play as, well, anyone
We really liked Watch Dogs 2, and honestly would have been satisfied with a sequel akin to that set in modern London.

News Rainbow Six: Siege Will Move to PS5, Ubisoft to Continue Long Term Support into Next Gen
Playing the long game
Rainbow Six: Siege may have gotten off to a rocky start, but Ubisoft has gradually transformed the tactical FPS over the years, and it's now a slick shooter stuffed with content. The game has been supported constantly since its launch in late 2015, and it seems the publisher has no plans on slowing down -- even as next gen...
Rumour Is Watch Dogs Legion the Anticipated Third Instalment?
Cor, blimey
Update: Both respected Kotaku journalist Jason Schreier and industry analyst Daniel Ahmad have suggested that this product listing is accurate. So how's that body hopping going to work, then?
Plenty of action
Out tomorrow on PlayStation 4 (that's the 4th June in case you're reading this later), Torment of Hades is the second episode in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's The Fate of Atlantis DLC saga. Much like the first episode, Fields of Elysium, you'll get a whole new realm of the afterlife to explore, but it's safe to say that things are a...

News Ubisoft Promises Updates on Existing Titles at E3 2019
Plus one or two more things
Ubisoft’s strategy is all about service-based games these days, so it’s perhaps no surprise to learn that its E3 2019 press conference will centre on existing titles like For Honor, The Division 2, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. But there’s good news for those of you planning to tune in from 1PM PT on 10th...
News New Ubisoft Title Roller Champions Seemingly Leaked Online Ahead of E3
Roll up, roll up
The weeks leading up to E3 tend to be littered with leaks, and it seems this year is no different. A new IP from Ubisoft has been popping up online over the last few days, and there's too much evidence mounting up to call it a fake at this stage. Something called Roller Champions has been outed, and it's highly likely to make an...

Ikaros' talons are sharper
With the second episode of Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Fate of Atlantis DLC saga due next month, the game's getting another big update on PlayStation 4. Patch 1.30 isn't going to steal many headlines, but it's still a pretty meaty download, weighing in at around 6.4GB on Sony's system. And yes, you can grab it right now...
The fall of D.C.
Ever since The Division 2's raid first dropped earlier this month, many console players in particular have been vocal with regards to the immense difficulty of the eight-player activity.

News Two Days Later, The Division 2’s Raid Has Finally Been Beaten on PS4
Cat breaks required

News The Division 2's Raid Appears to Be Way Too Difficult on Consoles
Keyboard warriors
The Division 2 got its long awaited eight-player raid yesterday, and it's incredibly difficult. Now, a sturdy challenge can be a good thing in a team-based title like this -- it can provide veteran players with a great opportunity to really strut their stuff -- but the general consensus seems to be that this mission is just far too...
News The Division 2 Sales Didn't Meet Ubisoft's 'Ambitious Expectations'
Shooter looter fatigue?
The Division 2 appeared to enjoy a strong launch when it landed back in March of this year, but on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One especially, Ubisoft has said that sales didn't quite reach the publisher's expectations. The news comes from the company's latest earnings call, in which chief financial officer Frederick Duguet said...
News Far Cry 5 and Rainbow Six: Siege Are Both Absolute Monsters, Ubisoft Reaffirms
Top seller and billion dollar earnings respectively

In a recent earnings call, the publisher has...
