E3 2016 Have a Good Long Gander at a Mission From Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Well, you can have more of that in an honestly impressive showing of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands gameplay, that shows us a host of...
E3 2016 Just Dance 2017 Will Boogie on Down to PS4, PS3
Still not as good as the Lady GaGa song
Sigh, so it seems your humble host has drawn the short straw on the post-Ubisoft press conference coverage. There's a new Just Dance 2017 game coming. It'll release on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Ubisoft revealed it by making people dressed as zoo animals dance to Queen. Almost no one will read this...
E3 2016 Grow Home Sequel Grow Up Announced
Moving on up
BUD is back in a new adventure, entitled Grow Up. For fear of stating the obvious, this sequel to the experimental original sees the cute little robot clambering and soaring to ever higher heights - this time without the guidance of MOM. Take a look at the announcement trailer. It retains the colourful, polygonal aesthetic of Grow...

E3 2016 Vikings Storm Shores in New For Honor PS4 Gameplay
A clash of titans
After a lot of dancing and prolonged talking on stage, we were relieved to see that Ubisoft unveiled what's been going on with For Honor. There were announcements of a campaign in the works and plans to display viking gameplay since we saw it last, but it's not until now do we finally witness both of these promises come to life in...
E3 2016 Hack into Watch Dogs 2's Sweet PS4 Gameplay Demo
8/10 would hack again
You know, aside from the f***ing guy with the hashtag eyes, Watch Dogs 2 actually looks pretty good, as evidenced by its E3 2016 gameplay demo. The video that we've embedded made a splash at Ubisoft's press conference, and was honestly one of the best parts of the French publisher's show. In it, we get to see main character...
E3 2016 All Watch Dogs 2 DLC Will Arrive Early on PS4
Sony's also making a movie
Sony's very own Jim Ryan took to the stage during Ubisoft's press conference earlier this evening to confirm that the Japanese giant will act as a co-marketing partner on the upcoming Watch Dogs 2, meaning that all of the game's commercials and advertising materials will centre on the PlayStation 4 release. The...
E3 2016 The Division Is at Its Darkest with the Survival Expansion
The last of us
While we've already gotten one look at the first expansion for Tom Clancy's The Division with Underground today, there's at least something new to chew on with a cinematic trailer for the newly revealed Survival. If the embedded trailer is supposed to be any indication of what gameplay will be like, expect to be low on ammo and...
E3 2016 Trials of the Blood Dragon Is Out Now on PS4
Psychedelic
Ubisoft has announced an insane mash-up between Trials and Far Cry: Blood Dragon, and has dropped an equally big bombshell that it is available on the PlayStation 4 now.

Talking Point Did Ubisoft's E3 2016 Press Conference Impress You?
Ubiquitous software
Ubisoft's unquestionably one of gaming's juggernauts, but did its press conference at E3 2016 impress? The publisher led with some of its biggest upcoming titles – Watch Dogs 2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and For Honor – but it also showcased South Park The Fractured but Whole and a new extreme sports title called...

E3 2016 Is Grow Up the Sequel to Grow Home?
A new leaf?
The European games ratings board, PEGI, may have inadvertently stolen a little of Ubisoft's thunder. A page on its website currently lists a rating for a new game, entitled Grow Up. It sounds to us like a sequel to the cutesy, 3D platformer Grow Home, with PEGI's rating of 3"" backing this up somewhat. Another interesting tidbit is the...
News For Honor Gets an E3 2016 Teaser Trailer
It's time for battle
E3 2016 is right around the corner, and with that Ubisoft has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming For Honor. The historical hack and slasher pits medieval soldiers against each other in huge battles, with knights, samurais and vikings confirmed so far. The title has gone pretty much radio silent since its debut last E3,...
News Watch Dogs 2's Protagonist Has a Serious Hackitude Problem
Less of an Android than Aiden, though
Aiden Pearce and his iconic cap are out; Marcus Holloway and his skinny jeans are in. The smooth moving, Timberland wearing, wrongly accused Californian crim was announced as the protagonist of Watch Dogs 2 earlier today, and let's not beat around the bush: he's an instant improvement over his distinctly vanilla...

News Watch Dogs 2's First PS4 Trailer Is Really Something Else
Hmm
What the fine vanilla fudge is this? Watch Dogs 2's first commercial has leaked via Twitch, and it's definitely got a bigger identity than its predecessor – we're just not convinced by its faux-gangster theme. The clip confirms the game's San Francisco setting, and shows hipsters and cartel members jammin' to some bad rap wearing horse masks...

News Oh No! The Division's Being Made into a Movie
Jarhead
A big screen adaptation of forgotten Ubisoft loot shooter The Division is in the works, with the Prince of Persia himself Jake Gyllenhaal signed up to both play the lead character and produce the film. The good news is that it's still early days for the movie – it doesn't even have a writer yet. If there's any God, this will get s**tcanned...
Breaking Watch Dogs 2 to Include Iconic Ray-Ban® Glasses
The iconic cap™ is not iconic enough
Ubisoft turned the gaming industry on its head today, indicating that Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce's iconic cap™ will be replaced by iconic Ray-Ban® glasses instead.

News Ghost Recon Wildlands Returns a Year Later, Asks You to Pre-Order
Collector's edition announced, but no date
We've seen close to bugger all of Ghost Recon Wildlands since it was announced during Ubisoft's E3 press conference last year, but that hasn't stopped a new trailer from dropping along with details about its collector's edition. How thoughtful. The trailer's your standard Ubisoft stuff: moody shots of...
News More than Half of the Assassin's Creed Movie Takes Place in the Modern Day
Asking for trouble?
The modern day portions of the Assassin's Creed series are divisive to say the least. Surely, a lot of the franchise's appeal comes from the fact that you can explore interesting periods from the past, and more often than not, we'd argue that the present day segments do little more than pull you out of the fun. While it's true...
News Now Ubisoft's Saying Consoles Like PS4 will Be Replaced by Streaming Services
French publisher seems to agree with EA
Earlier this week, EA's Peter Moore stated in an interview that he thinks consoles as we know them will die out sooner or later, and will be replaced by streaming technology. Needless to say, this prediction didn't sit particularly well with everyone, and now, adding fuel to the fire, Ubisoft CEO Yves...
News Assassin's Creed Movie Looks Exactly As You'd Expect
Fix your eagle eyes on this
This looks... Alright, doesn't it? The Assassin's Creed movie seems to have been in production since the Stone Age, but it's finally got a trailer ahead of its 2016 release. And y'know what? It looks a lot like Assassin's Creed really. There are some small changes – like the Animus being transformed into a giant robotic...
Rumour Is This Watch Dogs 2's Main Character?
Well, he does have an iconic cap
Watch Dogs 2 is undoubtedly going to be on show at E3 next month, but we wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft was planning on teasing the reveal before the big event kicks off. With that in mind, it was perhaps only a matter of time before something leaked - and so here we are, speculating over this iconic cap wearing...
News Ubisoft's Dated its E3 2016 Press Conference
Bring back Mr. Caffeine
Oh no, the E3 press conference times are beginning to trickle in. Every year, the staff here at Push Square are subjected to the horror that is the Electronic Entertainment Expo, where we're basically forced to stay up three days straight and write approximately 12 billion articles. So you'll have to excuse us when we feel...
Poll Are You Still Playing The Division on PS4?
Has Ubisoft's latest done enough?
Tom Clancy's The Division has been a success commercially - there's no doubt about that - but now that the game's been out for a few weeks, we thought that it might be interesting to see what you lot think of it. Indeed, if we cast our minds back to the heady days of Destiny and its highly anticipated launch, just...
Review Tom Clancy's The Division (PS4)
Flu York, Flu York
In The Division it's amazing how quickly society goes to pieces. Admittedly, a genetically engineered super virus that manages to wipe out a large swathe of New York's population seems a reasonable catalyst, but you would have thought that it would have taken more than a few weeks for things to get as messed up as this. Anyhow, in...
News The Division PS4 Patch 1.0.2 Aims to Improve the End Game
Dark zone
As is the danger for games of The Division's ilk, many players have already raced to the level cap, leaving little for them to do. Unsurprisingly, then, Ubisoft's first big patch for the looter shooter will revolve around the Dark Zone, improving the rewards that you accrue for going Rogue and more – though a last minute change has seen...

Guide The Division PS4 - Skills, Talents, Stats, and Perks Explained
Understand the shooter's many systems
Getting to grips with The Division takes more mental fortitude than a medical professional performing brain surgery. For all of the advantages so very obviously present in Ubisoft's post-pandemic role-playing release, the early hours of the game can be mind numbing, as developer Massive unloads intel like it's...
Hands On The Division's a Clinical But Compelling PS4 Shooter
Empire elated?
Hit making is really, really hard.

And it takes a team of incredibly intelligent people – writers, stylists, producers, engineers, choreographers,...

Snow joke
Ubisoft's been obsessed with The Division's record breaking success ever since its announcement, but this is the accolade it's been waiting for: the post-pandemic shooter is officially the French firm's fastest selling game of all time. According to the organisation, the title sold more copies in its first 24 hours than any other in the...
News Ubisoft Told a Porky, You Can't Improve The Division's Frame Rate on PS4
Oh, Ubisoft
You see, Ubisoft, it's daft statements like this that come back to bite you when they turn out to be wrong. Last month, a representative of the company stated that console players would be able to improve the game's frame rate by tweaking the title's graphical settings in the option menu. "I don't know of another game that does that off...
News The Division Launches with an Easy Way to Grief New Players
Thankfully, there's a workaround
It certainly didn't take long for players to find a way to grief each other in Tom Clancy's The Division. As reported by Eurogamer, you're put in a small room near the start of the game following a cutscene with a main character. When the cinematic is over, another Agent can stand in the room's doorway and block your...

News Not All of The Division's Expansions Will Arrive Late on PS4
In fact, only two will
Those of you that were paying attention may remember that we reported all of The Division's DLC would arrive late on the PlayStation 4 due to a marketing arrangement with Microsoft – but that's not actually the case.

News The Division's Servers Are Up Earlier than Expected
Good news if you've snagged an early copy
Ubisoft stated last week that Tom Clancy's The Division's servers would go live later today, but it looks like they're already up and running if various reports around the 'net are to be believed. Some early players claim that they've been enjoying the release since this morning, while others are busy...
News The Division's PS4 Trophies Touch Down in Manhattan
New York, New York
The Division may be out next week, but considering Ubisoft's decision to delay review codes until launch day, no one's really got hands-on time with the final version yet. Fortunately, the New York-based shooter's Trophies have emerged online, giving us a little something to talk about prior to launch. In truth, this looks like a...
News You Won't Be Reading Any The Division Reviews on Launch Day
Shot down
Some people won't be happy about this, but we're not really sure how else it could work. In a public post on its official blog, Ubisoft has outlined what we can all expect from Tom Clancy's The Division on launch day. The gist of it is that you won't be reading any reviews before the game releases on the 8th March. The main reason for...
News The Division's Launch Trailer Is Just as Predictable as You'd Expect
Best game ever, says website
We all love a good rant here at Push Square, and this editor's gone off on one after watching the latest trailer for Tom Clancy's The Division. Is it a bad video? Not particularly, but it's just so bloody predictable. Website quotes saying that it's the best thing since sliced bread: check. Grizzled military type...
