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.

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.

News Ubisoft Will Release Three or Four Major Games Before March 2020
Keep 'em coming
