E3 2016 South Park Creators Spill the Beans on The Fractured But Whole
Civil war
Trey Parker and Matt Stone joined Ubisoft onstage at the publisher's E3 2016 press conference to share some new information about South Park: The Fractured But Whole. The story leads on from the end of the first game, The Stick of Truth, with you once again assuming the role of the new kid in town. This time around, however, Cartman and...
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 Steep is Ubisoft's Brand New Open World Sports IP
Coming to PS4 this December
As has become tradition, Ubisoft's E3 2016 press conference ended with the announcement of a brand new game. This year we were treated to Steep, an open world sports IP set in the Swiss Alps. The title sees you gliding, snowboarding, and skiing your way around a beautiful snow-capped mountain range. It also features a...
E3 2016 The Division's Next Expansion Underground Gets a Short Showcase
Going subterranean
Tom Clancy's The Division has been rather tame in terms of updates and new content of late, so it's nice that we get to see some more footage of its upcoming expansion, Underground, in a new trailer that was shown off during Microsoft's conference. There honestly aren't that many exciting or new elements that we can make out, but...
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...

TGS 2015 London's Burning in Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Jack the Ripper DLCÂ
London is also calling
In a move that even the lousiest psychic in the world could have predicted, Ubisoft today announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference that Assassin's Creed Syndicate will be receiving downloadable content. The DLC in question is somehow related to Jack the Ripper, however it's unclear whether you'll play as the...

At least it doesn't crash
Ubisoft's released almost an hour of Assassin's Creed Syndicate gameplay on PlayStation 4, so now's as good a time as any to see how the stab-'em-up is looking and running on Sony's newest console. Gaze past the sometimes awkward commentary and there's actually some decent gameplay to analyse here. London itself seems...

News PS4 Doubles the Competition When it Comes to Ubisoft Game Sales
A French favourite
Without an early 2015 blockbuster release, Ubisoft's revenue has taken a hit this year. According to the publisher's latest financial report ending the 30th June, sales have declined by 73 per cent year-on-year. Despite the drop, though, the PlayStation 4 has proven to be the popular choice when it comes to the French company's...

E3 2015 Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gameplay Shows The Thrill of The Chase
That's one way to travel
When we saw Assassin's Creed Syndicate take center stage for Ubisoft's E3 2015 conference, we thought its cinematic trailer was a bloody good show, but we asked ourselves, "Where's the gameplay?" Well, it seems Ubisoft sneakily left that for the more observant to find on its YouTube channel with a succinct four minute video...
E3 2015 Take Aim at 6 Minutes of Rainbow Six: Siege Footage
"I siege what you did there"
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege received significant stage time at Ubisoft's E3 press conference today. Perhaps in response to accusations that it doctors its gameplay demonstrations, the developer trucked a whole team of its staffers onstage to test the game out live. The demo itself saw a group of soldiers...
E3 2015 Of Course Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gets a Bloody Good E3 Trailer
London's brawling
Good old Ubisoft and its CG trailers. To be fair, the publisher never fails to get us hyped with its incredibly well done Assassin's Creed clips, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate's E3 trailer is no different. Showcasing protagonist Jacob rally his mates as he takes the fight to those always-nasty Templars, the video's a fun watch,...
E3 2015 For Honor Brings Massive Battlefields and Medieval Hack and Slash Gameplay to PS4
Stomping ground
Arguably the biggest surprise at Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference was a gritty medieval-themed PlayStation 4 title named For Honor. The game melds huge battlefields and tons of computer controlled soldiers with multiplayer play, as you pick up big swords, wear massive suits of armour, and smash your foes into oblivion. The French...

News Phew, Assassin's Creed Syndicate Won't Have a Daft Companion App
Now we're getting somewhere
Assassin's Creed Unity had a lot of problems, some far more serious than its stupid companion app, but the fact that there were locked chests scattered all about the map, which could only be opened via the use of said app, was just the icing on the cake of an already disappointing package. It's a relief, then, that this...

News Ubisoft's E3 2015 Press Conference Gets a Date and Time
Not too late, thankfully
Well would you look at that, another somewhat reasonably timed E3 2015 press conference. Ubisoft's announced that its presser will begin at 23:00PM BST / 15:00PM PST / 18:00PM EST on the 14th June. That's just a few hours after EA's showcase. You see, we UK writers here at Push Square aren't too bothered by late nights, but...

News Assassin's Creed Syndicate Is a Single Player Stab-'Em-Up Only
Alone in the dark
We'd wager that you're going to be hearing quite a bit about Assassin's Creed Syndicate as we approach E3 2015, but coinciding with the game's official reveal earlier today, Ubisoft's released its earnings report for this fiscal year. It may not seem that important at first, but the document actually confirms that the...
News Tom Clancy's The Division Combs Snowy Streets in 2016
Scoped and dropped
It feels like a lifetime ago that we first saw The Division, Ubisoft's open world, online shooter, and role-playing game hybrid. Since then, we've heard bits and pieces about the release, but with the publisher concentrating on other franchises such as Assassin's Creed, any big news has likely been postponed. We could well see...

Rumour The Next Assassin's Creed on PS4 Will Sport a Brother and Sister Protagonist Combo
Dual wielding
After all of the furore over Ubisoft's statements regarding female characters in Assassin's Creed Unity, it may appear as though the company is trying to smooth things over with Assassin's Creed Victory – otherwise known as Assassin's Creed Syndicate – if the rumours are to be believed. According to Kotaku, sources have claimed...

News The Next PS4 Assassin's Creed Game Is Apparently Subtitled Syndicate
Unvictorious
The upcoming Assassin's Creed title is being revealed next Tuesday, and according to Polygon, it won't be called Assassin's Creed Victory, as previously rumoured. Instead, it'll boast the subtitle 'Syndicate', which sounds a touch more ominous to us. According to the leaked marketing material that the publication obtained, the game...

News Ubisoft's Going to Put More Modern Day Stuff in Future Assassin's Creed Games
Oh dear
We don't know about you, but we don't think that the lack of modern day content was Assassin's Creed Unity's biggest problem. Sure, it was almost non-existent and consisted of little more than a few daft cutscenes, but at least this meant that it didn't really get in the way of the historical story or its pacing. This particular author has...

News Assassin's Creed Unity's PS4 Price Has Been Cut Down to Size on Amazon
Peasant money
We would have advised against putting down the cash for Assassin's Creed Unity when it launched, given its myriad technical issues, but Ubisoft's sandbox romp is currently going for a much more agreeable price on Amazon.co.uk, especially since a slew of patches have largely fixed a lot of the aforementioned problems.

News Ubisoft Developer Reckons Watch Dogs Has "a Lot of Room for Improvement"
Howling at the moon
When Watch Dogs released last year, we thought that it was a pretty solid sandbox romp, but like many games that had come before it, there was enough to improve upon to make us think that an inevitable sequel would end up being the real highlight. Fortunately, creative director Jonathan Morin agrees with us. In an interview with...
