News No Plans for PS5 Port of The Division 2, Says Dev
Divisive
Ubisoft and Massive clearly want to keep players invested in The Division 2 throughout 2020. We know this because the developer just announced Warlords of New York -- a meaty looking expansion that's set to launch in early March. But with next-gen consoles expected to arrive at the end of the year, does Ubisoft have any plans to port the...

News Ubisoft Boss Says PS5 Will Run 'Almost All' PS4 Games
And possibly more?
PlayStation 5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games. This we know, but to exactly what extent has been kind of up in the air.

News Ex-Splinter Cell Director Reportedly Returns to Ubisoft
A hint of things to come?
The idea of a modern Splinter Cell game has been flying around for what feels like an eternity. The series has been MIA since Blacklist on PlayStation 3, and that released nearly seven years ago. Aside from a surprising cameo appearance in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Sam Fisher has been out of action for the whole PS4...
News Ubisoft Wants to Avoid Its PS5 Games Playing Like Copy and Pastes
Shake up at French firm
While you can rarely fault the final products, many criticise the building blocks that go into each Ubisoft release.

"It's not even called Ragnarok"
Over the last couple of weeks or so, numerous rumours have popped up around the web with regards to the next Assassin's Creed.

Rumour Assassin's Creed Ragnarok Leaked Again, This Time Through a Product Listing
The beginning of the end
Update: Sadly, it seems as though the image that this story is based upon could be fake.

In any case, we're bound to hear more about the next Assassin's Creed title at some point this year. Sony's...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Investigating Removal of Online Requirements
Update coming in 2020
The always-online requirement that shipped with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint last month has been a thorn in the backside of many of its players, to the point where nearly a third of a recent Ubisoft survey contained responses requesting for its removal. Those still playing the game, who have now been treated to the title's first...

Breaking point
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint was met with a lot of criticism when it launched last month, with one of the biggest complaints being that its microtransaction store was ridiculous.

They're now scheduled for release in the next fiscal year, meaning a launch between April 2020 and March 2021. This puts the games...
Numerous patches planned
As you may have already heard, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint hasn't been the smash hit that Ubisoft wanted it to be.

Today, the team behind Breakpoint has...

Whenever a new generation of consoles rolls around, it's almost always a racing game that is used in part to show off the graphical prowess of the machine we'll be doing our video game playing on for the next six or so years.

News Assassin's Creed Odyssey PS4 Patch 1.51 Focuses on Bug Fixes
The end is nigh
Over the last year or so, we've written about many an Assassin's Creed Odyssey patch. The game's had some huge and exciting updates, but this latest patch ain't one of them.

Following on from the beta last month, the open world shooter's been in early access for the last three days or so, and although we don't think it's a bad...
All-in-one
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a difficult game to review. Sometimes it's great fun, sometimes it's an incredibly banal but weirdly addictive grind. Other times it's a buggy mess. Our enjoyment of Breakpoint has fluctuated so much over the review period that we had to sit down and carefully consider whether we actually think it's worth...

News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Details Its Impressive Range of Accessibility Options
Fun for all
If there's one thing Ubisoft doesn't get enough credit for, it's accessibility options in its games.

Next up for Ubisoft is Ghost Recon:...
Hands On Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's Open Beta Runs Much Better on PS4
But it's not perfect
We're intrigued by Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Ubisoft's upcoming third-person tactical shooter is more The Division 2 than its predecessor Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and it creates an experience that feels a lot like a Game as a Service would but in a setting that is more than happy to accommodate just the single player. This fact...
