Sacré bleu
Typically, when retailers break street dates, games are put on sale a day or two before their real release. However, in the case of Assassin’s Creed Unity, retail copies for the PlayStation 4 are in the wild right now – a good two weeks ahead of the title’s actual launch date. With the game originally due out at the end of October,...
News Ubisoft Reckons You Wouldn't Want to Play an Assassin's Creed Game Set in Feudal Japan
A code of honour
For quite a while now, fans of Assassin's Creed have been pondering a title set in the East. An oriental excursion always sounded like a neat idea to us, but Ubisoft thinks it may be something that wouldn't hold much appeal. Speaking to Total Xbox, Assassin's Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson remarked that a feudal...
News Ubisoft: Why Would We Ever Hold Assassin's Creed Unity Back?
Arno idea
Ubisoft has given a more detailed response to accusations that it’s held the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin’s Creed Unity back in order to match the specifications of the Xbox One release.

News Assassin's Creed Unity Could Still Reach 1080p on the PS4
How high can you climb?
Assassin’s Creed Unity’s current specifications may yet be for the chop, as Ubisoft has stressed that nothing is set in stone yet.

News Ubisoft Keeps its Blade Hidden by Delaying Assassin's Creed Unity into November
October's a bit lighter
A few months ago, October was looking like this year's most bloated period for new releases, but a few big delays later, and November is beginning to look like 2014's real heavy hitter. It may only be a relatively small delay of two weeks, but Ubisoft has saw fit to push back Assassin's Creed Unity all the same. The next-gen...
All Arno-thing
Yesterday we got our first proper look at last-gen only title Assassin's Creed Rogue courtesy of an eight minute gameplay trailer, but after seeing this 11 minute walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Unity, we're starting to really appreciate why publisher Ubisoft is keeping this one a current-gen exclusive. Simply put, the city of

Glitch in the animus
With Assassin's Creed Unity stalking Paris later this year only on next-gen consoles, it's up to Assassin's Creed Rogue to fill in on the PlayStation 3. Other than some sparse gameplay details, we haven't had a good look at the last-gen stab-'em-up yet, but all that's changed thanks to an eight minute walkthrough from publisher...
News You'll Need to Find Your Sea Legs for the Darkest Assassin's Creed to Date
Ubisoft announces this year's PS3 outing
It’s a good thing that the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed: Rogue doesn’t have a ship as leaky as Ubisoft, otherwise he’d be living it up in ol’ Davy Jones’ Locker right now. After months of speculation – and a morning of YouTube copyright claims – the French publisher has finally confirmed...
Rumour Assassin's Creed: Rogue Will Clamber Onto the PS3 in November
Sneaky leak

A different kind of red, white, and blue
Judging from Assassin's Creed Unity's newest trailer, the French really aren't happy about how their national team bowed out of the World Cup after a disappointing duel with eventual winners Germany.

E3 2014 Assassin's Creed: Unity Wants to Rule the World on PS4
Please think of the children
You’ll see more ridiculous hats in this three minute Assassin’s Creed: Unity trailer than at a royal wedding.

Who cares about the main game?
Assassin’s Creed: Unity has been privy to the vaguest of unveilings thus far, but already publisher Ubisoft is plotting the PlayStation 4 title’s first expansion pack. In fairness to the French firm, it probably didn’t intend for this information to leak. Moreover, this appears to be a simple pre-order bonus...
News Assassin's Creed: Unity Is the One PS4 Title That Can't Stay Undercover

Review Assassin's Creed Liberation HD (PlayStation 3)
Assassin's speed
Retelling the rather erratic adventures of Aveline de Grandpré, Assassin's Creed Liberation HD leaps onto the PlayStation 3 after its moderate success on Sony's handheld console – and visually, it's just about what you'd expect.
