Virtual insanity
Going to be honest with you, we’re not entirely sure what Transference is. The things we can tell you is that it’s a PlayStation VR game starring Macon Blair, and it’s being developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Elijah Woods’ company SpectreVision.

Black flag
Remember Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? Remember how the best bit about it was navigating the high seas with your scurvy-laden crew, and getting into naval scraps for treasure?

First impressions of incredible PlayStation VR title
Sorry for the outdated pun, but as explained in the video above, this author knows next to nothing about Star Trek. That’s what makes Star Trek: Bridge Crew – Ubisoft’s latest PlayStation VR title – so impressive: if a complete sci-fi schlub can love it, then Trekkies are going to be all...
News Ubisoft Made a Funny with This E3 2017 Teaser Trailer
Full lineup (almost) revealed
How do you hype people for your E3 2017 press conference when all of the good stuff is still secret? You drop an on-the-nose funny about exactly that. To be fair, this clip is pretty good, with boss Yves Guillemot even referring to it as “iconic” before having second thoughts. Inside joke. The publisher’s presser...
News Ubisoft Has a New Logo and a Pretentious Explanation for It
French swirl
Ubisoft’s got a new logo that’s… Virtually identical to the old one. The purple swirl that you may have become accustomed to seeing at the start of Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, or Far Cry is now a transparent white swirl. The font’s different, too, so there’s that. But why all this change? Here’s what the publisher had...
News Assassin's Creed Origins' Protagonist, Time Period Leaks
Walk like an Egyptian
At this point, it must be on purpose, right? All organisations endure leaks from time to time, but French publisher Ubisoft just can’t seem to plug them; it’s a good job it’s not a boat, otherwise it would have been at the bottom of the ocean a long time ago. Anyway, a video has leaked to YouTube showing the opening...

News First Far Cry 5 Art Shows Signs of a Sinister American Cult
Deadly sins

News Ubisoft Slaps a Date on Its E3 2017 Press Conference
Creed! Cry! Crew!
Ubisoft’s the last to date its E3 2017 press conference, but we could have guessed when it will take place: it’s 13:00 PT on Monday, 11th June. That’s a little earlier than usual we believe, but obviously without EA and Microsoft on the same day, it’s had the luxury to be an early bird. The presser will be followed by...
News Ubisoft Teases 'A New Era' of Assassin's Creed
Here we go again
What? There's a new Assassin's Creed game coming? Who would have guessed? The heavily rumoured Assassin's Creed Origins - previously known as Assassin's Creed Empire - will supposedly take place in Egypt, and it'll mark the return of naval transport and combat. There's even been a leaked
News Ubisoft Sequel The Crew 2 Buckles Up on PS4
You know as much as we do
To coincide with Ubisoft’s financial call, the French publisher has dropped the most anticlimactic announcements on its forums.

Rumour Far Cry Is Going Straight to the Wild, Wild West
Last chance saloon
If this rumour turns out to be true, then the entirety of Ubisoft will be praying to Clint Eastwood that Red Dead Redemption 2 gets delayed. The word on the street is that a new Far Cry game is due out in September, and it’ll apparently adopt a Spaghetti Western theme. Random? Not quite as random as the way this story started...
Rumour Egyptian Assassin's Creed to Feature Two Lead Heroes
Mummy mia
Has anyone else really missed Assassin’s Creed? The series took a year out in 2016, and it was the right decision for the fatiguing franchise – but as a big fan of the brand, this author kinda missed his annual open world fix. The good news is that a new instalment is on track for this year, and it’s rumoured to be set in Egypt...
News Play The Division For Free This Weekend, Starting Today

News Ubisoft May Be Taken Over by Vivendi Before the Year Is Out
Money talks
For quite a while now, mega media company Vivendi has slowly but surely been buying up shares in Ubisoft - the French publisher behind the likes of Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon. Once Vivendi owns 30 per cent of Ubisoft's shares - it currently holds 25 per cent - it'll be required by French law to make the publisher an offer,...
News Watch Dogs 2's Biggest Ever Update Drops This Month
Adds PvP, online races, more
Watch Dogs 2 garnered a decent amount of praise when it launched late last year, but its arrival didn't really set the world alight.

News Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Expansion Trailer Hits the Road
Ghost busters
Ghost Recon: Wildlands' first expansion, Narco Road, sees the rough and ready agents infiltrate a fresh part of the Santa Blanca cartel as they attempt to put a stop to an infamous drug smuggler.

News Steep Will Slope onto the PlayStation Store for Free This Weekend
Snow joke
Someone more cynical than this author may try to insinuate that Steep's impending free weekend on the PlayStation Store is a sign of slow sales… Wait a minute.

Guide 10 Ghost Recon: Wildlands Tips and Tricks for Rookie Agents
Help for conquering cartels
With Bolivia under the control of druglords, gangsters, and corrupt military factions, it's safe to say that Ghost Recon: Wildlands' South American setting isn't exactly a prime holiday destination. Thankfully, the game doesn't put you in the shoes of a hapless tourist, instead opting to make you the squad leader of a...

Ghost Recon: Wildlands tells a fictitious story, but one that takes place in an existing nation.

Two paid expansions are in the works, and a free update which adds player-versus-player modes will be hitting...
News Ghost Recon: Wildlands Betas Brought in Over 6.8 Million Players
That's a lot of downed tangos
Ubisoft has revealed that the two Ghost Recon: Wildlands betas - that's the closed and open tests - managed to attract over 6.8 million players.

Hands On Tagging Tangos and Having a Great Time in the Ghost Recon: Wildlands PS4 Beta
Tango yankee
Ghost Recon: Wildlands had its open beta over the weekend, so before the tidal wave made up of March releases comes crashing down on us, we decided to sink a fair few hours into it.

Rumour Assassin's Creed Egypt's Looking More and More Likely
Empires of the Sultan
Outside of a remastered compilation, Assassin's Creed remained in the Animus last year, giving Ubisoft a little more time to bring the brand back with a bang after a bit of oversaturation in the years prior. And 2017 will supposedly see the release of Empires, an Egyptian outing that promises to restore the series' reputation...
