Speaking to Kotaku, Ancel explained that it took so long to get things going on a full scale basis because the technology simply wasn't there yet He says that serious development has[...]

The sequel is more focused on fun and vibrancy, and Ubisoft were hoping that would capture the imagination of consumers more readily. Sadly, it doesn't look like that is the case Eurogamer have taken Chart-Track's report and figured out that in the UK, Watch Dog 2's sales are likely around the 80k mark in its debut[...]

Not only is there a pretty hotly antcipated film coming out, The Ezio Collection is just around the corner.

As part of a plan to keep French game maker Ubisoft from being swallowed up by investor Vivendi, which owns 20% of Ubisoft, CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that the company is working with Netflix to produce a live action series based on one of their popular video game titles No word on what property could be[...]

This game is dealing with some really interesting themes from digital privacy and invasive tech companies, and I can't wait to jump in to see how Ubisoft have handled those.

Assassin's Creed is going to have a pretty fair shot at being one of the best video game ever made I reckon. It has a good director and talent attached,

During an earnings call (via GameSpot), Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot said the game would have an open beta next quarter, presumably meaning January-March On top of that there will also be closed betas, all intended to kick the tires of the servers. I'm interested in seeing how this one hits people When I played it, it felt quite[...]

With us in the thick of game season, it is easy to forget 'the hits' that are coming each week. Heck, just today, World of Final Fantasy, Skyrim Special

Bridge Crew from Ubisoft is promising players the opportunity to take up different positions on the deck of the Enterprise and really immerse yourself in the universe with a few friends.

As promised, here is our second trailer for the Assassin's Creed movie. This one goes into the action, story and iconography a lot more from the series,

Last week, Beyond Good and Evil creator Michel Ancel posted a piece of concept art which seemed to suggest a sequel to the game. I wasn't convinced since

We seem to do this dance once every year or so. After a long time of not a single peep about the game, franchise creator Michel Ancel will throw a bone at

I'm quite jazzed about the the Assassin's Creed movie. That universe could lend itself to film really well. It's massive, with a near endless scope of

It's pretty standard themes for a lot of books, documentaries, films and TV dealing with this stuff, but it is interesting to see such a corporate video game take aim here.

It is meant to launch towards the end of March next year, so it is a little wild that it hasn't been announced officially yet. It seems Ubisoft CEO has been made privy to the console though and he seems quite impressed judging by new remarks Speaking to IGN, Yves Guillemot talked a little about the console saying: I[...]

This is an interesting bit of news. Not so long ago, Hollywood was pretty adverse to movies having too many scenes involving foreign languages in their

I like what I have played of For Honor. The way it stages combat is quite unique for a game of this status. The sword fighting feel tactical and

It shows Ubisoft going through a demo in which they explore the city of San Francisco and see where it takes them It shows how you will find side quests, to use of gadgets and of course, the depths of your hacking.

Talk of Assassin's Creed remasters, or even just ports for the franchise have followed the series for some time. Usually the idea is that all of the games

But there is indeed a pretty dense story that Ubisoft seem to be trying to build. This new trailer released for Gamescom alludes to that, pitting the three factions the game features, Vikings, Samurai and Knights against one another Having played the game, I can't wait to see how all of these mix with the game's[...]

It was certainly part of the first game, but never quite felt like a focus though. To bring you up to speed on how it will work, Ubisoft have released this new feature walking through how online will work in the game It says that everything is completely optional, but that you will be able to[...]

To me, the dour tone and self seriousness was that title's downfall, so it is exciting to see Watch_Dogs 2 go for a livelier tone. In this new behind the scenes video, Ubisoft talk about working with real hackers to get the spirit of the 'hacktivist' world It seems they've really zoned in on the counter[...]

There haven't been too many new franchises announced at this years E3, but Steep is probably the biggest one so far.
