Assassins Creed Shadows fans are trying to figure out a cryptic marketing puzzle hidden by Ubisoft.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin's Creed Red is now officially Assassin's Creed Shadows andconfirmed that a trailer will release this week.

If it’s not enough that Ubisoft accidentally revealed the release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows ahead of the cinematic trailer premiere, Season Pass details and now even the official artwork are circulating. The latter is courtesy of Rainbow Six Siege leaker Ubisoft_Frax, seemingly confirming reports of the game’s two playable protagonists.

A new Assassin's Creed Valhalla NVIDIA DLSS 3 mod was released online today, bringing massive performance improvements to the latest main entry in the series developed by Ubisoft.

Ubisoft will reveal a new cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows (formerly Assassin’s Creed Codename Red) on May 15th, 9 AM PST. However, details have already begun leaking, including its supposed release date. Now Ubisoft_Frax on Twitter, known for leaking details on Rainbow Six Siege, has reported it will have a Season Pass.

Buckle up. A bunch of players are competing to cross the finish line of a brutally difficult tower of racetracks in racing game Trackmania, with a prize pool of $30,000 waiting for the first three drivers to reach the top. The course is a huge, winding gauntlet made of pieces suspended in midair, and even expert players have fallen from their positions over 1000 times, their cars hurtling back to the bottom of the tower to start again. The top contenders are currently trying to crack a difficult spot to reach the 12th floor, at which point the course will reveal unknown territory. They seem a little tired, which is not surprising. They are 11 days into the event.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, the next mainline title in Ubisoft’s series, is now officially Assassin’s Creed Shadows. A new cinematic trailer goes live tomorrow at 9 AM PST, but, in classic Ubisoft fashion, the release date has seemingly already leaked.

Following the release date leak, Assassin's Creed Shadows also got its pricing and season pass/DLC plan leaked, although through another source.

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Assassin's Creed Red is now Assassin's Creed Shadows, and it seems the publisher has also unofficially - but quite accidentally - confirmed the game's release date.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is coming out on 15th November 2024, it’s been leaked by the descriptions on Ubisoft’s YouTube pages for the reveal trailer.

Shortly after generative AI became the hottest topic in pretty much every industry, Inworld started making headlines in 2023 with its Character Engine technology that was first implemented in a series of PC games (Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto V) by modder Bloc.

Assassin's Creed Codename Red finally has an official name. The game, first announced in September 2022, has been revealed as Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ubisoft announced late Monday that Shadows will be fully revealed on May 15. As previously confirmed, Assassin's Creed Shadows will be set in feudal Japan and is likely to be an open-world action-RPG along the lines of 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Alongside the game's title, Ubisoft also revealed the logo for Shadows.

The Assassin’s Creed Shadows release date and other details about the game, including DLC plans, have seemingly leaked.

Ubisoft has announced that a new cinematic trailer will debut for Assassin’s Creed Codename Red on May 15th at 9 AM PT. It also confirmed the official title – Assassin’s Creed Shadows – while revealing a massive hourglass display (complete with red grains of sand) counting down in Japan.

Evil Empire has announced a new release date for The Rogue Prince of Persia.

This summer, we’re living in a brave new world. E3 is officially dead — for real this time. That means there’s a vacuum to be filled as publishers still look to showcase their games during high-profile events. There’s both good news and bad news for anyone who looks forward to E3 season. The good news? Summer Game Fest is filling that gap, alongside several streams that’ll orbit around it. The bad news? Keeping track of it all is a huge pain.

June is going to be the biggest month of the year for gaming. With updates from major franchises such as , and major companies like Xbox and Nintendo, alongside some long-awaited releases such as 's DLC.

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Evil Empire have delayed the Early Access launch of the recently announced The Rogue Prince of Persia from May 14 to a little later in May. An exact date will be announced on May 13.

Last December, Ubisoft announced it was delisting its MMO racing game The Crew from all digital storefronts but shutting down the servers on March 31, 2024. Weeks after the servers were slated to shut down, Ubisoft began notifying players who owned a copy of The Crew that it was removing it from their Ubisoft accounts.

In a week (month? year?) when lots of people are feeling pretty sour over the way some game companies choose to explain their decisions to their audience, here’s a rarity — a game delay statement that shows such humility, honesty, and passion for the medium that it’s gone over extremely well.

The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed, but its Early Access release will still be in May. According to The Rogue Prince of Persia developers, the delay was to avoid competing with the surprise release of Hades 2.

Evil Empire’s The Rogue Prince of Persia, a 2D side-scrolling rogue-lite based on Ubisoft’s franchise, has seen a delay. Previously slated for May 14th, early access will now start later this month, with a new release date to be announced on May 13th.

The developers behind the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws just shared some insight into how the game’s Reputation system will shape Kay’s adventure across the Outer Rim. Almost two years after Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora studio Massive Entertainment announced that it was working on an open-world Star Wars game, they officially revealed Star Wars Outlaws during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase. This crime caper will be set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and will put players in the role of an aspiring scoundrel trying to pull off the biggest heist in the history of the Star Wars criminal underworld.

Ubisoft announced this news via an official tweet, and you can check that out down below.

Apple is adding a bunch of new titles to its Arcade video game subscription service next month, including Return to Monkey Island. It's the first new entry in the franchise by series creator Ron Gilbert since Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, which was released way back in 1991. The game still revolves around the pirate Guybrush Threepwood who's on a journey to unearth the secret of Monkey Island. You'll see some familiar locations from the older games in the new title, which also features Threepwood's wife Elaine Marley and his arch-enemy, the zombie pirate LeChuck. Return to Monkey Island is already available on the App Store, but it's coming to Apple Arcade on June 6 where subscribers can access the whole game, including the in-app purchases non-subscribers would have to buy.

The best way for Xbox gamers to create personalized controllers, Xbox Design Labs allows users to customize every button on an Xbox controller with a vast array of available colors. The program even offers fully customizable Xbox Elite controllers with its own set of premium colors and textures.

The UK government has responded to a petition asking for "government intervention" to force the industry to keep video games "in a reasonably working state when support ends", rather than allowing them to become unplayable such as when online servers are shut down. The petition was prompted by the closure in March of ten-year-old Ubisoft racing game The Crew.

Tom Clancy's XDefiant is almost upon us. Ubisoft is releasing the free-to-play first-person shooter on May 21 for the Xbox Series X|S, the PS5 and PC through Ubisoft Connect. The developer is kicking things off with the preseason version of the game, which is scheduled to last for six weeks before XDefiant's first season officially starts. Ubisoft announced the game way back in 2021, promising team-based matches with a focus on gunplay that will include elements from other games in the Tom Clancy universe.

XDefiant, Ubisoft's free-to-play first-person shooter, finally has a release date.

According to the studio, XDefiant will feature five different game modes across 14 maps at launch. Players will start out with 24 weapons and 44 attachments and can try out five playable factions inspired by Ubisoft franchises.

Good news, people whose day-to-day lives are woefully short on blingy Clancified squad-murdering. Ubisoft's elusive free-to-play shooter XDefiant finally has a release date, 21st May 2024. Or at least, that's when the preseason launches, providing six weeks of access to the modes, maps and factions from last month's server test.

Ubisoft's upcoming multiplayer arena shooter XDefiant has bravely positioned itself as a potential rival to Call of Duty, though it feels like it's been in development for a century. After several test sessions and community feedback, Ubisoft has finally announced a release date for the title, as we'll finally be able to hop into some fast-paced multiplayer action when the game drops later this month on May 21 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

XDefiant, Ubisoft's Call of Duty rival, has finally revealed its new release date of May 21. When it was first revealed in 2021, XDefiant was met with confusion and criticism from Ubisoft fans. Since then, after several playtest periods and a beta last summer, sentiment surrounding the FPS improved, as it featured sound gunplay and engaging combat, though it ultimately wasn't as polished as Call of Duty. Despite the positive response, the title was hit with several more delays, one in October and another this past March, leaving the fate of the game up in the air.

Ubisoft’s XDefiant, a first-person shooter meant to take on the likes of Call of Duty, will finally get a wide release and enter its Preseason on May 21.

An Xbox gamer recently purchased a $5 copy of Ubisoft's Riders Republic, but it arrived while still in the plastic security case. Big box retailers like to lock their games in special plastic boxes that are designed to be unlocked using a specific tool. These anti-theft devices help companies stop potential shoplifters from stealing Xbox games and other products, though they aren't always 100% successful.

Before Assassin’s Creed Mirage launched for PC and consoles last October, Ubisoft announced that the game would also be coming to certain iOS devices in early 2024. Given that we’re now in May and that has yet to often, plans obviously changed, but the company has now announced a specific release date for the open world action-adventure title’s iOS port.

Players are review bombing The Crew 2 in response to Ubisoft's recent decision to shut down support for 2014's The Crew. Nearly six years after its release, The Crew 2 landed in the middle of a heated conflict between the franchise's longtime fans and its own creators. The online-only racing game has since seen a spike in negative reviews, reflecting the tumultuous relationship between its player base and the studio behind the series' development.

Ubisoft is getting ready to celebrate May the 4th, announcing that a x event featuring Darth Maul as a playable character will arrive in the game.

Following the conclusion of XDefiant’s Server Test Session on April 19th to 21st, executive producer Mark Rubin says a release date is coming “very soon.”

Martin Hultberg - once the director behind Ubisoft's looting, shooting The Division - now has his eyes on the fledgling get-in-and-go extraction shooter genre, which he reckons can still reach the "mass market."

Ubisoft and Microsoft appear to be tag-teaming a legal crackdown on people who try to pass off fake versions of Minecraft and Assassin's Creed official merchandise as the real thing.

Assassin's Creed Mirage's director has said that he has ideas on how to extend the story of protagonist Basim.

Ubisoft opens up about new content for Assassin's Creed Mirage, confirming that it won't get any DLC, but the devs may not be done exploring Basim's story. This latest title in the franchise received considerable recognition from new and long-term fans of the hooded protagonists. With Assassin's Creed Mirage, the franchise went back to its roots by offering a compelling and story-driven narrative that die-hard AC fans were waiting for.

Star Wars Outlaws will task players with dealing with several different criminal syndicates at the same time, and while many of these – like the Hutts, the Pykes, and Crimson Dawn – will be familiar to fans of the property, the game will also be introducing things of its own creation into the Star Wars canon as well. There is, for instance, the Ashiga Clan, one of the criminal factions in the game, and in an article published by Game Informer, members of the game’s development team at Massive Entertainment have revealed more details on the newly created Syndicate.

Questions were no doubt asked about the future of Watch Dogs when the latest game in the series, Watch Dogs Legion, underperformed both critically and commercially (even though its initial sales numbers might have hinted otherwise). The PS5 and PS4 open world title, which first launched in 2020, saw a lot of improvement through post-launch updates and DLC, but the damage had been done long before Ubisoft got around to fixing things.

A leaker has claimed that Ubisoft Toronto's Splinter Cell Remake will feature raytraced reflections and raytraced audio that can affect the game in interesting ways. Although the Splinter Cell Remake was announced years ago, it's still without a release date. However, recent hints suggest that could be changing soon.

As an Assassin's Creed girlie, I enjoyed Assassin's Creed Mirage, a pared down (but still big game, which is really just proof of how bloated AAA games have gotten, but I'll stop because it's not time to take my personal bugbear for a walk) Ass Creed game that was closer to the simplicity of the older games in the stab 'em up stealth-action series. Yesterday creative director Stéphane Boudon and art director Jeal-Luc Sala took to Reddit for an AMA, and in response to a question about plans for Mirage DLC, Boudon said no - but that they have ideas for more stories for Basim.

Assassin's Creed Mirage launched in October last year, offering a pared back, back-to-the basics experience reminiscent of older games in the series. The action-adventure title from Ubisoft took players to 9th-century Baghdad, putting them in the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones and rises through the ranks to become a master assassin. While there's no word on if the franchise will revisit the character again, Assassin's Creed Mirage creative director has said that the team has ideas about where Basim's story could go.

French publishing giant Ubisoft has promoted Cécile Russeil to the position of EVP of communications, corporate affairs, diversity, inclusion and accessibility, human resources and legal.

Last year’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage was very much a back-to-the-basics moment for Ubisoft’s flagship franchise, opting to have a smaller world with a gameplay loop focused on stealth and parkouring, rather than the RPG mechanics that the series has become known for. Whether or not we’ll ever see a direct follow-up to Mirage is a question that some series fans have wondered at since the game launched last October, and though there’s no concrete answers on that front yet, its development team certainly seems open to the idea of making more games with Mirage’s protagonist Basim.

Assassin's Creed Hexe, which is currently a code name and is set to launch after the Japan-set Assassin's Creed Red, is the subject of a new report from Insider Gaming, which claims the title is aiming for a release in 2026. You'll apparently be playing as a female protagonist called Elsa, who comes equipped with supernatural abilities. One of which is said to be the ability to control cats, with footage sent to the outlet supposedly depicting a chase sequence where the player distracts guards by taking control of a feline.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s creative director has ideas for further developing the story of the game’s protagonist Basim.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is the series’ next mainline instalment, but we also know what’s next after the Japan-set game. Alongside Red, in 2022, Ubisoft also announced Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, a game that, as per reports, is set in Central Europe and focuses on the witch trials during the 16th century. Now, new potential details on the title have emerged courtesy of a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson.

For some time now, we’ve known Ubisoft has two big Assassin’s Creed projects in the works – the more traditional Japanese ninja and samurai epic Codename Red, and the more experimental Codename Hexe. In development at Ubisoft Montreal, we know Assassin’s Creed Hexe will be a “different type of game” with a dark witchcraft-focused storyline and perhaps a more linear structure, but beyond that, we haven’t heard much about what’s cooking.

Assassin's Creed is in a state of limbo right now, as fans prepare for Ubisoft to finally show us what it's been working on. We know that the developer has several Assassin's Creed games in development at the moment, with Assassin's Creed Red looking the most likely to release first, but we still don't know much about its other projects, including the rather ominous Assassin's Creed Hexe.

Assassin's Creed Hexe's protagonist will possess magical abilities, such as a way to possess cats, and to manage some form of fear system, according to a recent report. Assassin's Creed Hexe has only received a teaser trailer so far, leaving much to the rumor mill and speculation, but it seems to take place during the 16th-century Witch Hunts of the Holy Roman Empire.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received a new update that adds a 40 FPS mode for players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Ubisoft's latest open world adventure game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was released just before the end of 2023 and has mainly been praised for its stunning first-person visuals. Set in the timeline of the blockbuster films, Frontiers of Pandora gives players control of a young Na'vi as they escape and fight back against the RDA.

The future of the Watch Dogs franchise appears shaky following a new rumor suggesting Ubisoft has canceled several projects related to the series. This news comes after the middling critical and commercial reception of the last entry in the Watch Dogs franchise, 2020's Legion.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora came and went without making too much of a mark for a great many people who played it, but developer Massive Entertainment has continued to put out new patches for the open world title since its launch in December, with another one now having gone live in the form of Title Update 3.2.

A new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora update is now live on PC and consoles, introducing new improvements and features to the game developed by Ubisoft Massive.
