Mask Up and Join the Resistance

[SYDNEY, Australia] – OCTOBER 29, 2020 – Ubisoft^® announced today that the highly-anticipated video game, Watch Dogs^®: Legion, is now available worldwide on Xbox One, PlayStation^®4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, Stadia and Ubisoft+*, Ubisoft’s subscription service. Watch Dogs: Legion will also release on Xbox Series X | S on November 10 and digitally on PlayStation^®5 alongside the console on November 12. The physical version of the game on PlayStation^®5 will be available on November 24.

Built with a next-gen concept, Watch Dogs: Legion introduces “Play as Anyone,” a never-before-seen gameplay innovation created by Ubisoft Toronto**, the studio behind Watch Dogs: Legion. Play as Anyone gives players the entire city of London to choose for their roster of resistance members. Every single person in the open world can be recruited and played, is unique and has a backstory, personality and skillset. Watch Dogs: Legion will also support hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing on Xbox Series X and full ray-tracing support on Nvidia RTX-equipped PC devices, bringing real-time ray-tracing reflections to the streets of London. Players who purchase Watch Dogs: Legion on Xbox One or PlayStation^®4 will be able to upgrade their game to the next-gen version (Xbox Series X or PlayStation^®5) at no additional cost,*** while keeping their progression and in-game content between current and next-generation of consoles within the same family thanks to the new Ubisoft Connect ecosystem. 

In Watch Dogs: Legion, London is facing its downfall. Amidst the growing unrest of a restless London, an unknown entity named Zero-Day has framed secret underground resistance DedSec for coordinated bombings across London. In the aftermath, criminal opportunists from every corner of London took hold and filled the void left by a defeated government. As a member of DedSec, players will be going up against those criminal opportunists in Watch Dogs: Legion: sadists, mercenaries, cybercriminals, and more, so they’ll have to be prepared for a variety of situations. Players must recruit members into their DedSec Resistance to take on these criminal opportunists, liberate London and uncover the identity of Zero-Day.

Players who acquire the Season Pass of Watch Dogs: Legion will get access to Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline, a new storyline which includes Aiden Pearce from the original Watch Dogs game and Wrench from Watch Dogs 2, fully playable in the single player campaign and online. Additionally, players will be introduced to Darcy, a member of the Assassin Order, thanks to a crossover with Assassin’s Creed^®; and Mina, a subject of transhuman experiments, who possesses the ability to mind control individuals. In addition to the unique playable characters and Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline story expansion, the Season Pass will offer extra DedSec missions, the original Watch Dogs Complete Edition from 2014****, and more. The Season Pass of Watch Dogs: Legion is available for purchase as part of the Gold, Ultimate and Collector editions.

The Online multiplayer mode of Watch Dogs: Legion will be available on December 3 as part of a free game update for all Watch Dogs: Legion players. Watch Dogs: Legion has a robust post-launch plan that will bring fresh content to the single-player mode and introduce online multiplayer modes.  

Watch Dogs: Legion has a variety of accessibility options, ranging from fully customizable controls to directional audio captions. A full list of accessibility options can be found on news.ubisoft.com.

XSEED Games Announces Surprise Launch for Remastered Cult Classics from SUDA51

Torrance, Calif. – October 28, 2020 – Following this morning’s Nintendo Direct Mini reveal, XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., surprised fans with the North American launch of remastered versions of No More Heroesand No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. The stylish cult classics from the imaginative mind of SUDA51 were previously released for the Nintendo Wii™ system in 2008 and 2010 respectively. Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. and Marvelous Inc., both titles are now available for the Nintendo Switch™ system digitally via the Nintendo eShop in North America.

In No More Heroes, Travis Touchdown starts off as the #11 ranked assassin in the United Assassins Association (UAA), and with his trusty beam katana must face off against the world’s top 10 assassins. He rides the streets of Santa Destroy on his signature motorbike, the Schpeltiger, and packs an arsenal of pro-wrestling moves honed from years of watching wrestlers power bomb and body slam each other. It’s a long way to the top, but the all-American otaku won’t stop until he’s the #1 assassin in the world, baby!

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle takes place three years after Travis achieves his goal of being the #1 assassin in the UAA. However, time has not been kind to him, and he finds himself falling down the ranks to #51. Adding to his problems is Skelter Helter, another assassin who has sworn revenge on Travis for the death of his brother. With his trusty beam katanas in-hand for twice the hacking and slashing, and teamed up with his allies Shinobu and Henry Cooldown, Travis is on a mission to reclaim his #1 position and fend off new challengers. An otaku at heart though, there’s always time for retro 8-bit minigames to help him earn some money and power up!

Arcade Action Platformer ABS vs THE BLOOD QUEEN Debuts on Early Access Today

Brooklyn, NY — October 28, 2020 — ABS vs THE BLOOD QUEEN, the first single-player Killer Queen game in BumbleBear Games’ arcade franchise enjoyed by millions, unleashes tricky platforming to escape the undead hordes on Steam Early Access today.

When COVID-19 turned arcades and other Killer Queen arenas upside-down, BumbleBear Games quickly set out to create something new that brings the thrill of arcade competition home for both diehards and brand-new players alike.

Enter ABS vs THE BLOOD QUEEN, a procedurally-generated, tough-as-nails retro platformer starring Killer Queen’s most iconic hero: Abs! Tap and flap through a series of perilous pitfalls while competing for high scores on multiple evolving battlefields. Abs will die (a LOT) on his quest to dethrone the devious Blood Queen, but the thrill of the hunt, dynamic soundtrack, and competitive leaderboards keeps players saying “just one more run.”

Seasoned Killer Queen veterans will feel right at home slamming berries into Warrior gates to gain their wings, outmaneuvering opponents in air-to-air combat, and combining power-ups to become the Totally-Not-Busted Speed Warrior. New players can quickly learn the skills they need to survive, and those skills also translate directly between the other games in the KQ Universe.

The Early Access build debuts with two worlds: The Outskirts and Hell (things escalate quickly in this game!), with more worlds, bosses, and enemies currently in development. Launch also includes Daily, Monthly, and Random challenges, with arcade-style scoring and leaderboards to match. Not able to reach the high score today? With dynamic daily leaderboards, tomorrow’s a whole different story. 

Games like Killer Queen live and die entirely by their community, so BumbleBear is moving AvBQ to Steam Early Access, following April’s successful Kickstarter. With continued input coming directly from their most dedicated player base, BumbleBear is committed to creating the best version of ABS vs THE BLOOD QUEEN possible.

“After our Kickstarter, we wanted to launch on Steam Early Access because we know that games like Killer Queen live and die entirely by their community,” said Josh DeBonis, president of BumbleBear Games. “Further input from our awesome dedicated player base will help with our commitment to create the best version of ABS vs THE BLOOD QUEEN possible.”

To learn more, please visit the game’s Steam page, watch for updates on the Killer Queen Twitter and Facebook.

The team is based in Brooklyn, NY, and created arcade phenomenon Killer Queen.
