Ubisoft heroes, THE BRAND-NEW range of chibi figurines, ANNOUNCES ITS SERIES 2 AND A UNIQUE COLLABORATION WITH BACCARAT

The Series 1 of Ubisoft’s new range of chibi figurines is available now and the Series 2 is coming soon.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — August 28^th, 2020 — Today, Ubisoft announces that the Series 1 of Ubisoft Heroes is now available on Ubisoft Store and regular distribution channels. In addition, Ubisoft expands its brand-new set of chibi figurines, inspired by famous heroes from the Ubisoft worlds, by announcing an incoming Series 2.

The first series of Ubisoft Heroes is available now at an RRP price of AU$24.95 per figurine and the Series 2 can already be preordered at the same price and will be available from October 27^th.This new series will include 4 iconic characters:

• Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a devoted and confident Viking clan leader, who is not scared of dying to protect his people. Despite his deep love for his clan, he is a lone wolf. Indeed, driven by his dream to prove his courage, he prefers to take on all tasks and risks himself. The male version of Eivor represents a conqueror and valiant leader who is ready to win new battles for his clan. On the other side, the female version of Eivor is represented triumphant after the discovery of a stronghold treasure after an intense raid battle.
• Honest, compassionate and loving London almost to a fault, the King of Hearts mask is there to encourage the Dedsec recruits that wears it to resist oppression in all its forms – with a flourish! Modelled after the actual skull of King Richard III that was recovered several years back, this type of mask is usually held together by wiring. In true DedSec fashion, the Dedsec Coronet Limited Edition has been added colourful LED illuminated lines, and a pixelated graphic cementing the crown for the second version of this figurine, available as a Ubisoft Store exclusive.
• The Panda has been busting moves in the last 7 editions of Just Dance. He first appeared in the song ‘Timber’ by Pitbull ft. Ke$ha in Just Dance 2014. Since then he’s been breaking it down as a coach for songs like ‘I Gotta Feeling’ by The Black Eyed Peas and, most recently, ‘Con Calma’ by Daddy Yankee Ft. Snow. The most loved and iconic character of the Just Dance franchise now joins the Ubisoft Heroes Collection with this colourful figurine.

Ubisoft is also announcing a unique collaboration with Baccarat, the most prestigious crystal manufacturer in the world. To celebrate the launch of Ubisoft Heroes Series 1, Ubisoft and Baccarat have partnered to pay tribute to the iconic Assassin’s Creed character Ezio Auditore with a unique creation in blue crystal. This handmade piece crafted by Baccarat’s artisans symbolises the unique know-how of the 256 years old crystal brand. Recognised for the inimitable talent of its blowers, gilders, engravers and cutters, Baccarat has perfectly recreated the Ubisoft Heroes version of Ezio by portraying the ancestor of Desmond Miles with his Eagle’s Vision. All Assassin’s Creed fans will have the opportunity to win this exceptional, limited edition piece, simply by purchasing a box of Series 1 figurines.

Five Golden tickets have been placed inside the boxes of Series 1 figurines that will be on sale from August 28, 2020. Consumers who will find the Golden ticket in the box will win a Baccarat’s Ezio Eagle’s Vision figurine.

The Ubisoft Heroes Series 1 are now available for purchase, and Ubisoft Heroes Series 2 are available for pre-order here: https://ubi.li/8BVch

Los Santos Summer Special: San Andreas Prix Week
Triple Rewards in Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races and More

Speed is a vice like any other: it’s expensive, exclusive and some people die in pursuit of it; especially when we’re talking about the kind of eye-watering speed that turns a car into a screaming blur on a racetrack.

Slide behind the wheel in any of the Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races and earn Triple GTA$ and RP all week long, including on these nine new tracks unveiled as part of the Los Santos Summer Special.

Keeping Track

Forget racing 50-foot catamarans through the Vespucci canals. This season the Vinewood elite have jumped on the open wheel racing hype with a track in their own backyard. It’s an easy living. Just roll from your sun lounger into the cockpit and get ready for that first-place champagne.

Life’s a Beach

What’s more uncomfortable than being in an open wheel cockpit in a g-force inducing slipstream hurtling you hundreds of miles an hour on a twisting road that makes you uncontrollably seasick while dodging competitors as they crash around you? Doing all that with sand in your pants. Surf’s up.

It’s a Sign

The iconic Vinewood Sign means many things to many people. To some, it’s fame, fortune and making it big. To you, it’s reaching the finish line with your cranium intact. Get ready to drive so close you can kiss the V for luck.

Top of The Town

There are two ways to make it into the executive boardrooms of the Los Santos business district. Option one, nepotism. Option two, you get into an open wheeler and insert yourself right into the AGM, because nothing impresses the hiring committee like driving a race car through the 40th floor window.

Dam

Everyone knows the health and safety board are too strapped for cash to stress test The Land Act Dam. Maybe that’s why they gave a private company the rights to build a high-speed open wheel racetrack. Nothing will confirm its sturdiness like a dozen exquisitely fine-tuned ultra-performance machines smashing into the first corner.

Road to Ruin

The Los Santos freeway has an estimated 71 fatal accidents per 100 miles. We know what you’re thinking. Those are rookie numbers. Let’s see if we can’t pump them up.

Headwind

What’s the last thing an endangered bird sees as it cruises through a turbine at Ron Alternates Wind Farm? Once upon a time, the answer was “progress”. These days, it’s more likely to be an open wheel racecar detonating two meters to its left.

Morningwood Glory

How were the residents of one of Los Santos’s most affluent areas convinced to give their permission for a challenging open wheel race right through their neighborhood? Bribery of course. That and the fact no one mentioned it would take place 20 stories up and block all-natural light. Do the residents mind? Yes. Do the race organizers care? No.

Abridged

At last, the feat of engineering no one asked for: a road bridge over the Alamo Sea. And who is this great masterpiece for? Is it the much-needed infrastructure that will finally drive capital investment into the economically deprived area of Sandy Shores? Don’t be ridiculous. It’s a racetrack for dumbest 1% of the wealthiest 1% of BAWSAQ 100 CEOs. Welcome to progress.

Double Rewards for VIP / MC Work and Challenges

Perhaps you’re more of a head honcho type looking for an illicitly lucrative payday. Whether you’re the figurehead of a shadowy Organization or the leader of a notorious Motorcycle Club, both VIP and MC Work & Challenges are dishing out Double Rewards.

Whichever activity is played more often this week will help determine next week’s in-game bonuses – if players take on more VIP Work & Challenges, then Double Rewards will be applied to all Special Cargo Sell Missions the following week. If players indulge in more MC Work & Challenges, then all Biker Business Sell Missions will be awarded with 2X GTA$ & RP from September 3^rd through September 9^th.

Plus, complete either VIP or MC Work and come back next week to receive a complimentary Green Dot Tech Mask.

All players who jump into GTA Online over the next seven days will receive the Vapers Den tee, free of charge. Ends September 2^nd.

On the Podium This Week: The Progen PR4

Swing by the lobby of The Diamond Casino & Resort and give the Lucky Wheel a whirl. This week on the podium is the Progen PR4 wrapped in the Estancia Tobacco-sponsored livery. Consider this a friendly reminder: don’t forget to make a pit-stop and keep your tires fresh. It could save your life.

DISCOUNTS

Unknown 9: Awakening Peels Back the Veil of Reflector Entertainment’s First Storyworld, Featuring a Videogame, Podcast, Novel Series, a Digital Interactive Experience and Much More

Reflector Entertainment has unveiled the teaser trailer for the studio’s first video game, Unknown 9: Awakening. The game represents the tentpole of a much larger content ecosystem that is being built around the ambitious Unknown 9 Storyworld. The studio is inviting everyone to delve into the world of Unknown 9, with a first look at the new teaser trailer for the video game that is set to release in 2021.

Driven by a seasoned and diverse development team, the Reflector studio has created a brand-new Storyworld that they’re officially revealing today. The team brings Unknown 9: Awakening, a 3^rd person narrative-driven action-adventure game, with a first look at its protagonist, Haroona, and a glimpse into her Fold abilities.

Raised on the streets of Kolkata, India and haunted by visions of her own death, Haroona struggles to understand her mysterious innate abilities to manipulate the unseen. A mentor soon helps Haroona hone her gifts, teaches her to access the mysterious hidden dimension known as The Fold and propels her on a journey to unlock the mysteries of this new realm.

“Unknown 9: Awakening is Reflector’s first game. It’s a passion project being undertaken by a small team of industry veterans that want to do things differently,” says Alexandre Amancio, CEO at Reflector Entertainment. “Our game features a complex heroine that must come to terms with who she is. The game is set in the Unknown 9 universe, a modern Storyworld that centers on humanity being on the edge of either transcendence or self-destruction.”

The broader Unknown 9 universe features interconnected media and content offerings with intersecting characters and storylines that form a rich and immersive Storyworld – including a mystery-thriller novel by bestselling author Layton Green entitled Unknown 9: Genesis, an original podcast called Unknown 9: Out of Sight, and a comic book, Unknown 9: Torment. These various offerings are all standalone products, but when experienced as a whole, they form a broader narrative and lead to a greater appreciation of the mysterious Unknown 9 universe. 

In anticipation of the game’s release in 2021, fans can delve into the Unknown 9 Storyworld by visiting unknown9.com where they can participate in Unknown 9: Chapters, an interactive, community-driven experience, created by Montreal studio Alice & Smith, that lets fans decipher mysteries of the Unknown 9universe. They will also gain access to parts of the novel, podcast, & comic book for free for a limited time.
