• Hibana is an expert at gaining entry in high risk areas thanks to her explosive leadership on the field. She is equipped with the SuperNova and Type-89 as primary weapons, allowing for rapid motions and providing precise room-to-room clearings.

• Echo, a tactical and technology-driven Operator, is also equipped with the SuperNova, along with the MP5SD4 as primary weapons, allowing him to proceed rapidly and precisely in Close Quarter Battle contexts.

Season Pass owners will benefit from seven days of exclusive access to these new Operators, while all other players will be able to unlock them with their Renown or R6 Credits after the exclusive period.

About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organizations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter confrontations. For the first time in a Rainbow Six game, players will engage in sieges, a new style of assault where enemies have the means to transform their environments into modern strongholds while Rainbow Six teams lead the assault to breach the enemy’s position. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire and deployable shields, laying mines and more, or to breach the enemies’ position using observation drones, setting charges, rappelling and more. The fast pace and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.

Experience the POWER of big data with watch_dogs® 2 predictive world

Developed in collaboration with the Psychometrics Centre of the University of Cambridge and based on scientific research, Predictive World processes users’ data to generate accurate predictions on them and their behaviours.

Sydney, Australia – November 11, 2016 – Today, Ubisoft® revealed Predictive World, an online experience that reveals what a powerful, all-seeing algorithm can predict about an individual based on their online footprints, public information and Facebook Likes.

A World of Data

Every day, we create 2.5 billion gigabytes of data, from our last purchase online to our likes on social media platforms. Nowadays, most recruiters scrutinize our social networks before even looking at our resumes. When we apply for a loan to our bank, its acceptance is assessed depending on our private health data. And in some US cities, the police can apprehend individuals based on algorithms that can predict their criminal potential thanks to data such as age, ethnicity, gender and social background.

The dangers of Big Data and predictive algorithms are themes at the heart of the narrative of Ubisoft’s upcoming open world action-adventure game WATCH_DOGS 2. The hero Marcus Holloway is wrongly profiled as a potential criminal by a city-wide operating system collecting & analysing data on every citizen.

When Fiction meets Reality

Predictive World and WATCH_DOGS 2 are strong reminders that in today’s ultra-connected world, the systematic collection and processing of private data on a massive scale marks a new step in an era of rising surveillance and might represent a threat to personal freedom. Similarly to what happens in WATCH_DOGS 2, Predictive World lets users imagine how corporations, governments, or criminals could use their personal data against them, and help players understand the context of the game.

Predictive World has been built based on an algorithm developed by the Psychometrics Centre of the University of Cambridge, using a wide range of verified data sources such as psychological and social media data from over 6 million research participants, and a bespoke infrastructure designed for this project containing 6.4 billion data points. Collecting and processing users’ digital footprints and combining predictions with large amounts of open data, the system is able to make more than 60 predictions about the individual, from personality traits and intelligence to life expectancy and even financial risk propensity.

An interactive innovative experience

This dynamic and adaptable experience makes tangible the relationship between gender and salary, between city location and risk of being a victim of homicide. More importantly, users can interact with the predictions, change outcomes and understand the relationship between the different variables. By providing unexpected insights across many areas of life, Predictive World gives a glimpse of the power of data and how anyone having access to it can build accurate profiles of individuals.

To go even further, VICE released “User Profiled”, a series of documentary videos sponsored by Ubisoft with the purpose of educating and giving an in-depth look at the dangers of Big Data in today’s society. You can watch Part 1 and Part 2 of the documentary online.

To try Predictive World and see what your digital footprints reveal about you, visit: watchdogs.com/predictiveworld .

WATCH_DOGS 2 will be available worldwide on consoles November 15, 2016 and on Windows PC November 29, 2016. For more information about WATCH_DOGS 2, please visit watchdogs.ubisoft.com.

ADAM WOLFE’S EPISODE 4 NOW AVAILABLE ALONG WITH THE FULL BUNDLE ON iOS AND STEAM

Step Into The Troubled Shoes of our Protagonist, Adam Wolfe, For The First Time or The Last Time as He Solves The Chilling Mystery to Find His Sister

Belgrade, Serbia – November 10, 2016 – Available now by independent developer Mad Head Games is Episode 4 “Zero Hour” as well as the full episodic bundle of Adam Wolfe, a new IP in the Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure (HOPA) genre, which successfully launched its first two episodes on October 6, 2016 to fantastic reviews from the gaming media as well as praises from its communities.

Since the game’s Episode 1 launch, Adam Wolfe has captured the interest of HOPA players from around the world. Episode 4 will serve as the culmination to the memorable episodic adventure with the game’s tortured protagonist, Adam Wolfe. Episode 4 “Zero Hour” is now available as an individual download or as part of the bundle.

Adam Wolfe’s full bundle offers all four episodes at one price for players to enjoy forever with no further purchases needed. The bundle is available at a special launch discounted price of $8.99, £6.99 and €8,99 on iOS via the App Store and for PC and Mac via Steam. The game features an English voiceover and is fully localized in English, French, German, Russian, simplified Chinese and Serbian.

Navigate as the supernatural investigator, Adam Wolfe, as he deals with the shadows of his past while solving mysterious cases in the seedy underbelly of San Francisco in this neo-noir game that offers unique puzzles, a gripping story, incredible hand-drawn art, action set-pieces and a cinematic quality to the HOPA genre. Use your wits, your detective instincts and, when all else fails, your six-shooter in this psychological thriller packed with challenging gameplay. Secret societies, unnatural afflictions and ancient covenants await in Adam Wolfe‘s pulse pounding four episodes.

In the first two episodes – “The Ancient Flame” and “The Devil You Know” – Adam Wolfe is haunted by the disappearance of his sister, Allie. He struggles with his own demons as he investigates occult crimes, supernatural occurrences and the horrific reality of San Francisco crime syndicates. As players solve the mysteries before them, they slowly unravel a conspiracy that could lead Adam to his missing sibling, or simultaneously drag him down into the dark abyss of the city, forever.

The story continues in Adam Wolfe’s Episode 3 “The Lady and The Painter” and Episode 4 “Zero Hour” as Adam delves deeper into The Timeless – a cult discovered to have potential ties to the disappearance of Allie. Guided, quite literally, by ghosts of the past; Adam looks into the mysterious painter as players continue to unravel the mystery set before them. But nothing will prepare them for how the story ends during “Zero Hour”, the episode that serves as the culmination to the memorable episodic adventure. Will Adam finally reunite with Allie or will he continue his descent into the dark abyss?

On Steam and iOS, Adam Wolfe’s full bundle is available for $8.99, £6.99 and €8,99 at a limited launch discounted price.

SYDNEY, 10th November, 2016 – Sony Interactive Entertainment Australia (SIE Aust.) today launched PlayStation®4 Pro (PS4™ Pro), a high-end system that supports cutting-edge imaging technology to make games look richer and more detailed than ever before. PS4™ Pro, which supports dynamic 4K gaming and 4K entertainment* is now available with a recommended retail price of AUD $559.95. Blockbuster PS4 games, including Call Of Duty®: Infinite Warfare (Activision), Ratchet & Clank™, The Last of Us™ Remastered, andUncharted™4: A Thief’s End(SIE Worldwide Studios),have been updated to take advantage of PS4 Pro’s increased power, taking the graphics and visual experience to all new heights.

“The launch of PS4 Pro is an immensely exciting moment for PlayStation. Never before have we introduced a new console in the middle of a platform’s lifecycle,” said Jim Ryan, President of SIEE and President of Global Sales & Marketing, SIE “By providing developers with a new way to showcase their creativity, PS4 Pro enables us to prove our commitment to innovation, as well as deliver captivating gameplay experiences for the players.”

PS4 Pro leverages the latest imaging technology by supporting dynamic 4K quality* resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR). The powerful CPU and GPU of PS4 Pro allows developers to create higher-quality games that output dynamic 4K quality* graphics with unprecedented visual precision, or smoother and more stable frame rates. Like all PS4 consoles, the system is also compatible with HDR imaging technology that produces more realistic, strikingly vivid visuals that are truer to the way the human eye naturally sees.

The introduction of PS4 Pro, which sits alongside the standard PS4, will provide consumers with more choice. Users can play every PS4 game on both PS4 Pro and the standard PS4, which was recently released in a slimmer and lighter model at a suggested retail price of AUD $439.95. PlayStation®VR is compatible with both systems.  PS4 Pro and the standard PS4 will also share the same user interface and have access to the same vibrant online community. Users are able to select their console of choice, based on their needs and preferences.

YouTube, already one of the largest sources of 4K content, is also receiving an update today to support 4K content on PS4 Pro.

For gamers who own an HDTV that does not support either 4K or HDR, PS4 Pro provides a number of benefits, such as higher or more stable framerates, and enhanced graphics and environments.
