SYDNEY — June 14, 2016 — Today, during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft^® and Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced an expanded partnership for WATCH_DOGS^® 2, the newest installment in the blockbuster Watch Dogs franchise in which players embody Marcus Holloway, a young hacker from the San Francisco Bay Area. WATCH_DOGS 2 will release on November 15, 2016 and all PlayStation®4 players will be granted a 30-day exclusive access to all the post launch downloadable content.

Ubisoft and Sony Interactive Entertainment have collaborated on the WATCH_DOGS brand from the start. At the forefront of new generation consoles, WATCH_DOGS was one of the first to announce a title exclusive to next generation consoles in 2012. Ubisoft and Sony then worked hand in hand with a partnership in the early days of the PlayStation^®4 and WATCH_DOGS became the best selling new franchise on these new platforms within the first week of its launch. The partnership goes farther as Ubisoft Motion Pictures, the film and television division of Ubisoft®, announced its collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment and New Regency on development of a feature film based on WATCH_DOGS.

In WATCH_DOGS 2, players will use hacking as their ultimate weapon and explore their surroundings as a hacker and use the networked infrastructure of the city but also every person and connected device available in the game world to achieve their goals. Pushing the hacking gameplay even further, players will have the freedom to choose how to control their environment to complete their missions, and enjoy the chain of events they create in this living, dynamic open world environment.

ubisoft^® announces NEW VIRTUAL REALITY GAME STAR TREK^TM: BRIDGE CREW

Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before

Announcement trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eCGV9qQYtQ

SYDNEY — June 14, 2016 — Today at E3, Ubisoft^® announced Star Trek™: Bridge Crew, a new virtual reality game where players explore space as a member of the Federation. Playable co-operatively with a crew or solo as Captain, Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts players directly onto the bridge in a Starfleet ship. Under license by CBS Consumer Products, Star Trek: Bridge Crew will be available on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive this fall, and PlayStation^®VR at launch of the platform/October.

The mission: explore a largely uncharted sector of space known as The Trench, in hopes of locating a suitable new home world for the decimated Vulcan populace while coming into direct conflict with the vaunted Klingon Empire. Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts a player and their friends into the heart of a new starship, the U.S.S. Aegis, where every action and decision that is made together will determine the fate of the ship and crew.

Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, Star Trek: Bridge Crew was designed exclusively for VR, capitalizing on the powerful sense of social presence only possible through virtual reality. Through hand tracking and full-body avatars, including real-time lip-sync, players can experience what it’s like to serve as an officer on the bridge of a Federation starship.

As a crew, players will form a team of four to operate the roles of Captain, Helm, Tactical or Engineer. Each role is crucial to the success of the varied missions players face, and only by working together can the crew complete their objectives. Also playable in solo, players will assume the role of Captain and dispatch orders to their NPC crew mates. The Captain’s strategic decisions will be vital in order to successfully complete missions.

“We feel privileged to work with this amazing brand, especially considering its decorated history and what it has meant to people over the last five decades,” said David Votypka, Sr. Creative Director at Red Storm Entertainment. “This game is particularly exciting because for the first time players will actually get to be a part of a Starfleet crew and work together to operate the ship as they face a variety of missions and challenges.”

“We’re always looking for new and compelling ways for fans to experience the Star Trek universe. This is the Star Trek game we’ve always wanted to make, but until now the technology didn’t exist,” said John Van Citters, Vice President of Product Development at CBS Consumer Products. “Working alongside Red Storm Entertainment, we’ve been able to bring to life a new ship, the U.S.S. Aegis, for fans to control as they take their turn in the captain’s chair and carry on Starfleet’s mission of exploration and truly bring the Star Trek experience to life.”

It’s up to players and their crew to chart the region, and to secure a peaceful Federation presence. The maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Aegis is theirs to command.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew marks the latest venture into virtual reality for Ubisoft, who believes in the strong potential of VR to redefine social gaming with a unique sense of reality. Keen to explore the opportunities of this emerging technology, Ubisoft recently announced the games Werewolves Within™ and Eagle Flight™, as well as a VR partnership with the film company, SpectreVision.

STUDIO WILDCARD REVEALS HUGE CONTENT UPDATES TODAY AT E3 2016

Introducing The Titanosaur, The Lush Redwood Forest Biome, And an Entirely New Way to Play With ARK: Primal Survival — You Are The Dinosaur!

Los Angeles, CA – June 13, 2016 – Studio Wildcard, the studio that never sleeps, announced today live at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016 (E3) three titanic content updates for its definitive online dinosaur survival experience, ARK: Survival Evolved. Speaking live from the 2016 PC Gaming Show, Studio Wildcard’s Co-Founder and Co-Creative Director Jesse Rapczak debuted the Titanosaur, the largest dinosaur in the ARK arsenal, the lush and soaring upcoming Redwood Forest biome, replete with tree-top villages, and showed off the second official community-created mod which will be integrated directly into the PC and Xbox versions of ARK, Primitive+, which challenges gamers to play with only organic (primarly wood and stone) materials.

Leaving the best for last, Rapczak unveiled the first-of-its-kind role reversal mode simply labeled ARK: Primal Survival, where ARK survivors will be able to play, live, and breed as any of the ARK’s creatures. Created in conjunction with developers Instinct Games and coming to PC and Xbox ARK later this year, Survivors will experience full survival mechanics and lifecycles, including mating, growing, recruiting more creatures to your ‘pack,’ even constructing primitive dens. Gamers will experience asymmetric gameplay against or with other specifics, including humans, as well as AI creatures. The new functionality associated with this Primal Survival mode will also enable mod creators to build much more intricate mods involving playing as these various creatures.

• Watch the ARK: Primal Survival mode trailer HERE: https://youtu.be/dha-P6U6lxY
• Watch the Primitive+ trailer HERE: https://youtu.be/NHdAebezB98

Run with the pack and see the world in dino-vision in the upcoming Primal Survival

The extremely rare Titanosaur (Titanosaurus Vagacastrum) is the largest creature found on ARK island, operating for many players as a mobile superfortress capable of ferrying obscene amounts of weight, structures, defenses and creatures upon its back. Essentially a walking mountain, this herbivore often crushes creatures and buildings within its path and takes issue with any creature invading his personal space.

The Redwood Forest is an all-new biome filled with lush, giant trees sturdy enough in which to build treehouses and villages. Harvest lumber from these gigantic arbors to create your fortress super high up in the air, providing a safer place to to build a village as well as providing height advantage for a superb tactical defense stance, or tap into the massive redwoods to extract their sap for healthy concoctions.

The second official mod, Primitive+, will launch in ARK: Survival Evolved on Thursday, July 28 for both PC and Xbox One players. Players are challenged to use primarily wood and stone without the benefit of advanced metals. A whole new set of items and detailed new mechanics focus the player on ‘primitive’ survival, which fits snugly in the world of ARK. Primitive+ will be playable as a functionality mod on all official ARK maps.

ARK: Survival Evolved will launch in 2016 on Xbox One via the ID@Xbox program, PlayStation^®4 with Project Morpheus support, and full release on Steam PC. The game is currently playable in Microsoft’s Game Preview on Xbox One and Steam’s Early Access program, which includes Oculus Rift VR support and an integration of Steam community features such as Steam Economy and Steam Workshop for custom maps and mods. Players can host private/LAN servers and have access to a custom-built version of the Unreal Engine 4 Editor for creating mods. The world of ARK is designed to be modder-friendly and ever-expanding!
