Ubisoft revealed the launch date, a new trailer, and the final box art for the highly anticipated tactical shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege today. The game will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows worldwide on October 13, 2015. Those who pre-order the game will be able to exclusive access to the closed beta to be held later in the year.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a team based shooter that will pit two teams of players against each other. Each match will consist of two halves, allowing each team to attempt to defend their hostages against the counter-terrorists by laying down a variety of defences and traps and to attempt to infiltrate the terrorist stronghold and rescue the hostages as Rainbow Six. The intensity is ratcheted up as each player has only a single life per round, forcing players to make careful
choices with every move.
Tripwire Interactive launched the sequel to their zombie slaughtering co-op FPS to Steam Early Access a few weeks ago. This episode of CC Impact! stars Killing Floor 2 in its most recent 1007 build. Senior Editor Jamie will introduce players new and old to the basics of the game, along with some of the new and changed features of the game. Just remember to stay away from the Fleshpounds and keep close to your medic.

Who hasn’t enjoyed TT Games‘ LEGO series of games yet? There have been so many of them, parodying and paying homage to such movies like the Harry Potter films, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings, and superheroes in the LEGO Batman and LEGO Marvel Superheroes games. Now, Warner Bros. Games has given their latest game a new trailer and release date!
Get ready for LEGO Jurassic World:
LEGO Jurassic World will be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Windows PC (Is that it? I think that’s it for now.) on June 12, 2015 (June 17, 2015 in Australia), same day as the release of the Jurassic World film.
It has been a little over two years since we first played Shiro Games’ adventure RPG, Evoland. Now today brings us the first trailer for its sequel, Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder.
Check out the trailer below:
“We are very excited to finally show our fans and new players alike what we’ve been working on for Evoland 2,as we’re expanding on our original vision in big way,” said Nicolas Cannasse, creator of Evoland. “Evoland 2 stays true to its classic RPG adventure roots but also offers a host of fantastic new additions, including more in-depth and longer play sessions that really add to the overall fun and leave a memorable experience.”
In Evoland 2, players are a hero who must save his world by understanding events throughout different timelines and alter them to save the future. Each event in time changes the landscape to different periods in video game history (8-bit side-scrolling platformers, top-down RPGs, 3D fighting games, 3D adventure games, etc.). It reminds me a bit of ATLUS’ 2010 game, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and I mean that in the best way possible!
Evoland 2:Â A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder is slated for release on Windows PC this summer, with Mac and Linux releases later this year. All who pre-order the game on Shiro Games’ website will receive a 10% discount along with a digital art book.
Take a look at a few screenshots of the game below:

Mark your calenders now as Yoshi‘s Woolly World is set to hit the Wii U along with its Amiibo kin on June 25th. Good Feel and Nintendo have been working on this Wii U gem for a good bit now, and have now released more information about the story, as well as what else you can expect such as the fact that there are over 50 levels to explore within the game.
Here are the details:
Once upon a time in Craft Island, a paradise located in the middle of Handmade Ocean, the peaceful lives of different-patterned Yoshis are rudely disrupted by the dastardly Kamek, who has kidnapped Yoshis by turning them into balls of yarn using his magic. Having escaped the surprise attack by this notorious villain, Yoshi must set out on an adventure spanning various Worlds, with beautiful landscapes ranging from lush woolly meadows to fluffy mountain peaks. And at the end of it all…well, Yoshi might encounter an even fiercer villain behind this pesky plot…
On this journey of discovery, Yoshi must Ground Pound, Flutter Jump, and gobble up woolly enemies, which can be turned into Yarn Balls – both big and small – to lob at obstacles and other enemies standing in Yoshi’s way. As a classic staple in the Yoshi platform series, Yoshi can also transform in certain levels, so don’t be surprised to encounter a fast-swimming Mermaid Yoshi, a quick-firing Sky Pop Yoshi aeroplane, and even a Moto Yoshi, where Yoshi turns into a high-speed motorbike.
But while Yoshi’s adventures will be action-packed, there is no time limit to finish each level, and if a level is getting particularly tough, you can switch the game to Mellow Mode at any point and play as Winged Yoshi. With the power of flight, Yoshi will find the action a little easier to manage! In addition, and in the spirit of two Yoshis being better than one, a co-operative feature allows one of your friends to join the platforming fun as a second Yoshi and play the entire adventure alongside you.
Keep a keen eye out for cool collectibles in Yoshi’s Woolly World, with Hearts to restore Yoshi’s life gauge, Stamp Patches that unlock stamps for Miiverse, and Smiley Flowers to increase the chances of unlocking a bonus game. Be sure to collect a horde of Beads, as these can be saved up to purchase Power Badges between levels, which when activated allow – for example – Yoshi to unleash powered-up Ground Pounds, or even be able to play alongside woolly canine companion Poochy. Meanwhile, for the full yarn-themed experience make a particular effort to hunt down Wonder Wools, as by finding all five in every level, watch as one of more than 50 uniquely-patterned Yoshis revives in front of your eyes! Best of all, you can then visit Yoshi Hut on Craft Island and choose to play as one of these many different-patterned Yoshis during your adventures.
This title sounds phenomenal from what we have learned thus far. You can check out the trailer for the game below and expect Yoshi’s Woolly World to hit the Wii U next month (along with a bundle that includes the green Yoshi Amiibo for just ten dollars more).
