Ubisoft’s Alexandre Amancio, Creative Director for Assassin’s Creed Unity, sat down to walk players through Paris in a new trailer. Amancio shows off the many districts of Paris and the varied side quests that will be available to players.
Ubisoft Montreal boasts about the extra attention paid to Assassin’s Creed Unity, highlighting the greater variety compared to previous titles. Instead of just assassination missions, players will be able to experience a running side plot and multiple approaches to these missions. Additionally, murder mysteries make their debut to the series, challenging Arno’s observation and critical thinking skills.
Assassin’s Creed Unitywill be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on November 11th, 2014 in North America and November 13th in PAL regions.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse now has an official release date for the Europe and Oceania regions. As we predicted the release date is not far behind the Japanese February 5th release date and will be available just over a week later on February the 13th. That is all versions except the PC Steam release which will be releasing on the 17th. An official U.S. release date has yet to be announced but we will imagine it will be similar once again.
That’s not all that was announced as we also got word on a collectors edition as well as some preorder bonuses. The “Trunks’ Travel Edition which is for consoles only will feature a very authentic looking Master Stars figure standing at 25 cm tall with exclusive colouring (although the colouring looks pretty normal to me). You can click on both images to get a closer look at their contents.
Finally, pre-order bonuses were announced and they are pretty sweet. Pre-ordering will get you:
• An amazing Shenron Black Metalcase
• Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta as a Playable Character
• 2 exclusive Freeza Soldier’s Battle Suites to customize your avatars.
The site says these are the only way to get these bonuses and that they will not be available later. A slightly extended trailer has been released by Bandai Namco to showcase these latest details. You can watch it below. Let us know in the comment’s if you have been swayed to get the collectors edition, pre-order or even both. I will probably be pre-ordering the Trunks edition if the price is right as that Trunks figure looks pretty sweet.
UPDATE: Some new screenshots have been released showcasing the new outfits and some other newly announced items like Super Saiyan 4 Goku. They also confirm Kid Trunks, Goten, Android 18 and Hercule/Mr. Satan as playable characters alongside world tournament mode. These screenshots are below for your viewing pleasure.
The first trailer for the second installment in the Avengers trilogy was supposed to be aired during an episode of Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D in the U.S. but the video has been leaked nearly a week early much to the delight of Marvel fans worldwide. The HD trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron (which you can watch below) showcases our favourite heroes in what looks to be a very dire situation as the evil Ultron (brilliantly voiced by James Spader) delivers a monologue about changing the world and being free from strings. We get a small glimpse of Ultron at the end and he looks to be one metallic bad ass.
Marvel was pretty lighthearted about the leak, taking to Twitter to express their frustration with a simple “Dammit Hydra!” While the original leaked video had decent footage quality, Marvel decided to release the official HD trailer below which leaves many questions unanswered such as how Ultron comes to be, why is their infighting among The Avengers again and how did Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from The Winter Solider after credits scene break free of their prison? Let us know your theories and/or questions in the comments below.
Today Ubisoft has announced that they will be starting some special “rites of passage” that will be interactive films that are released weekly on Far Cry 4‘s official website. In each of these rites players will only have a few seconds to make a decision to get out of an extreme situation with their decision resulting in numerous events that they must survive through.
There are forty two million different routes that can be generated by this system so players will have quite a unique experience to look forward to. To help provide players a bit of extra motivation, completing these rites will unlock special equipment in Far Cry 4 through the UPlay system.
To tease some of these rites Ubisoft released a teaser trailer that you can check out below. As for the rites that will be released, there will be four in total and they are as follows:

It seems that there may even be monsters as this latest trailer warns players to be careful.
