Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference delivered the goods. Beyond Good & Evil 2 is back, and it’s… really different. There’s no sign of Jade and Pey’j but the internet didn’t let that curb their enthusiasm for the long-awaited sequel (or now prequel), with a veritable explosion of excitement for the project emerging on Twitter. ?June 12, 2017>Beyond Good and Evil sequel!>SIKE, IT’S A PREQUEL BEFORE JADE EVEN BORN GALAXIES AWAYVIVENDIBUY UBISOFT OUT ALREADYI’VE HAD ITJune 12, 2017And some mistakes w

Ubisoft stuck to tradition with its E3 2017 press conference this year, revealing a new IP that stole the show with its brilliance. Skull and Bones is a tactical action game, which doubles down on the compelling naval compete previously seen in titles from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise. Recognizable elements from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, such as the battering rams, were on show, but players must now take account of new dynamic factors such as wind or, yes, deep sea monsters like Kr

Assassin’s Creed’s yearly entries were admirable, but by Unity it was clear that the formula had gotten a bit stale. The series took a year off to collect its bearings, and the result is the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Origins, and the Egyptian setting isn’t the only thing that’s different this time around. Our own Louise Blain got an extended hands-on look at the game at E3 this year, and from the sounds of the video above, it sounds like everything you thought you knew about Assassin’s Creed has

Assassin’s Creed is different now. There are quests instead of a map filled with icon vomit. Hell, there aren’t even towers anymore, allowing for a far more open and fluid gameplay experience. And we got a chance to play Assassin’s Creed Origins on Xbox One X in 4K. Make sure you check out our full E3 2017 schedule to stay tuned for all the details as they arrive, and check out our roundup of all the E3 2017 trailers.

If you were one of the many people who wished you could play a whole game of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag with just the pirate parts, Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference had your answer: Skull and Bones. That said, Skull & Bones has my attention. #E32017 #UbiE3June 12, 2017Feelings were mixed about Skull and Bones’ multiplayer focusPlease let this soggy nutmeg have a single-player mode.

Every time I thought Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 presentation had revealed all the motor vehicles I knew existed, another one appeared: cars, rally bikes, planes, boats, helicopters. At one point, there were even hot air balloons in the background, although I’m not sure that a) you can race a balloon or b) they even count as motor vehicles. If it goes fast and has fuel in it, then it’s almost certainly in The Crew 2. Boats will race on tumultuous seas, vicious rapids, and narrow rivers. The Crew 2 is o

Ubisoft unveiled an new take on the “toys to life” genre at E3 2017, and its name is “Starlink: Battle for Atlas.” Think of it as a shoot-em-up spaceflight game with the aesthetic of Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky, but with more story and bad guys to shoot. And, of course, the added collection aspect via the toys you can sync up with the game to unlock additional ships. Starlink will be coming out for Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch – but if I’m being honest, I think it’s a natural fit for Nintend

At today’s Ubisoft E3 2017 conference, the publisher announced Transference, a new virtual reality game made in collaboration with SpectreVision, actor Elijah Wood’s own studio. Aiming to “bridge the gap between movies and games”, Transference is a psychological thriller wherein you’ll get to explore the digitally-recreated memories of another person… and possibly influence their fate. SpectreVision’s head of development, Daniel Noah, said in the brief teaser that the VR game will make the pla

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle art and details leaked a few weeks back, but there’s a huge difference between perusing a piece of art, and actually watching this game – featuring turn-based tactical strategy that looks like Mario XCOM – in motion. Miyamoto said he gave Ubisoft a directive when they agreed to partner together on Mario + Rabbids: “Try to make a Mario game that has never been made before.” A producer from Ubisoft Paris, Xavier Manzanares (hell of a name) took the stage to show off

South Park fans have loved Timmy ever since he first appeared in the long, long ago of the year 2000. But E3 2017 showed us a new side of Timmy, as he used his powers of telepathy to speak to Cartman in a new trailer for South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Of course, it might’ve just been Cartman imagining Timmy psychically speaking to him because they’re playing superheroes and… look, just go with it, because it’s really funny. South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be out October 17. Make

Following the ace news that Ultimate Team legends are coming to PS4 for the first time in FIFA 18, publisher EA Sports has revealed the names of four past greats who’ll be playable: Pele, Diego Maradona, Lev Yashin, and Thierry Henry. It takes the number of legends – or Icons, as they’re now known – confirmed for this year’s game to five, with Brazilian favourite Ronaldo announced last week. In previous years these classic players were exclusive to the Xbox version, but from FIFA 18 onwards they

Middle-earth: Shadow of War will once again star Talion and Celebrimbor, but its first DLC will let you take control of a new character with an interesting tie to the established lore: The Blade of Galadriel, an assassin sent to Mordor by the eponymous elven lady to hunt down the Nazgul and anyone corrupted by the rings of power. We first met her in a new cinematic video released last week, but now you can get to know her a bit better thanks to a new cinematic debuted at the PC Gaming Show. Sinc

After the scattered, restless previous episode , Twin Peaks slows down again and focuses on just a handful of storylines—and is all the better for it. It’s the strongest episode since that incredible two-part premiere, and it feels like the story is really picking up momentum now. Mark Frost’s book The Secret History of Twin Peaks is worth reading to find out how the Nez Perce tie into the series’ mythology. After a slightly muddled hour last week, Twin Peaks has hit its stride again. The reveal

With The Crown’s John Lithgow fresh in the mind and Gary Oldman’s Darkest Hour due later this year, our screens are hardly bereft of Winston Churchills at the moment. The burly Scot puffs a mean cigar too in a selective biopic from Jonathan Teplitzky (The Railway Man) that focuses exclusively on the build-up to D-Day in June 1944. If you’re after epic battle sequences, best hold out for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. But if you’re in the mood for a thoughtful character study, then Churchill certai

Tucked away behind all the Nazi-punching, dragon-slaying action of Bethesda’s E3 2017 press conference, the publisher announced a new initiative designed to replace and resolve the paid mods scheme which its games have flirted with in the past. Creation Club will be launching in Summer this year, and gives players access to new modifications in Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition, as designed by both Bethesda Game Studios and a cadre of external development partners. They’re available on PC, P

Judging by its mad-as-hell reveal trailer, and the smattering of in-game footage I’ve seen, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus looks like a ‘good game’. No, it looks like a brilliant game, and one of the most exciting reveals of E3 2017. Everything else in the game is designed to feed into this fundamental philosophy, and enhance it in satisfying ways. You’ll laugh, you’ll die, you’ll get frustrated, you’ll win major victories, you’ll want to smash through every one of its comically evil foes. Wolf

The penultimate episode of American Gods focuses on its two most interesting characters – Laura Moon and Mad Sweeney – as they continue their journey towards Shadow/Mr Wednesday/Laura’s resurrection. In fact, I’d say the only bad thing about A Prayer for Mad Sweeney is that it reminds you how much Shadow, the supposedly main character of the show, is boring as hell. The answer may lie in Mad Sweeney who also had a part to play in Essie’s life. Mad Sweeney makes a grab for the coin and starts to

Game of Thrones loves a good, bloody death – there’s bound to be plenty heading our way in Game of Thrones season 7 – but one was originally a lot more horrific than the bitter pill we had to swallow when watching the Game of Thrones season 5 finale. It involves brains and bananas (obviously). Myrcella Lannister was almost the forgotten Lannister in Game of Thrones in a lot of ways. It was very nearly much, much worse, as actress Nell Tiger Free revealed (via Watchers on the Wall). Read More The
