It’s that time of the month again when the NPD group reveal the list of top selling games of the previous month, and shocking nobody, this month it’s topped by Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II. This list, which covers US sales only, looks at both physical and digital sales on PC and

This weekend, Ubisoft will be reveling a lot of new stuff about its ongoing projects and unannounced titles. In order to celebrate the upcoming event, the company is offering over two weeks of free trial Uplay+ subscription for PC gamers. Originally announced during Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference, Uplay+ is a subscription service similar to
In recent years, game companies have been trying their best to implement the best accessibility practices for video games. One studio that always impresses me is Ubisoft, which seems to strive to improve accessibility features in its games, title-after-title. As part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2020, I had the opportunity to jump into a
In a report from Gamesindustry.biz, Ubisoft will be making the Discovery Tour modes in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey and Origins free for one week on Uplay. The Discovery Tours will be available for free from May 15 to the 21st as a part of Ubisoft’s Play Your Part, Play at Home campaign. “With millions of children experiencing
The Assassin’s Creed franchise has had a rollercoaster history of development and direction. When the first game released in 2007, it gave me a fresh perspective of creativity that I haven’t really experienced in another AAA franchise since. From the beginning, the stealth action-adventure series has delved into different important eras of history through simulation.
As it approaches its fifteenth anniversary, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been just about all over the place. From Renaissance Italy, to Ancient Greece, and even the American Revolution, the Assassin’s Creed saga has taken us on many different adventures all of varying quality. Now, with Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla set to come out later this year on current
Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is getting a free weekend for a limited period of time, allowing players to jump on, try the game, and consider grabbing it to own.

Torment of Hades is part two of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Fate of Atlantis campaign. Where part one took you to the beautiful, lush Fields of Elysium, part two takes you to the Underworld to face off against Hades and his monstrous pet dog Cerberos. In a relatively lengthy gameplay trailer, Ubisoft showed off everything players can
Personally, when I think about Assassin’s Creed, I get nostalgic and think about my favorite games in the series. There’s a debate about Assassin’s Creed not being what it used to be and in a sense that’s true. The series has changed a lot since the first self-titled game made its debut on November 13,
“Do you wish to become a God?” the new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey‘s second DLC “The Fate of Atlantis” asks. That question appears to shape the DLC’s narrative as developer Ubisoft is looking to dig deep into Greek mythology for this release. Check out the trailer below. The scope shown in the footage looks
As the latest entry in the long-running series, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey earned high marks when it released back in October for bringing players into the biggest, most expansive, and detailed world that the series has ever seen yet. If you haven’t been able to get enough of your time in Ancient Greece, don’t worry: you’ll be
As one of the most acclaimed games of last year, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey gave players of the series an expanded world full of player choice and decision, including giving the option for players to have romantic relationships over the course of the game. However, after recent scrutiny regarding some of that choice having been taken away
Update 01/17/2019 While the backlash for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Legacy of the First Blade DLC continued, a public statement went up yesterday on the game’s forums and also on Reddit. The statement was made by Creative Director Jonathan Dumont and you can read it below. “Reading through player responses of our new DLC for Legacy of
There’s something about cosplayers that draws a captive audience. It’s probably the image of seeing your favorite character in a video game you love brought to life and the sheer passion, sweat, and determination ( let’s not forget money here, too ) that person has put into looking like someone else, either through a hobby
As you may recall, Ubisoft teased a For Honor announcement yesterday that was related to the popular Assassin’s Creed series. Today, Ubisoft Montreal pulled back the curtain to reveal that For Honor and Assassin’s Creed will, in fact, be crossing over in a new event. Aptly titled For the Creed, this event runs from today
As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year.

This expansion will be released episodically instead of all at once, spanning three episodes that will release every six weeks from December to Spring 2019 when the next major expansion,
Being deaf, I’ve often made jokes about bad subtitles that are too small to read. Just in the past few years we’ve seen a few examples of how games have stumbled when it comes to implementing proper subtitles, such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus with its tiny subtitles that blend, or walls of text in Fallout 4.
Ubisoft released a new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey today that highlights the photo mode from the game as well as what the community has captured with it during their time in Ancient Greece.

The new system allows players to choose what their
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has been available for a month now, but Ubisoft is far from done with supporting the massive open-world action RPG. In a new video today, developers from the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey team detailed the slew of new content that will be making its way into the game over the course of this month. For starters,
Like everyone else in the world, I’ve been playing Rockstar’s newest game, Red Dead Redemption 2. Only after playing for roughly 10 hours, I can tell this is a very special game. It’s a cliché to say it, but it truly is one of the most immersive and impressive games I have ever played. So, why
Bayek, the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Origins, is now available to be unlocked and recruited in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey thanks to the Ubisoft Club.

Today Ubisoft reached out with a press release to announce some rather positive results for the recently-released Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. According to the publisher’s internal estimate, the game enjoyed the best launch-week sales performance for the franchise in this whole console generation. Ubisoft Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Geoffroy Sardin accompanied the press release
Marvel’s Spider-Man, No Man’s Sky, God of War: these three games have more in common than just their three-word titles. They have fantastic photo modes and they aren’t the only ones. 2018 has been possibly the best year for taking pictures in your favorite games: whether you’re trying to convey the heavy emotions of the moment,
Looks like Ubisoft really likes its videos starring Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s male protagonist Alexios, and they released another. This time around we hear about the stoic hero’s love life, favorite music, and more. He even pulls a quote from the old and glorious (and really cheesy) Conan the Barbarian movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Are you
We’re only a day away from the release of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and Ubisoft just released a new trailer. The trailer is rather brief, and titled “Defy Fate.” It doesn’t really take a genius to catch the message here, but it’s deeply rooted in the origin story of Alexios and Kassandra. You can enjoy the
