When Ubisoft announced Beyond Good and Evil 2 at its E3 press conference, people were understandably excited. They were also understandably tempered in their expectations that this would launch anytime soon. No release window was atta...   read

Ubisoft's new pirate game, Skull & Bones, is a recycled idea. No one has delusions that it's wholly original, because its source material is so obvious. Ubisoft is borrowing from itself here, but not in a way that feels uninspired. Rath...   read

Last September, I hit rock bottom as a games writer. Against my better judgment, I let Ubisoft strap a fart machine to my face for a demo of South Park: The Fractured but Whole. Bad call. Terrible. Just awful, really. Deals are not my art f...   read

Ubisoft is doing some genuinely cool, surprising things with The Crew 2. As someone who dug the heck out of the flawed but rewarding free-form original, I couldn't be more pleased. For instance: that world-bending Inception shit from the ci...   read

"Have you played Far Cry before?" That was the first thing a Ubisoft rep asked me behind closed doors as I picked up a controller, selected a gun-fetching dog as my companion, and waited to load into Hope County, Montana. "Most of them," I ...   read

A year in hiding seems to have done wonders for Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft stepping away from its flagship franchise was unexpected, but that time away has Assassin's Creed: Origins feeling like a game that's familiar but still different eno...   read

Once again the Destructoid community has decided. We polled all of you at the close of every conference (there were seven this year!), and you voted based on your gut. Now is the time to take a look at the results. The two "most hated" conf...   read

Ubisoft still isn't telling us everything about Beyond Good & Evil 2. Based on the Space Monkey Program site (which is all sorts of borked), it's expected to come to PC, PS4, and Xbox One -- but famed Ubisoft developed Michel Ancel says...   read

Some folks don't mind the Rabbids and, in fact, actually enjoy the hyperactive goofballs. That's not me. Not in this life! I'd rather they do their thing, and I do mine. But I'll be damned if Ubisoft hasn't come up with something compelling...   read

E3 is going to be a bit different this year. With a few big companies winding down their presence, the ESA is winding up their attendance numbers with public entry. But unlike (the bigger) Tokyo Game Show that has press and public days...   read

Last year, Ubisoft's press conference was interminable. It was seven hundred hours long with absolutely no games. Steep, a tech demo for extreme sports, was the highlight, second only to it ending. It happens. Sometimes you don't have anyt...   read

Ubisoft had two real surprises at this year's E3 press conference. The first is that Mario + Rabbids is an XCOM-like turn-based tactical game. The second is that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is actually getting made. A cool surprise o...   read

What do you do when you need to inject your conference with more joy? Call Nintendo. Ubisoft led their show today with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and it kind of set the tone. From there we got more footage of known stuff like...   read

How do you expand on Steep? You go to the Olympics! Step off, Mario and Sonic. The open-ended snowboarding and skiing title gets its first expansion, Road to the Olympics, on December 5 ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics. I couldn't get int...   read

You can have a dog in Far Cry 5. His name is boomer and he looks to be some kind of cattle dog. What a good, white-nationalist-cult-killing boy! Far Cry 5's Dan Hay also got a big round of applause for saying "fucking." That's kind of appr...   read

I really can't believe it. The absolutely gorgeous looking prequel to the fan favorite Beyond Good and Evil, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is set before the birth of Jade and apparently "will amaze all the gamers." There's no release date as of y...   read

Ubisoft Toronto is at the helm of the publisher's new toys-to-life title. It's a space game called Starlink: Battle for Atlas, where you travel to a bunch of unique planets. That is why the Dtoid E3 War Room immediately dubbed this No Man'...   read

In a dance move that everyone expected, Ubisoft busts out their new Just Dance 2018 announcement with some Tron-esque Mortal Kombat dancers. Their E3 presentation also featured short snippet of "Bubble Pop", a K-pop song from Kore...   read

Ubisoft had two South Park announcements for us today. In addition to Fractured But Whole footage we also got word that Phone Destroyer," a new mobile game is on the way. It's set to hit the scene this year, and will deal with typ...   read

Announced during Ubisoft's E3 conference is Transference, a game we didn't see much of but I'm pretty into it. With a concept trailer outlining its Get Out, Black Mirror-esque premise of changing lives and generally just changing your enti...   read

While Assassin's Creed moves on to Egypt, the Black Flag strain of Ubisoft -- Ubisoft Singapore -- is returning to piracy with a new series set in 1721, Skull and Bones. The debut trailer featured something close to that ridiculous Pirates...   read

The eternally delayed South Park: The Fractured But Whole is not getting cancelled! Many fans thought that Ubisoft may have canned the game after various delays, but this seemingly final trailer confirms the October 17 release date. That is...   read

Among my game-playing friends, I feel like the only one who stuck with The Crew long enough to fall in love with it. The story was slow-going and the cars didn't handle quite right until you grinded up your stats, but the potential was ther...   read

It's only officially two days revealed, but Ubisoft just gave us our second look at Assassin's Creed: Origins.  This one was wildly different than what we saw yesterday. During Xbox's press conference, we got gameplay. We got the stab...   read

Ubisoft's worst kept secret was revealed today, and we found out that Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a nice looking, simplified version of X-com. We also found out that the title will have NFC (Near-Field Communication) support for to...   read
