As it happens, having a select group of designers and producers in a France deciding your multi-national publisher’s every move results in a bunch of games that may feel a little too familiar. In an attempt to fix an arguably tired formula of sneakin’, climbin’ and stabbin’, Ubisoft are revamping their editorial team to give their catalogue a shake-up. According to a report by Video Games Chronicle, a poor 2019 has led Ubisoft to rethink how they handle their catalogue of open-world romps....

For PC folks the service isn’t changing much from what you might’ve been used to with UPlay+. It costs £13/$15, you’ll have access to a library of loads of Ubi games, and be able to play upcoming new stuff like Watch Dogs: Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising. They say getting one Ubisoft+ subscription will allow you to use it across both Luna and Stadia, too. You won’t need to spend any money on either cloud gaming service separately from that to be able to use Ubisoft+ either....

Below we’ve put together a quick explainer on how you can get involved in the action. How to download and install Valorant First things first, you’ll need to register for a Riot account. If you’ve clicked on the link and you’re worried it’s showing something to do with League of Legends, don’t worry.

Ascent callouts & map walkthrough Below is a map of Ascent annotated with every single callout that a Valorant player should know. These callouts will help you to communicate quickly and effectively with your teammates.

Truthfully, I don’t play old Salty, I’m the Vermintide friend who dibsed Kerillian and I’m afraid if I ever switch off of her my pals will steal her away from me. I’m very into Saltzpyre’s new look here though, perhaps it’s time to let the elf lady go. The Warrior Priest is the fourth class (or career) for Saltzpyre, and comes with a new skill tree, abilities, weapon combos, and the aforementioned outfit....

This means that I had already seen the harrowing tale of Aloy’s early childhood as told in cutscenes, so when they started up again I immediately skipped them because I couldn’t be arsed sitting through them again.

When will Warzone release for Call of Duty Cold War? We know that Warzone is coming to Black Ops Cold War, albeit not at launch. No, you’ll have to wait until December for Warzone.

But that was just the start of the journey - and the deeper we went into this place, the weirder it got. Below is a selection of photographs from the second part of my account of the expedition, annotated with my field notes. But before we set out, a warning: last time, I promised that you were gonna see a train’s arse in this post - and if you thought I was kidding, you’re in for a bleak surprise....

The first of these quadrants, titled Fight Or Flight, began this January, and the last part of it, Loyalty to Lowsec, goes live today. But what is a Loyalty To Lowsec? I sat down at a polite distance with Scott Rhodes and Joshua Bayer, Producer and Senior Games Designer respectively, to find out. Bayer tells me that the Loyalty To Lowsec update will primarily bring improvements to factional warfare, one of the main features players engage with in low security space, and one that the playerbase has requested changes to for some time....

Yes, last night’s trailer is doing the influencer reaction vid thing. But it’s also our first proper look at Heart Of The Forest, following a vague announcement earlier this year that can only be described as “a hoot”. What we’ve got, then, is a narrative roleplaying game - a supernatural mystery set in the deepest, darkest forests of Poland. Main character Maia comes with a sheet full of stats, each of which will rise and fall as you untangle a text-based story concerning her family’s “dark secrets” and pore through the secrets of Europe’s “last great wilderness”....

What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on! But you, dearest reader, what are you playing? This bank holiday weekend I am going to try and not play games, as it happens, and catch up on the analogue pastime that is reading.

Alice Bee The 6k jigsaw I’m doing in Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams continues apace. I usually manage to make two connections in every lunchtime session but one time this week I managed four. I’m feeling good about putting some time in at the weekend. Alice0 Of all the games to play first on a shiny new PC, somehow I’ve ended up on… Watch Dogs 2? Maybe having a window in my computer (not by choice) to watch my GeForce’s LEDs rotate through the colours of the rainbow (not my choice) gave me an urge to HACK THE PLANET....
