All’s well that ends well Ubisoft and Patrice Désilets have kissed and made up. Or at least buried the hatchet. Today, theAssassin’s Creedcreator announced plans to withdraw legal action against Ubisoft after reaching an agreement with the publisher that will give him the rights to1666 Amsterdam. “I’m glad Ubisoft and I were able to come to an agreement that will allow me to obtain the rights to project1666 Amsterdam,” Désilets said in a statement....

Bleh Batman: Arkham Knight‘s Season Pass just kept getting worse and worse. Outside of theokayBatgirlDLC, there was a series of useless costumes, Batmobile skins, and really, really bad mission packs (Harley Quinn,Red Hood,Robin and Catwoman). Sure there’s still a challenge pack that’s coming in January, but for all intents and purposes, the pass is done today withSeason of Infamy, the last real DLC. If big bags of money have anything to say about it WB isn’t done with this franchise just yet, and I assume that if its next big superhero series doesn’t do well, it can always go back to good ol’ Bruce....

I confess, fighting games aren’t really my specialty. I’m only passably good at them — that’s to say, better than many people, but I eat dirt against practiced gamers. I do play a lot ofSoul Calibur, though. My hands get automatic and I zone out — just like during those awkward afternoons in high school. And I’m sure this is because I play too many hentai games, but add to that the combo of scantily-clad, passionate fighters and a loose clapboard storyline as an excuse for action, and before you know it, my mind’s wandering....

Coincidentally coinciding withOverwatch‘s launch this week (with a $40 base price on PC), 2K Games has announced thatBattlebornhas been discounted by $20 through Saturday, which includes the “Digital Deluxe Edition” (read: the Season Pass).Alani, the first Season Pass character, is available today for PS4 beta players and pass holders (she’s out on May 31 for everyone else)....

Surprise surprise, it doesn’t look very deep Capcom is bringingUltra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengersto Nintendo Switch and it’ll surely draw in some players simply as an early game for the system with nostalgia and multiplayer also going for it. One of the title’s most curious features is an eyebrow-raising bonus mode, “Way of the Hado,” in which you duke it out as Ryu from a first-person perspective. What’s up with that?...

It’s quite handy to know what we’re looking at going into E3 and the rest of the year. you may ignore the stuff already released, which puts us on this little block of ‘to be announced’ titles. As always, Japan’s list is longer and more exciting than ours....

Well, Fargo “How about this stretch goal?” famed video game designer Brian Fargo asks onTwitter. Most crowdfunding ventures incentivize by upping development efforts — new modes, console ports, that sort of thing. Fargo’s going to try to buy the studio he co-founded in the early ’80s. Fargo says that he’ll try to purchase Interplay ifThe Bard’s Tale IVsells two million PC copies in its first 18 months on the market.The Bard’s Tale IVhas already beensuccessfully crowdfundedto the tune of $1....

More than a month after consoles There was concern that the PC release ofDark Souls IIwould arrivelong afterthe game hits Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on July 05, 2025. While the PC date isn’t as bad as some had feared, it’s by no means right around the corner, either: June 10, 2025. As much as it would be nice to play the game at a higher resolution with better frame rates the first time around, I absolutely do not trust myself to hold out until late April....
