While Skull & Bones was finally due to release in November 2022, Ubisoft eventually pulled the plug, delaying the game once again. The new plan was to have the game released ‘early' in Ubisoft's current fiscal year, but as it turns out, the game was quietly pushed back further.  The …

While Assassin's Creed Mirage was initially expected to release in early 2023, the game has been delayed. Now, according to an Ubisoft leaker with a pretty good track record of accuracy, Ubisoft has pushed Mirage back a bit further from the Summer months to Q4.  According to YouTuber J0nathan, who …

Ubisoft had a pretty quiet 2022 and so far, 2023 hasn't brought through any new game releases from the publisher. However, things should quickly begin turning around in the second half of the year, as Ubisoft claims to have a pretty packed release schedule for the next fiscal year, which …

Nearly 3 years after the game debuted on the Epic Games Store as well as Ubisoft Connect in July 2020, the free-to-play Trackmania reboot (known simply as ‘Trackmania’) dropped onto Steam back in February of this year. Now, the title is making its way to consoles (and Amazon Luna), with …

Ubisoft+ has launched on Xbox today, but not quite in the way we expected.

Ubisoft confirmed plans to bring its Ubisoft+ subscription service to Xbox consoles a long time ago and progress has been very slow. Last week, a prominent Xbox reporter claimed that the service would be heading to Xbox ‘imminently' and now, we have some evidence to back that claim up.  Ubisoft's …

All the way back in January 2022 it was announced that Ubisoft+ would be coming to Microsoft’s Xbox consoles – following the service’s inclusion as part of PS+ Extra. Since then, we have heard little in the way of official updates, though one industry insider is now claiming that the …

Ubisoft has struggled in recent years, with very few high points in its release schedule outside of Assassin's Creed.

The Division 1 & 2 didn't end up being the massive live-service success stories that Ubisoft was hoping for, but the franchise still has a good amount of fans and there are many that enjoyed both games. While there are Division spin-offs in the works at Ubisoft, the publisher apparently …

While Ubisoft is more than willing to kill off less-than-successful live service titles, the ones that do succeed tend to receive MANY years of updates. One such title is The Division 2. Released in 2019, the game is set to soon get its 11th season however due to a new …
