The ‘Freedom Cry DLC’ has been dated for release come December 17, 2013. While it’s expected to launch simultaneously across the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 platforms, a Wii U and PC release may be somewhat delayed. Taking the player away from Black Flag’s hero Edward Kenway, and dropping him into the boots of his trusted right-hand-man Adewale, fifteen years after the game’s opening. A runaway slave who found a mission and calling aboard Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw, Adewales find himself drawn into a story of survival and slavery - and the perfect chance to put his own training as an Assassin to use....

The developers at Ubisoft were quick to explain that they were just as interested in bringing a cooperative experience to the AC series as fans, but the addition presented some serious questions. The need to redesign all of the game’s systems to fully support online play was a start, but redesigning the game from the ground up was needed for singleplayer as well. The real question was how to integrate co-op into the larger Unity experience and story....

Though initially anonymous, 22-year-old Maggie Nichols’ name was publicly revealed in early 2018, when dozens of women came forward with their own stories of abuse at the hands of the doctor, who is now serving a 175-year prison sentence. In January 2018, Nichols released a statement via her attorney saying: “Recently, three of my friends and former National Team members who medaled at the 2012 Olympics have bravely stepped forward to proclaim they were sexually assaulted by USA Gymnastics Team Physician Dr....

Gerardo Parra, the Nationals backup outfielder who used the annoying/catchy children’s tune as his walk-up song last season and created a phenomenon at Nationals Park, is headed to Japan to play for the Yomiuri Giants of the Nippon Professional Baseball league, according to ESPN. Parra, who was a free agent, will make $2 million this season plus a $500,000 bonus, a source told The Washington Post. The deal also has a $3 million vesting option for 2021, the Post reported....

The only drama Godwin and Barbour faced was at the start of season 6, when Godwin explored a few other relationships. The noteworthy connection was between Godwin and Blake Horstmann, who kissed a week before Paradise began filming. Horstmann apparently flew to Alabama to meet Godwin and tell her he’d like to get to know her on the show. Because of her prior connection with Horstmann, Godwin wanted to see it through....

Despite still being developed by the Respawn team that made the game’s original versions, studio director Chad Grenier describes Apex Legends Mobile as “specially designed for mobile devices, with streamlined controls for touchscreens and thoughtful optimizations that result in the most advanced battle royale combat available on a phone. It’s a new version of Apex Legends but remains true to the original game.” In other words, with Apex Legends Mobile, Respawn won’t be taking cue from its colleagues at Epic Games, offering complete synchronicity and crossplay across all versions of Fortnite....

Packages of apps, such as Apple Music and Apple TV+, are expected to be offered at a lower amount than it would cost to buy separately. Reports suggest that bundles will be formally announced in October alongside the firm’s new 5G-enabled iPhones. Rumors about the new subscription offers have swirled online in recent months, and it is still unclear if they will even be mentioned during the September 15 press event....

Wintreburn, 53, played for both London sides, joining the Hammers to close out his career after racking up over 400 league appearances for the Gunners. With rumours circling around the future of Walcott after the club splashed out a fee understood to be in the region of £46 million for Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette, the former full-back believes it would be good for Walcott to make a similar move between the clubs....

In a video posted by Cricket Australia, most of them picked Ryan Harris’ delivery that dismissed Alastair Cook at the WACA in Perth in the 2013 series. With Australia 10 wickets away from reclaiming the Ashes, fast bowler Harris came up with a gem. A ball that was initially swinging back in, hit a crack and moved away from the left-handed Cook’s bat to clip the top of off-stump....

While Connor wasn’t exactly the most compelling character seen in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, there were still elements worth exploring in a future experience — be it an additional game, a novelization, or film. Unfortunately, the mostly negative reaction to Connor as a character, especially when compared to Ezio Auditore di Firenze, seems to have turned Ubisoft off to the idea. When asking about a Connor epilogue, one Reddit user cited the live-action film Embers, which provided a conclusion to Ezio’s story, as one way Ubisoft could do it....

[HTML1] Plenty of buzz is predictably being generated by Assassin’s Creed 3, and its potentially political commentary on the early formation of the United States. Not to be lost in the shuffle, a new extended trailer has been released for Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation, the Vita handheld set to take on controversy of a whole different type. The first playable female Assassin, Aveline once again stars in the Liberation footage, making her way through - and over - the city of New Orleans ca....

The Wii U’s nontraditional controller has been a source of controversy since it’s debut at E3 2011 - and while gamers, not to mention industry analysts, are skeptical of what we’ll actually get when the Wii U launches later this year, Ubisoft has been hard at work figuring out ways to implement Wii U features into their multi-platform Assassin’s Creed 3 offerings. The Wii U controller is not poised to win many awards for ergonomic design or comfort, the tech is positioned to add an additional layer of feature opportunities for modern console games....

[HTML1] With Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Ubisoft is pushing their popular annual franchise to its limits. More specifically, they are taking the traditional open world mechanics gamers have come to know and love in Assassin’s Creed, and seamlessly blending them together. To illustrate that point, Ubisoft has released a new 13-minute gameplay trailer for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag that showcases some of the varied experiences gamers will be able to enjoy in the game....

[HTML1] Nothing helps set the stage for an Assassin’s Creed game like a widespread revolt against an unjust, corrupt oppressor. And for Assassin’s Creed Unity, Ubisoft is turning to a historical uprising of particular importance to the French publisher. With an adventure resting on the shoulders of Arno Dorian, promising to explore never-before-seen aspects of the French Revolution, the latest gameplay trailer confirms that the French people’s thirst for democracy will be fitting in quite well with the historical fiction of previous games....

Ubisoft Montreal, the studio responsible for creating Unity, has been hard at work updating the game and providing fixes. In fact, Patch 3 released today, bringing several updates to stability and performance, gameplay, AI and crowd animations, matchmaking and connectivity, mission tweaks and updates to the menu and HUD. And announced their plans to help soften the blow to those left with broken game experiences. Yannis Mallat – CEO of Ubisoft Montreal & Toronto – acknowledged the launch issues today in a post on the game’s official website....

It won’t be long before Assassin’s Creed Unity takes its place in Ubisoft’s flagship franchise, ushering the series into not just a historical setting long requested by fans, but a new generation of home consoles as well. With little of the finished game still unexplored (beyond the story twists and turns the developers would prefer come as a surprise), the newest trailer focuses on the talent behind the game’s characters - while providing a few more details about the core cast, and the occasional glance at new gameplay footage....

Game Rant’s Curt Hutson reviews Asura’s Wrath Asura’s Wrath is unlike anything gamers have seen before. Whether they enjoy the game is a matter of personal taste, as it brings in a style of gaming that some will find brilliant and others might find irksome - but regardless of whether they like it or not, most will agree it is a very different animal. However, Asura’s Wrath is so well executed and so fun that gamers won’t likely notice that it is more like an interactive anime experience - as opposed to an actual game....
