In fact, Ubisoft announced today that Assassin’s Creed 3 is the most pre-ordered game in the company’s history, more than doubling those of last year’s Revelations. At this point, the outlook for the series couldn’t be any brighter.It’s not completely surprising that AC3 has earned a larger groundswell of support and excitement than previous games, given its setting and story. Relying on a patriotic, American crusade for justice is automatically easier for a North American audience to get excited about than a deep-dive into the intricacies of the Medici family and Italian Renaissance....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqc-iYw1Kys 2,000 NPC’s filling out a single sequence. Over 1,000 animations tailored specifically for Connor, our new Native American protagonist. The latest trailer for Assassin’s Creed III imparts some scintillating details about Ubisoft’s AnvilNext technology - the proprietary game engine for the series’ next installment. The engine’s goal, as the voiceover smoothly notes: “transporting you deep inside America… before it was ‘America.’ " Originally developed for Assassin’s Creed in 2007 under the moniker ‘Scimitar,’ and referred to simply as ‘Anvil’ for 2009’s radically improved Assassin’s Creed II, the overhauled AnvilNext engine is making its debut in Assassin’s Creed III....

[HTML1] In keeping with the marketing generally seen from the series, momentum is starting to build for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Thrusting players into the Golden Age of Pirates and a search for gold, gore and glory, the game’s new protagonist Edward Kenway will be making a big splash in the Caribbean this November. Ubisoft has made somewhat of a habit out of cinematic trailers that get even casual onlookers interested, and the same is true for Black Flag....

[HTML1] Many gamers were first introduced to the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise earlier this year under the moniker of Assassin’s Creed Victory. After a handful of leaked screenshots showcased some overviews of London, England, the new title was only briefly touched upon before appropriately disappearing into the shadows from whence it came. Several months later, Ubisoft is finally ready to give gamers a better look at the next major installment of its flagship series....

[HTML1] With Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, developer Ubisoft took their open world title from last-gen to current-gen on the back of a swashbuckling adventure. But while AC 4 was a current-gen title, it didn’t necessarily have all of the flourishes gamers expect from a PS4 or Xbox One release. For Assassin’s Creed Unity, however, Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops and focusing exclusively on the current-gen platforms. As a result, the development team has been able to push their Anvil Engine in new and exciting ways....

According to the source, Hamill, midfielders Deepak Tangri and Ashique Kuruniyan, forward Manvir Singh and goalkeeping coach Angel Pindado are running high temperatures. The source told Sportskeeda on condition of anonymity: ATKMB signed Hamill from A-League side Melbourne Victory on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee in June. The centre-back was roped in to replace Spanish defender Tiri, who was ruled out for seven to eight weeks after sustaining an ACL tear in May....

Cipher Prime will be taking a page out of Double Fine’s book, as the developer plans to fund Auditorium 2: Duet through Kickstarter. Double Fine garnered much success through the service, and the Auditorium developer hopes to emulate that success. Auditorium has launched on a myriad of platforms, from iOS to PSN, but today it finally comes to Steam. Oddly enough, if Cipher Prime is able to develop the new game, they will launch it on Steam first, with hopes to bring the game to other platforms later down the road....

Last week, Benavidez and Hightower had a series of verbal altercations after they were finalists in a group date pillow fight. The tension ultimately led this season’s Bachelor Peter Weber to question Benavidez’s character after many of the women claimed she isn’t who Weber thinks she is. Weber sent Benavidez home as a result, but that doesn’t mean her role on the show is over. Even though Weber spent much of his pool party rose ceremony asking the remaining women about Benavidez’s character, he may not have been certain about sending her home....

The Blues racked up another three points on Saturday, edging past struggling Swansea City 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium thanks to Cesc Fabregas’ fourth-minute goal. The win moves them two points behind Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who host Watford at Wembley on Monday, and Conte remains cautiously optimistic that they could yet leapfrog their rivals. He told BBC Sport: “The only way we can put a bit of pressure on the top four is to win....

An extremely popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), League of Legends is often cited as being one of the (if not the) biggest esports on the planet. Which is particularly impressive when you consider that it has been hanging around now for well over a decade. Given its enduring appeal, it is hardly surprising to see that the global phenomenon has branched out into other areas. Not only are there spin-offs games that adapt the franchise for other genres – like Teamfight Tactics (a strategy offshoot) Legends of Runeterra (a virtual card game), and Wild Rift (a mobile title) -but the series has also made the transition to comic-books, short stories and even music videos....

The U.S. shockingly fell short of the 2018 World Cup, failing to qualify for the first time since 1986. The team appeared to have done enough by defeating Panama 4-0 in its penultimate qualifying match, but was stunned 2-1 at Trinidad & Tobago four days later to knock the Stars and Stripes out of Russia 2018. Cameron, a usual starter along the back line, was benched for both October matches after putting in a subpar performance in a September qualifying loss to Costa Rica....

The sudden noise interrupted a conversation between Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. However, the two former England internationals laughed off the situation. Lineker took to social media to clarify what had happened behind the scenes. Someone had taped a mobile phone to the back of the set, from which the recording was being played. The former Barcelona striker tweeted: Liverpool, meanwhile, are currently leading Wolves in the FA Cup third-round replay at the time of writing this article....

It was just yesterday that we brought the news of John Beiswenger, author of the novel Link, who is pursuing a lawsuit against Ubisoft for the similarities between Assassin’s Creed and his book. Essentially, Beiswenger believes that Ubisoft stole the idea for the Animus from Link, and would like some form of compensation. Since these types of legal disputes generally are stretched out far longer than they need to be — just look at West and Zampella vs....

Just because the cosmetic elements may not have an impact on Connor’s personal story or the American Revolution, that doesn’t make it any less likely that fans will spend endless hours in a quest to unlock Connor’s Mohawk Armor once they take a look at the concept art. It’s important to note that the concept artwork has not been officially stated by Ubisoft to be the armor that will end up in the game, but as we first saw with the leaked cover art, where there’s smoke there generally tends to be fire....

Now Assassin’s Creed 3 has arrived, with more gamers convinced to get on board than for any game in the publisher’s history. But does Assassin’s Creed 3 deliver the most polished, refined, and ambitious experience in the series, or merely another dose of what fans love? Ambition is certainly a word that will be thrown around in any discussion of Assassin’s Creed 3’s most impressive elements; as well as its shortcomings....

The old saying states that one should make hay while the sun shines, and Ubisoft is doing just that. With the arrival of next-gen splitting gamers between two platform generations, the publisher is serving up not one, but two helpings of Assassin’s Creed this Holiday season: Assassin’s Creed Unity for the Xbox One and PS4, and for those still sticking with their PS3 or Xbox 360, there’s Assassin’s Creed Rogue....

As the Assassin’s Creed franchise has grown, so too has the size of its DLC and Season Passes. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag DLC Freedom Cry was big enough to eventually warrant a standalone release, and today Ubisoft has continued its trend of hefty DLC with the reveal of the additional content that comes with the Season Pass for upcoming title Assassin’s Creed Unity, which is set during the French Revolution and features a new protagonist called Arno Dorian....
