Star Wars Outlaws sales have been “softer than expected,” and the lessons learned have been part of why Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to 2025. Alongside that announcement, the Outlaws devs have confirmed that the game is coming to Steam on November 21 alongside its first DLC pack, and they’ve expanded on their plans for free updates to improve the game.The first Star Wars Outlaws DLC pack, Wild Card, is set to launch on November 21, according to a new message from Ubisoft on Twitter. The DLC had previously been announced for a vague ‘fall’ launch. November 21 will also see the game launch on Steam. It had previously been exclusive to Ubisoft’s own launcher and the Epic Games Store on PC, with no clear indication it was going to come to other storefronts. A message from our team to you. pic.twitter.com/wFi3I2tqPxSeptember 25, 2024Wild Card will see Kay take on Lando Calrissian in a high-stakes Sabacc tournament. Creative director Julian Gerighty tells Game File (paywalled) that both this DLC pack and its spring 2025 follow-up are “fairly meaty.”Ubisoft also says in the message to fans that “we’re hard at work creating multiple title updates, which will bring opti…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard carries the monumental task of incorporating some of the player decisions from previous entries roughly a decade old. To streamline and grapple with the ever-expanding Dragon Age lore, the team has boiled this down to three specific decisions.According to IGN, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have an “Adventurer’s Past” section of the character creator where players will “select a few story decisions via tarot cards.” You’ll be asked if you disbanded the Inquisition, if you stopped or saved solas, and most importantly, who your Inquisitor romanced. Unfortunately your romance options will still be gender and lineage-locked as they were in Inquisition. These three decisions will give players’ agency in crafting the RPG that most closely resembles some of the choices made back in Inquisition. This might feel like a small list of options, but Bioware would rather ignore some of your previous choices to avoid undoing them with needless references. With Veilguard taking place in Northern Thedas, many of the decisions you made down south won’t even come into play, so it gives the team room to craft a different narrative away from political and geographica…

Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to 2020’s samurai open-world game Ghost of Tsushima is doing what every good sequel should: giving the main character a gun. Announced at the PlayStation State of Play this week, Ghost of Yotei sets out to tell the tale of new female protagonist Atsu’s journey in 1603 – more than 300 years after the events of Tsushima. Of course, with sequels comes iteration on gameplay mechanics, and what better way to do that than by introducing firearms into the mix. According to The New York Times, players will “be able to master firearms in addition to melee weapons like the katana,” which sounds like it could be the type of escalation an open-world samurai game could use to spice things up. Keeping things from feeling repetitive is something creative director Jason Connell is acutely aware of.As Connell tells the New York Times, “One challenge that comes with making an open-world game is the repetitive nature of doing the same thing over and over.” He continues on, “We wanted to balance against that and find unique experiences.” I’d say giving players the option to bust down the door with some new weaponry is one way to combat this problem, but it re…

As Ubisoft works to turn things around after a few bad years, CEO Yves Guillemot reckons making good, “solid” games won’t cut it.On the heels of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay which has made Ubisoft’s 2024 noticeably lighter, Guillemot discussed plans for the future. Bear in mind, this past February Guillemot described Assassin’s Creed Mirage as a turning point for the studio’s output as it works to regularly put out good games again – in his words, “the beginning of our turnaround to consistently creating and delivering high-quality, long-lasting games.” Speaking on an investor conference call today, Guillemot reckoned that good just ain’t good enough. “In today’s challenging market and with gamers expecting extraordinary experiences, delivering solid quality is no longer enough,” the CEO said. “We must strive for excellence in all aspects of our work. This will enable the biggest entry in the [Assassin’s Creed] franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay styles.” This stance – which warrants the immediate counterpoint that, perhap…

Ubisoft has seemingly again commented on the backlash to Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Black protagonist, this time saying it isn’t pushing any specific agenda.In case you’re among the lucky few to have missed it, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been through the ringer since it was announced back in May. Certain corners of the internet pounced on it for a perceived lack of historical accuracy and forced diversity. Meanwhile, its reveal sparked a heated debate over whether its Black protagonist, Yasuke, was actually a real-life Samurai (he was), and completely unrelated to all of that, Ubisoft also had to apologize for the unauthorized use of a flag in Shadows’ concept art.Ubisoft has responded strongly to the controversy, with Assassin’s Creed executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté hitting back at Elon Musk for “feeding hatred” in June and CEO Yves Guillemot denouncing “hateful acts” toward its developers a couple of weeks later. In July, it defended itself against the historical accuracy complaints by reminding fans that, “while we strive for authenticity in everything we do, Assassin’s Creed games are works of fiction inspired by real historical events and figures.”In a c…

A God of War Ragnarok PC mod intended to let players bypass the controversial PlayStation Network sign-in requirement has been taken offline by the mod author.First reported by PC Gamer, iArtoriasUA’s NoPSSDK mod was designed to disable the PSN account-linking overlay and mimic a fully offline mode. PC Gamer’s own testing was successful, but others reported still having to deal with the PSN linking prompt. Regardless, it’s now been taken offline and you’ll simply see an error page if you head to the old URL on NexusMods.When the mod first disappeared, there was a lot of suspicion online about the reason for it being pulled and the party responsible. However, NexusMods itself has since shared a screenshot of a conversation it had with Artorias in which the modder admitted to taking the mod offline. It turns out coverage from sites like PC Gamer and IGN made Artorias worry that Sony might take legal action, even though the mod didn’t change any actual content in God of War Ragnarok.”Hello, that was my personal decision because the mod got too much attention … thus I thought that it would be better to remove it from public to remove any potential threats from the Sony side,” said Ar…
