Whereas previous Assassin’s Creed games encouraged you to be a scalpel that could strike with surgical precision and vanish before anyone was aware of your devious presence, Eivor is pure blunt force trauma and a siege weapon in a knife fight.

Sunday’s Ubisoft Forward event was built on a few old faithfuls from the French publisher’s brand: Watch Dogs Legion continues to look ripper, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has cat raiders so I’m now totally invested in that and Far Cry 6 was officially revealed. With Hyper Scape and Brawlhalla fleshing out the event, it was a solid show but one that …

It’s official: The greatest horror game of all time, finally has a release date. It’s you, a cylinder of death held together with duct tape and dreams, soaring high over various cities and praying that you can land the damn thing without bursting into a ball of flames upon a safe return to terra firma. I am of course talking about the latest incarnation of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which will finally be touching down soon.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft’s looking to change the flow of side quests up. And by change, we mean not have them in the game at all. Or at least give the idea a new coat of paint.

Believe me, I’m as shocked as you are to be talking about a game that is now two years old. Buried beneath news stories of bashing the fash in London and watching Genie Carl Capuccino from Broken Sad teach his son how to hold a grenade, some tasty new content for The Crew 2 was announced.

EA’s UFC series has done alright for itself over the years, pioneering the digital pugilism of the Ultimate Fighting Championship across multiple games. It’s nowhere near as good as wrasslin’ mind you, due to it having a distinct lack of Five-Star shooting presses, story angles about undead wild west morticians looking to keep their winning streak alive at an annual showdown and a complete disregard for abandoning the rules so that people can see three stages of hell Armageddon matches. Nice gloves, wimp.

We’ll be live-covering the event tonight, so if you’re not in the mood to watch everything unfold, check here for fresh trailer dumps, more info on upcoming games and plenty of hype!

We’re neck deep in the totally Not-E3 season, and after weeks of waiting one of the Big Four of gaming is finally ready to lift the lid on everything that it has to show. Ubisoft’s back with a bang, and barring any other leaks for Far Cry 6, there should be a few surprises in store tonight! Ubisoft’s event kicks off at 12pm PT/3pm ET/8pm GMT, which translates to 9PM in African time. Not too shabby.
