Earlier this week Ubisoft and For Honor teased an upcoming collaboration with other Ubisoft franchise, Assassin’s Creed, with a mysterious video message. It seems the two history twining titles are pairing up with a limited time expansion in For Honor.

Titled For The Creed, this new timed event allows player to jump into the AC universe and take on either the Assassin Brotherhood or the Templars. Players can take part in an all new Dominion mode, battle in re-skinned maps themed to Assassin’s Creed, fight with new weapons iconic to the AC series, pull off new AC styled emotes like leaping into hay bales, and tons more. Even the symbolic air assassination has been added to the mix when competing in For Honor.

 

 

The new seasonal event runs from December 20, 2018 to January 10 2019. For Honor is available on the PS4, PC and Xbox One. The recent expansion, Marching Fire, was released back in October and adds the Wu-Lin Shaolin warriors to the fray.

[Original Story]

Ubisoft and their multiplayer historical warrior combat game, For Honor, have been continuously adding more and more content to the game since its release almost two years ago. Clean off a fresh DLC drop titled Marching Fire, which adds the new Wu Lin faction to the game back in October, a rather cryptic message was recently shared by the For Honor Twitter account.

 

 

The message was simple and short, but for any Assassin’s Creed fans it’s an obvious hint towards potentially crossing over the two IPs. Along with the iconic message taken from the Assassin’s Brotherhood in the Assassin’s Creed series, “Nothing is true, everything is permitted”, a short video also added to the tease.

Starting off the short video is also the familiar logos from For Honor and Assassin’s Creed’s modern day corporation, Abstergo, pairing up together. This could mean any number of things, but considering there’s some flare to the reveal, we’re counting on it being something bigger than a simple cosmetic tie-in.

The official reveal is set to be announced on December 20, 2018, but everything seems to be pointing towards the two Ubisoft titles clashing together. Will we see assassins enter the mix of vikings, samurais, knights, and now Shaolin warriors? It would definitely seem like a perfect pairing given the already eclectic mash up between fierce warriors in the online melee combat game.

Check back later for more details on what exactly Ubisoft and For Honor revealed with their upcoming reveal.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
