Developer Tamsoft have done a decent job adapting Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception into a 3D Brawler, but one can’t help but wonder if it was worth it on its own.
Ubisoft’s Uplay+ subscription service has launched today on PC, offering players unlimited access to over 100 Ubisoft games for a monthly fee. The launch is not without its teething problems, however, as many are having trouble accessing the service or are being billed early.
Links to Uplay+ on official Ubisoft channels are mostly dead, redirecting to a 404 error page. The company says this is due to increased load, but an additional side effect of this is also causing subscription attempts to fail, with some even being charged the full amount for the first month despite the fact it’s supposed to be free if you sign up before September 30.
When the service was first announced, Ubisoft invited players to register for free ahead of the September 3 launch. Those that did are being charged now instead of in October when the charge should occur, assuming the subscription isn’t cancelled before then. Receiving a sudden fee of $14.99 / £12.99 isn’t ideal, particularly when the site isn’t working as intended and information is sparse. Ubisoft support teams are currently investigating.
Once it does work, Uplay+ sets up Ubisoft to compete with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass and EA’s Origin Access as an alternative way to pay for a wide range of PC games. In most cases, subscribers will be getting access to premium editions of Ubisoft games, with all of the DLC and season pass content included. The service also provides early access to upcoming Ubisoft titles such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Watch Dogs Legion, and will be extending to Google Stadia at some point in 2020.
Ubisoft recently spoke to GameSpot about why it doesn’t release its games on Steam, and we also have all the details on this weekend’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint closed beta.

Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct broadcast for this week. The presentation will air tomorrow, September 4, at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET, and it’ll reveal more details on Switch games coming this year.
According to the company, this week’s Nintendo Direct will feature “roughly 40 minutes of information” focusing on titles on the way to Switch in 2019. Nintendo specifically mentions we’ll learn more about Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokemon Sword and Shield, which are launching in October and November, respectively.

We’ll also presumably hear more about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s next DLC character, Banjo-Kazooie. The bear and bird duo are slated to arrive this fall, so it seems likely we’ll learn when they’ll be dropping and get a closer look at how they’ll play.
It has also been some time since we’ve heard about Town, the new Switch RPG from Pokemon developer Game Freak. The game was announced during last September’s Nintendo Direct with a 2019 release window, but we’ve learned nothing new about it since, so we may get another look at it during tomorrow’s broadcast.
As usual, Nintendo will stream this week’s Direct on its website, Twitch, or YouTube channels. GameSpot will also have the stream up along with full coverage of the presentation, so you can tune in right here and follow all the news as it breaks.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the massive paid-expansion for the monster-slaying opus, is out in a few days on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Before then, however, Capcom has revealed the first post-launch free DLC monster for the upcoming add-on, and it’s a very angry ape.
Anyone who played Monster Hunter Freedom 2 will probably be experiencing cold sweats right about now at the prospect of encountering Rajang again. The ape-like beast is incredibly strong and has the ability to emit lightning bolts from its mouth–as if the imposing horns on its head weren’t frightening enough already. The reveal trailer above also hints at Rajang’s signature Rage Mode, which turns the formidable monster’s fur golden, sending it into a destructive furore.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne launches on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox One with a PC version arriving next year. Rajang joins the fray at some point in October.
GameSpot has the lowdown on pre-order bonuses for the upcoming expansion, and you can currently pick up the base game for a mere $15 on Xbox One.

Listings for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered for the Nintendo Switch have been spotted on Greek retailer The Console Club’s website. The bundle has since been removed but was priced at €38.90 and was available for pre-order.

Earlier this year, Assassin’s Creed III Remastered was released on the Switch, and with the series moving to a bi-annual release schedule, it would make sense for Ubisoft to fill up that vacant year by porting the series to other platforms.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was originally released in October 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, before launching alongside the newly released PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rogue had a more curious launch, arriving a year later at the same time as Assassin’s Creed Unity. It only appeared on the previous generation of consoles, with a remastered version eventually making its way to PS4 and Xbox One last year.
Black Flag was praised at the time for altering the series’ formula with exciting naval battles and a pirate adventure across the Caribbean. “If there was ever any question that Assassin’s Creed needed something ambitious to get the series back on track, Black Flag is that game and then some,” said GameSpot’s review. Rogue wasn’t received quite as positively as it opted to tread water instead of moving the series forward in any way. “Instead of a rich, fleshed-out game, Rogue is a short, mildly entertaining adventure that’s thin on core content, but thick with information. It’s intriguing information though, particularly if you’re a series fan, just don’t expect the best of adventures while you’re taking it all in,” GameSpot’s review concluded.
GameSpot has contacted Ubisoft for confirmation on the bundle’s existence.

The closed beta for Ghost Recon Breakpoint is coming soon on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and you can start pre-loading now to be ready. Ubisoft has announced the start times in each region as well, so you’ll know just when to jump in.
The Ghost Recon Twitter shared the dates and times, seen below. You can get guaranteed beta access by pre-ordering the game, or you can register for a chance at entry.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint moves the series to a fictitious setting, a notable change after its selection of Bolivia for Ghost Recon Wildlands caused controversy. We recently had hands-on with the PvP and learned about how Ubisoft is aiming to better respect your time investment as a player.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint launches October 4 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It is skipping Steam in favor of the Epic Games Store, and will be coming to Google Stadia as well. You can check out the PC specs to assure your system is ready. It’s also the first major release to be part of Ubisoft’s Uplay+ subscription, which grants you a wide library of Ubisoft games including new releases. If you’re a subscriber as of October 1, you’ll get early access to the Breakpoint Ultimate Edition.

Last week Codemasters released the first video in an upcoming series focusing on the FIA Formula 2 Championship. F1 2019 marks the first time in series history that both F1 and F2 races are featured in the game, with players able to play through the full F2 2018 season at launch. A free update adding the 2019 season is due to arrive in the coming weeks, but last weekend’s tragedy has posed a tough dilemma for Codemasters.
22-year-old French F2 driver, Anthoine Hubert, was sadly killed in a horrifying collision at the Belgian Grand Prix on Saturday. Hubert, who was driving for the BWT Arden racing team, struck the tire wall at the top of Spa-Francorchamps’ world-famous Eau Rogue/Radillon corner.
After a previous crash had spread debris onto the track, Trident driver Ralph Boschung slowed down and moved towards the run-off area to avoid the field of debris. Hubert, who was following close behind Boschung and had no view of the previous crash, swerved right to avoid the slowing car, clipping Borshung’s rear wheel with his front wing. The impact sent Hubert’s car into the tire wall at an acute angle, deflecting it sideways into the path of Charouz driver Juan Manuel Correra, who struck Hubert’s car at an estimated speed between 155 and 167 miles per hour. The devastating impact tore both cars apart. Hubert and Correra were transported to the circuit’s medical centre where Hubert died from his injuries.
FIA cancelled the following day’s sprint race out of respect for Hubert and his family, and now Codemasters faces a difficult decision over Hubert’s inclusion in the upcoming F2 update for F1 2019.
This season was Hubert’s first in the competition, and Codemasters will have no doubt modelled his likeness in the game for the upcoming F2 2019 season update. The important question is whether it would be insensitive to leave him in the game, perhaps as some kind of tribute, or would it be crass to remove him completely by replacing him with whoever takes his place in real life. The decision should probably rest with Hubert’s family.
In the case of Correra, the other driver involved in the accident, the situation is a little clearer. He suffered serious injuries, undergoing surgery for fractures in both his legs and a minor spinal injury, but he’s in stable condition. Correra won’t race again this season, and might not race again for the rest of his life, but he is alive so the dilemma isn’t quite as tricky.
Players on the F1 subreddit have been posting tributes to Hubert, capturing screenshots of their laps in his pink BWT Arden F2 car on tracks at Monaco and Paul Ricard, where Hubert claimed victories this season. A touching gesture for a heartbreaking tragedy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare probably will not feature a battle royale mode. Developers Joe Cecot and Taylor Kurosaki spoke to Game Informer recently about the possibility of Modern Warfare featuring the gametype made popular by PUBG and Fortnite, among others, and it sounds like battle royale may not be part of the package for the new Modern Warfare.
“Our answer to this is we love battle royale,” Cecot said. However, Infinity Ward reportedly isn’t planning to introduce a battle royale mode of its own for Modern Warfare. That doesn’t mean Modern Warfare won’t have large-scale battles, as the new Ground War mode is Battlefield-sized with support for up to 64 players and featuring vehicles. Infinity Ward also has spoken about the possibility of Ground War to support more than 100 players at the same time.
As for Kurosaki, he said Modern Warfare is already a busy package with lots on offer. “Campaign, multiplayer, Spec Ops—[battle royale] won’t fit in the box! How much do you want?!”
These comments follow those made by art director Joel Emslie, who said in August that battle royale hasn’t been ruled out for Modern Warfare. After being asked if the game will feature the mode, Emslie said, “We’ll have to wait and see.” He also teased that there are “many” new multiplayer modes still to be announced for Modern Warfare.
2018’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features a battle royale mode of its own called Blackout.
The new Modern Warfare launches on October 25 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. A multiplayer beta kicks off later this month, so people will have a chance to try it out before too long.
