    Ubisoft Backtracks on For Honor Offline Plans

    Initially, Ubisoft said that players would be able to play For Honor's single player content totally offline. That makes sense, right? Playing single player content offline is kind of the norm when it comes to games.

  • Giant's Shadow - Battlefield 1 Patch Notes for December 13

    Giant's Shadow - Battlefield 1 Patch Notes for December 13

    The patch notes for tomorrow's (December 13) update for Battlefield 1 were released earlier than normal. Typically, we're sitting here waiting for the patch notes to drop hours after the actual update is out. Not so for this one!

    This is the "Giant's Shadow" update. A new map arrives that places you in the Battle of Selle on a cold autumn day in 1918. Of course, despite this map pack being free, those with Premium will still get it early (tomorrow), while the rest have to wait until December 20.

    This update will include some non-time gated content too. This includes a Spectator Mode, a new game setting that gives everyone a bolt-action rifle (yay, historical accuracy), and plenty of changes and balancing for classes, vehicles, maps, and more. It has a Model 10-A nerf (how this wasn't done before is a mystery). It has a fix for 'some' DirectX 11 hanging issues. It's got a little bit of everything!...

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
