This game, curiously, has no actual dogs.

If you are one of the billions of people out there who have not yet picked up Watch Dogs: Legion, you will have a chance to try it before you buy it. This coming weekend, anybody with an Ubisoft account will be able to download and play a portion of Watch Dogs Legion. Afterwards, as is common with free weekends, you will be able to purchase the game at a steep discount.

All of this kicks off beginning tomorrow, March 25. From then...

Free from Ubisoft.

For a limited time, you can get a free copy of Trials Rising courtesy of Ubisoft. It is free as part of the company's "Happy Holidays" promotion. All you need to do is log in with your Ubisoft account and redeem it through the Happy Holidays promotional site.

Trials Rising will be free from now through to 5AM (PT) on December 18. It is at that time that it will be replaced by another free offering from Ubisoft.

Trials Rising is...

Becoming Eivor.

This new trailer for Assassin's Creed Valhalla will show you how you will transform into Eivor, a fierce Viking warrior. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is due to be released on November 10, 2020 for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Store, and Stadia. The PlayStation 5 launch will obviously happen when that console is launched on November 12 in North America. ...

Tons of new info, screenshots, and media from Ubisoft Forward.

Another big media blitz coming from Ubisoft Forward this past weekend was for Watch Dogs: Legion, the third game in the Watch Dogs franchise. Legion opened the show with a weird "Tipping Point" cinematic trailer, but was fortunately replaced with actual gameplay after a short while. We have included both trailers below for your viewing pleasure, but I might suggest that you skip the Tipping Point one. It is seriously...

Coming Holiday 2020 on EGS, Uplay, and next-gen consoles.

As promised yesterday, Ubisoft did indeed reveal plenty of details for their next Assassin's Creed title today. It's called Assassin's Creed Valhalla and it is in development for the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia. On the PC side of things, it will be sold exclusively through either Uplay and, you guessed it, the Epic Games Store. No matter where you decide to purchase it, Assassin's Creed...

FREE. GAMES!

Just a quick public service announcement for all of you who are quarantined. You are staying inside, right? You better be. If you are, you might be bored! That's why a bunch of places are offering up some free games during these trying times.

From today through April 17, 2020, you can add Assassin's Creed II Deluxe Edition to your Uplay account on the PC. It's free. Totally free. If you add it now, it's yours to keep forever and ever. Just be sure to add it...

Play for free starting March 5.

Ubisoft announced that they will hold a free weekend for Rainbow Six: Siege from March 5 through March 8. This free weekend looks like it will be made available across all available platforms. Those are PC via Uplay, PC via Steam, PC via Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The kind folks at Ubisoft even set up a special landing page for those interested in the Rainbow Six: Siege free weekend.

This page includes a...

A new gameplay launch trailer for the latest Ghost Recon game.

Ubisoft released a new trailer today for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. This game is out now if you bought the Gold or Ultimate Editions of the game or on October 4 if you picked up the lowly Standard Edition of the game. All in all, it's probably a good time for a launch trailer to be released.

This new trailer includes gameplay footage that shows you what you can expect to experience when or if you pick the game...

Plus, try it free for one month.

Back at E3, Ubisoft announced that they would soon launch their own subscription service. This service that they're calling Uplay+ would function much like EA's Access and Origin Access programs in that you will be able to pay a monthly fee to gain access to an ever growing library of old and new titles from the publisher. Really, the only major differences that I can see here is the fact that Uplay+ may not include a discount on game purchases like...

Get it now and keep it forever.

Ubisoft is giving away a free copy of Steep through their Uplay client. From now until May 21, you can add the game to your account for nothing. Do it before this deal ends and it's yours to keep forever. Fail to add it to your account and proceed to kick yourself for missing out on a free game.

It's your call.

Steep is a game that allows you to ski, snowboard, parachute, and fly around with wingsuits down mountainous terrain...

Looks like the leak, along with Jon Bernthal, was true.

Yesterday, a little leak revealed that the next Ghost Recon game was going to be called Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Today, Ubisoft announced the name of their next Ghost Recon game. It's called Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Surprise!

Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be released on October 4 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. I'm assuming the PC release will be done through Uplay and the Epic Games Store only.

...

Ubisoft is giving away Assassin's Creed Unity for free via Uplay. This free game will be available only for a limited time, so be sure to grab it while you can. If you pick up the game prior to April 25 at 3AM (ET), then you will be able to keep Assassin's Creed Unity forever without having to pay a dime.

This move by Ubisoft is being done in response to the recent fire at the Notre-Dame de Paris. As Unity takes place in Paris, it is actually possible to go "visit"...

With Tom Clancy's The Division 2 coming out in just 10 days (March 15, 2019), it seems like a wholly appropriate time for a launch trailer. On March 15th, The Division 2 will take PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players to our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

You can pick up The Division 2 for the PC from either the Epic Games Store (affiliate link) or from the Ubisoft Store. As it stands, The Division 2 is sadly not available through Steam. ...

This is a nice little thing that Ubisoft is doing for The Division 2 pre-orders. If you pre-order the PC version of the game, you can get one of three free games at no extra charge. Yes, saying "free game at no extra charge" is redundant.

The games being offered are Watch Dogs 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Far Cry Primal. Here are the details about this deal. ...
