  • DARKNESS DESCENDS ON MANHATTAN — THE DIVISION 2: ECHOES OF CENTRAL PARK OUT NOW

    DARKNESS DESCENDS ON MANHATTAN — THE DIVISION 2: ECHOES OF CENTRAL PARK OUT NOW

    The park has been silent — until now

    For the first time in franchise history, the gates are open. Central Park and the Upper West Side — sealed off since the outbreak, shrouded in mystery and fear — are yours to explore. But something waits among the trees. Whispers spread through the streets: people vanishing, bodies found in the shadows, rumours of a new virus variant. Panic is feeding on itself. And you’re the one sent to find the truth.

    The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park — the darkest, most atmospheric chapter yet in the series — is out now.

    Into the unknown — a story told through fear and memory

    You answer a distress call from Miranda Veer, CEO of Veer Corp, deep within the park. What begins as a rescue mission quickly unravels. The area is gripped by paranoia: neighbours suspect neighbours, factions vanish without trace, and a sinister presence is said to hunt the tree-lined paths after dark.

    The story unfolds as a haunting flashback narrative — one survivor recounts what happened, but her version of events may not be the whole truth. Your job is to separate fact from fear, reality from rumour, and uncover what truly lurks in the deep woods.

    You don’t go alone — earn their trust, fight as one

    Three reluctant heroes call this part of Manhattan home. None are eager to help, but all have skin in the game. You must win their confidence before they’ll stand beside you:

    • A former Division agent — knows the system and how to break it
    • A battle-hardened athlete — unmatched speed and survival instinct
    • A resourceful local — knows every alley, shortcut, and hidden trail

    Only one can accompany you at a time, and each brings a unique fighting style, abilities, and personal stakes in the mission. Build their trust, and they’ll fight harder, share more, and reveal secrets no one else knows.

    A whole new Manhattan — twice the size of Battle for Brooklyn

    The new playable zone is expansive and atmospheric:

    • Central Park reclaimed — overgrown, shadow-draped, and far larger than any previous open zone
    • Upper West Side streets — residential blocks, shops, and landmarks frozen in the moment the panic took hold
    • Horror-inspired tone — quieter, tenser, and more unsettling than any Division campaign before it
    • Story-driven campaign — uncover layers of mystery as you push deeper into the park

    Beyond the story — endgame, gear, and crossplay

    Once the main campaign concludes, Central Park transforms into a dynamic endgame zone: return on your own terms, scale the difficulty, and face escalating threats for exclusive rewards. You’ll also find:

    • Six new skill variants — abilities shaped by the very threats you overcome
    • New Exotic weapon: The Ratel — distinctive, powerful, and earned through park challenges
    • Brand-new gear set — built for sustained combat and survival
    • Level 40 boost included — jump straight into the action
    • Crossplay incoming — play with Agents across all platforms in an upcoming update

  • Full Circle! Rayman Legends Retold Gifts Free Astro Bot Costume to All PS5 Players — Unlocked December 3

    Full Circle! Rayman Legends Retold Gifts Free Astro Bot Costume to All PS5 Players — Unlocked December 3

    It’s the crossover we’ve been waiting for — and the best part? It won’t cost you a penny.

    Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Montpellier, and PlayStation’s Team Asobi have teamed up to bring a PS5-exclusive Astro Bot costume to Rayman Legends Retold, launching December 3, 2026 — and every player gets it for free.

    The Story Behind the Suit

    If this pairing feels familiar, that’s because it is. Back in 2024, Rayman made a beloved cameo appearance as a special VIP Bot in Astro Bot, rubbing shoulders with PlayStation’s favourite little robot. Now, the favour is being returned — Astro’s iconic design is reimagined as a costume for Rayman, creating a perfect full-circle moment between two platforming legends.

    How to Unlock It

    No pre-order required. No extra purchase needed.

    • When: Your very first visit to Victor Velour’s costume shop
    • Cost: Completely free
    • Platform: Exclusive to PS5 / PS5 Pro
    • Requirement: Just play the game — the outfit unlocks automatically as you meet the tailor during your adventure

    Crafted with Care — A Collaboration Three Ways

    The outfit is the result of a genuine joint effort between Ubisoft and Team Asobi. Lead character artist Quentin Chaillet explained the team’s goal:

    “We wanted to stay as faithful as possible to Astro Bot’s iconic design while making sure it still felt authentically Rayman. That meant carefully adapting the shapes and proportions — especially his large nose, no arms or legs, and those big shoes.”

    The result? Rayman decked out in Astro’s signature sleek white-and-metallic body, glowing blue accents, and that instantly recognisable helmet — all shaped to fit Rayman’s limbless, expressive silhouette.

  • Crimson Skies & Lethal Loot — The Division 2: Red Moon Unleashed Event Descends

    Crimson Skies & Lethal Loot — The Division 2: Red Moon Unleashed Event Descends

    A blood-red moon hangs over Washington D.C., and darkness isn’t just falling — it’s fighting back. Ubisoft has officially lifted the lid on Red Moon Unleashed, the haunting new Halloween event hitting The Division 2 — and it’s bringing fresh frights, fearsome gear, and a limited-time twist to the Dark Zone.

    When It Runs

    October 15 through November 3, 2026 — available across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. That gives you just over two and a half weeks to dive in before it vanishes.

    What It Is — The Red Moon Effect

    Building on the ongoing Red Moon Rising Dark Zone activity, Red Moon Unleashed amps up the atmosphere and stakes. The Black Tusk have seized control of the PvE Dark Zones, and your SHD tech is behaving unpredictably. Here’s the deal:

    • Enter the affected Dark Zone (check your map for the glowing red moon icon — it rotates weekly)
    • The longer you stay, the more Red Moon Stacks you build — gaining 2 stacks every 6 seconds
    • Each tier brings powerful buffs paired with dangerous drawbacks — high risk, high reward
    • Die, extract, or leave the zone ? stacks reset completely. Safehouses pause accumulation so you can catch your breath

    The Loot — Two New Exotics & Spooky Swag

    This is where it gets exciting. The event-exclusive reward pool serves up Exotics, Dark Zone Named items, Prototype gear, and more — headlined by:

    Vertigo — Exotic GR9 Rifle

    • Talent: Startling — Suppress an enemy ? they become Disoriented, and you + allies gain +30% damage to targets out of cover for 15 seconds
    • Built-in bonuses: +15% Crit Chance, +50-round mag, +15% reload speed, +10% rate of fire

    Sarru — Exotic Backpack

    • Talent: Decoy King — The moon cycles through 8 phases, one every 5 seconds
    • Your damage bonus starts at +5% (New Moon) and climbs to +25% (Full Moon) before falling back
    • Perfect for sustained combat — time your big hits with the peak phases

    Halloween Exclusives

    • Bound Slasher Mask — login reward available throughout the event
    • Lichtenberg — lightning-fast high-end rifle with the Run and Gun talent (build stacks while on the move)
    • Additional themed cosmetics and gear caches

    How to Jump In

    1. Update The Division 2 to the latest build
    2. Look for the red moon icon on your Dark Zone map — that’s your active event zone
    3. Head in, hold your nerve, and push as deep as you dare
    4. Twitch Drops are also running during parts of the event — link your accounts to grab extra caches while watching your favourite agents

    Mark Your Calendar

    Red Moon Unleashed wraps November 3 — the very same day the next major chapter, Echoes of Central Park, launches. It’s a spectacular send-off for the spooky season and a perfect warm-up for what comes next.

    Don’t let the moon set without your prizes, Agents — D.C. is waiting, and it’s hungry.

  • Titans, Tactics & Troops — March of Giants Pioneer Playtest Marches Free on Steam!

    Titans, Tactics & Troops — March of Giants Pioneer Playtest Marches Free on Steam!

    Command colossal power, lead loyal troops, and reshape the battlefield itself. Ubisoft has launched the Pioneer Playtest for March of Giants — their bold new 4v4 tactical MOBA — live right now and completely free on Steam. Step into the boots of a towering Giant, rally your army, and fight to crush the enemy strongholds before they level yours.

    What Is March of Giants?

    March of Giants isn’t your standard MOBA — it’s warfare on a massive scale. You don’t just control a powerful champion; you lead a Giant — an avatar of Dreams or Nightmares forged in the fires of a century-long conflict — alongside battalions of soldiers that follow your orders, capture points, and reinforce your advance.

    Set against a gritty early-20th-century backdrop blending industrial technology and arcane wonder, matches are 4-vs-4 tactical clashes where coordination, positioning, and smart deployment decide victory.

    The Objective

    • Three Bastions anchor each team’s front line
    • Destroy two of the enemy’s three to win
    • Defend your own from the same fate
    • Push lanes, secure resources, and outmanoeuvre your foes

    Choose Your Giant — Dream or Nightmare?

    Each Giant brings unique powers, playstyles, and commanding strengths to the field:

    Table

    GiantTypeStyle
    VictoriaMelee — DreamSpear-wielding warrior whose immolation burns through foes; leads from the front
    WolfgangMelee — NightmareUnleashes inner rage and packs of terrifying werewolves to harry and tear apart lines
    VoidmasterRanged — NightmareSpreads corruption via dark rituals; weakens foes over wide areas
    StrykkaMelee — NightmareStrikes with shocking speed and retribution; punishes those who dare oppose her
    KraggMelee — NightmareBrute force incarnate; earth-shaking charges break formations and clear paths
    Pandemos (coming Oct 12)—New Giant joining mid-playtest — unlock permanently via Pioneer Status

    Troops, Trenches & Tactics — More Than Just Hero Combat

    Where most MOBAs give you passive minions, March of Giants puts command in your hands:

    • Lead your soldiers — rally, redirect, and send them to scout, attack, or capture objectives
    • Deploy Battleworks — spend gathered Supplies to shape the fight: trenches, bunkers, tanks, cavalry drops, and more
    • Gather & upgrade — capture nodes, stockpile resources, and tailor your Giant’s build to shift momentum
    • Team synergy — combine Giant abilities with troop positioning and Battleworks for devastating coordinated strikes

    Pioneer Playtest — All the Details

    • Now live through October 18, 2026
    • Platform: Steam (PC) — free to join
    • Available regions: North America + select European countries (including UK)
    • Requirements: Free Steam account + free Ubisoft Connect account
    • How to join: Visit March of Giants Steam page ? click Request Access under Playtest ? wait for a Steam notification

    Earn Pioneer Rewards That Last Forever

    Play during the test, earn Pioneer Points, and unlock exclusive, permanent benefits:

    • Pioneer Medal — displayed in all future matches
    • Pandemos unlocked — the new Giant, forever yours
    • Free Early Access Pack — exclusive cosmetics arriving Summer 2027
    • Shape the game — your feedback directly guides balance and design

    What Lies Ahead

    Following the Pioneer Playtest, March of Giants targets Early Access — Summer 2027, with the full free-to-play release to follow. This is your first chance to experience the unique troop-command system, the evolving roster, and a MOBA where you don’t just fight — you lead an army.

    “In this game, you aren’t just a hero. You are the front line, the general, and the hope of your people — all in one.”

    Request access on Steam today, pick your Giant, and march toward glory. The Bastions await.

  • Giants, Armies, and Altered Front Lines — March of Giants Lets You Lead the War, Not Just Fight It!

    Giants, Armies, and Altered Front Lines — March of Giants Lets You Lead the War, Not Just Fight It!

    Forget everything you know about MOBAs. March of Giants isn’t just another hero-battler — it’s a 4v4 War MOBA where you don’t just pick a champion: you become a towering commander, lead hundreds of soldiers, and reshape the very battlefield itself.

    From Ubisoft (and the team behind Rainbow Six Siege) comes a bold free-to-play experience that turns familiar lane combat into something entirely new. Here’s what awaits:

    Play as a Giant

    You’re not just a hero — you’re a force of nature on the front lines. Each Giant brings a unique set of abilities, from crowd control to devastating area strikes, designed to dominate the field and protect your ranks.

    Lead Your Army

    No more waiting for minions to march. You command hundreds of soldiers directly — sending them charging at enemy giants, storming outposts, and applying relentless pressure across every front. Your army is your greatest weapon; how you wield it decides the fight.

    Deploy Battleworks

    Lanes shift and strategies evolve as you place trenches, bunkers, turrets, and tanks to fortify your advance — or shore up your defence. These structures don’t just sit there: they turn open ground into fortified zones, create chokepoints, and crumble as the battle rages, leaving permanent marks on the map. Every match becomes a war of manoeuvre, not just reflexes.

    Why It Stands Apart

    Traditional MOBAs focus on you and your abilities. March of Giants focuses on you, your army, and your battlefield. Every decision — from where to station your troops to what structures to build — ripples across the entire map. Matches are fast, strategic, and constantly changing.

    Development continues following the recent acquisition by Ubisoft, with playtests ongoing and new features being shaped by community feedback. To find out more or sign up for future trials, head over to the official site.

    The front line is waiting — will you lead the charge?

  • Into the Shadows — The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park Launches November 3!

    Into the Shadows — The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park Launches November 3!

    New York’s most iconic landmark has fallen silent — and something terrible has taken root. Ubisoft has officially unveiled The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park, the game’s darkest and most ambitious expansion yet, arriving November 3, 2026.

    The Signal. The Mission. The Horror.

    When the Strategic Homeland Division intercepts a mysterious distress signal deep within Central Park, you’re deployed to extract a high-value target: Miranda Veer. What starts as a standard rescue mission quickly unravels. The park — once a symbol of life — has become a place overtaken by fear, vanishing civilians, whispered legends, and a terrifying new apex threat lurking in the shadows.

    Rumours spread faster than truth. Factions vanish. And the deeper you go, the more you realise: you aren’t just hunting a target — you’re being hunted.

    Explore the Unseen

    For the first time in franchise history, step into Central Park and the Upper West Side — from Lincoln Square to the Dakota District. This isn’t the bustling green heart you remember; it’s a sprawling, decaying expanse where GPS fails, fog clings to the trees, and every shadow could be the last thing you see.

    Fight Together. Survive Together.

    You won’t face the dark alone. Three unique companions join your mission, each with specialised combat abilities and their own perspective on what’s happening:

    • Specialist — brings heavy firepower and defensive expertise
    • Analyst — deciphers clues, reveals hidden threats, and disrupts enemy networks
    • Survivor — knows the park better than anyone, guiding you through secret paths and ambushes

    What Awaits in the Dark

    The Truth Is Buried Deep

    Enemy factions — including the Black Tusk and the Cleaners — patrol the perimeter, but they’re not the real danger. Something has moved into the park. Something that turns missing people into something far worse. The urban legends aren’t just stories anymore. They’re warnings.

    Every choice, every path, every encounter shapes what you find — and what survives. The park has been waiting. Now, it’s your turn.

    Agents, your distress signal has been received. Echoes of Central Park — November 3. Don’t go alone.

    Tactical shooters, take cover. Ubisoft has officially rolled out Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Split Fire (Year 11 Season 3), and it’s turning up the heat on the modern meta. Bringing a lethal new Defender, balance reworks, map redesigns, and fresh arcade modes, this season promises to shake up how teams attack and hold objectives.

    At the absolute centre of this inferno is Noor, an Egyptian Defender specifically designed to shatter the oppressive shield meta and punish careless pushes.

    Here is everything you need to know about Noor, his unique loadout, and why Operation Split Fire is set to change Siege forever.

    Meet Noor: The Shield-Melting Egyptian Defender

    For seasons, shield-wielding Attackers like Montagne, Blitz, and Fuze have dominated tight pushes. Enter Noor—a 2-Speed, 2-Armor Egyptian Defender who brings worldly knowledge, tactical finesse, and a fiery vengeance to the counter-terrorist unit.

    The Unique Gadget: Horus Lance Launcher

    Noor’s signature ability is the Horus Lance Launcher, a weapon loaded with five drill-like projectiles designed to pierce, ignite, and deny space:

    • Shield Countering: When a Horus Lance hits a ballistic shield, it burrows in and ignites, blasting a cone of flames directly at the Attacker. To avoid burning to a crisp in seconds, the Attacker is forced to pause, swing their shield aside, and pluck the lance out. This animation leaves them completely exposed to Defender crossfire.
    • Dual-Sided Wall & Floor Hazard: The lance can also attach to soft/reinforced walls, hatches, barricades, Castle panels, and Azami barriers. Once embedded, it jets flames out of both sides of the surface simultaneously, creating instant double-sided area denial and destroying incoming hard-breach gadgets if timed right.
    • Single-Sided Flame: If fired at non-penetrable surfaces (like solid door frames), it shoots flames from a single side to lock down choke points.

    Loadout & Synergies

    Noor’s loadout allows him to anchor effectively or play a high-impact flex role:

    • Primary Weapons: Commando-9 Assault Rifle / ALDA 5.56 LMG
    • Secondary Weapons: 1911 TACOPS Handgun / Bailiff 410 (great for site setup)
    • Secondary Gadgets: Deployable Shield / Barbed Wire

    Pro-Tip: Pair Noor with Pulse to track heartbeat signals through soft walls and land precision Horus Lances, or team him up with Tubarão or Melusi to trap slowed Attackers inside the burning radius.

    What Else is New in Operation Split Fire?

    While Noor is stealing the spotlight, Operation Split Fire brings a massive wave of seasonal updates to keep the tactical gameplay fresh:

    1. Villa Map Redesign

    Villa’s underutilised 1F Living Room/Library bomb site has been relocated down to the Basement, complete with major structural renovations, new rotation paths, and updated interior sightlines.

    2. Operator & Weapon Balancing

    • Dokkaebi: Receives Breach Charges (replacing EMPs), but her Jegeo Payload upload can now be interrupted by Mute Jammers and requires a constant active connection.
    • Kali: Scopes rebalanced to 3.5x and 8x with faster bolt-action timing between shots.
    • Weapon Adjustments: Recoil and magazine tweaks arrive for high-skill picks like the SMG-12 and AR-15.50 to encourage controlled burst firing.

    3. Limited-Time Arcade & Events

    • 3v3 Arcade Mode: A fast-paced, 7-round max Bomb mode designed for smaller squads, featuring a quick 30-second prep phase and Operator attrition rules.
    • Wasteland Circuit Event: Siege’s first-ever drone-racing event! Players will battle through obstacle-filled tracks with speed boosts and item drops.

    Final Verdict

    Operation Split Fire is a breath of fresh air—and hot fire—for Rainbow Six Siege. By introducing an active counter to shield pushes without making them obsolete, Noor raises the skill ceiling for both Defenders and Attackers alike.

    Are you ready to main Noor, or will your shield push get cooked? Drop into Operation Split Fire today and test out the new meta for yourself!
