Just Dance 2014 leaks via Xbox Live

Just Dance 2014's existence has been outed via a since-removed Xbox Live Marketplace listing spotted by a NeoGAF member. Prior to its removal, the listing offered the following game description: “The latest opus of the Just Dance franchise will make you dance even more and will be once again the ultimate casual rendezvous of the year. This new opus will be even more social as you will be able to connect and dance with players from all over the world and share a unique dancing experience with them. It becomes the party expert and features today iconic pop culture references. New modes will be available, letting you and your friends experience parties the way only Just Dance knows how!”

25 million Just Dance games had been sold worldwide as of January 2012, according to Ubisoft. And speaking last month following the publication of strong annual financial results, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot claimed Just Dance was the twelfth best-selling brand on current-gen consoles. He said: “This performance was achieved thanks to high quality levels and regular releases – two key characteristics found in each of the highest-performing brands in this console cycle.”

Ahead of Ubisoft’s E3 press conference, which kicks off tonight at 11pm BST/ 3pm PST, the Watch Dogs E3 trailer has also leaked prematurely, while the publisher has been teasing a Beyond Good & Evil 2 reveal.

Watch Dogs E3 trailer leaks prematurely. Watch it here!

Ubisoft's E3 press conference is scheduled to take place this evening. And this Watch Dogs trailer is surely supposed to be a part of it. But somehow it's hit the internet already, which means you can see it now. Sadly, it appears to be pre-rendered instead of showing actual gameplay, but that will probably be shown tonight.

The game is due out on November 19 for current-gen formats and will be released for next-gen consoles too on an as-yet-unspecified date.

Call of Duty Ghosts - dog stealth, underwater combat, new screens

Activision's pre-E3 Livestream of Call of Duty Ghosts has revealed new footage and information about the game, which is due out on 5 November 2013 on current-gen consoles, PC, Xbox One and PS4.

As we already knew, the big new feature is the addition of a combat dog called Riley. This ferocious, faithful friend has a head-mounted camera, allowing you to scout out locations. You can also take control of Riley ad stealth-kill enemies.

Riley can be used to breach doors too, as the new footage showed, and he can bark to cause a distraction. It's all part of a more tactical style of combat that seems to ape EA's rival series, Battlefield 4, closely. There's even a section where you're tossed into the sea. Instead of drowning, though, you whip out a harpoon and prep for some underwater action.

The game will see you travel the globe, and you'll visit Mexico, Brazil, Antarctica as well as a very battered looking California coast...

Here's everything we know about Call of Duty Ghosts and a batch of new screens below.

LeBron James slams NBA 2K14 onto PS4 and Xbox One

LeBron James has been confirmed as the lone cover star for NBA 2K14. The four-time MVP, who recently carried the Miami Heat past Indiana into the Playoff Finals, will lead the 2K series into the next-generation on both PS4 and Xbox One. The game will also release on Xbox 360 and PS3 on 1 October in the US, 4 October in the UK and Europe.

Pre-ordering the game on current-gen (2K are yet to confirm either a release date or pre-order incentives for next-gen) will net you the King James Bonus Pack, which includes 10,000 bonus points for Virtual Career, automatic LeBron unlock in Blacktop mode, and new LeBron signature skills for MyPlayer mode.

On top of that, the Bonus Pack will also bring extra content for a new Path to Greatness mode. More details on this to follow soon.

Speaking about the announcement, LeBron says “My friends, family, and fans all know how much I love NBA 2K. I remember, as a kid, getting so excited for the game to come out and see who was on the cover and it's amazing to be a part of this great tradition.” 

With nine All-Star appearances, six All-NBA first team selections, four MVP awards and two Olympic Gold Medals King James is pretty much the perfect choice as cover star – especially as 2K rival EA is looking to release its first NBA Live game since 2010 exclusively on next-gen systems this winter. 

And one! Check out the announcement trailer right here.

Twisted Pixel’s LocoCycle is an Xbox One launch game

Twisted Pixel is making an Xbox One version of LocoCycle. The studio behind 'Splosion Man and The Gunstringer said its upcoming downloadable game will be playable at E3 next week and will be released as a Xbox One launch title later this year.

LocoCycle was originally announced as an Xbox 360 game and that version is still in development too. However, the Xbox One version will take advantage of Microsoft’s new console by running in full 1080p at a solid 60 frames per second “in addition to countless other graphical improvements”. Shown for the first time at the Penny Arcade Expo 2012, Lococycle seems to be about an artificial intelligence gaining its soul. Blending comedy, car combat and acrobatic martial arts, it tells the story of a killer robot motorcycle built to be the ultimate superspy that’s decided to escape her creator's clutches. Find out more in this first look Lococycle preview.

Twisted Pixel, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2011, said today: “We’ve always wanted to make a launch title for a new system but haven’t had the chance until now,” the studio said. “It’s a pretty cool feeling to know that there will be kids who open up their Xbox One and lose their minds with excitement then get blown away by the first few games they load up, including LocoCycle.”
