An Assassin's Creed IV season pass will let buyers play as Adewale, a new assassin who serves as first mate to main protagonist Edward Kenway in the upcoming seafaring adventure. While publisher Ubisoft has yet to officially announce the season pass, it was spotted for purchase on Best Buy by AGB.
According to the product description, the season pass includes all planned DLC packs for $19.99, representing a $20 saving off the regular price. DLC will come in the form of extra single-player missions, multiplayer content and “new ways to personalise your pirate experience”.
Ubisoft has also released a new version of the Assassin’s Creed IV E3 gameplay demo featuring commentary from game director Ashraf Ismail, which you can watch below. In a recent interview with ElderGeek, Ismail confirmed the Assassin’s Creed IV release date of October 29 in the US and November 1 in the UK on current-gen consoles, noted that the PC release is expected "a few weeks after", and said the game will be available as a launch title for Xbox One and PS4.
Gearbox has released a video showing off the first five minutes of upcoming Borderlands 2 DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. The campaign add-on is a riff on Dungeons & Dragons which sees the vault hunters playing a pen-and-paper tabletop game called Bunkers and Badasses, with bunker master Tina sending them on an adventure in a universe filled with enemies taken from fantasy worlds.
Set for release on June 25, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is the fourth and final piece of free DLC for Borderlands 2 season pass holders. Standalone it will cost $9.99 on PC and PS3 and 800 MSP (£6.85 / $10) on Xbox 360. We recently sat down with the creative director of Borderlands 2, Paul Hellquist, to talk about Tina and co.'s latest outing.
Borderlands 2 has shipped over six million copies since its release in September 2012, according to publisher Take-Two. We said of the shooter-RPG hybrid in our Borderlands 2 review: “If you like to shoot, and you dig collecting loot, Borderlands 2 has enough to scratch your itch for some time to come.”
Thief is coming to current-gen systems as well as PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Eidos Montreal confirmed the stealth burglary reboot will hit PS3 and Xbox 360 concurrently with its other versions.
Thief senior producer Stephane Roy said all versions of the game will play the same in a video to community members. The current-gen versions are being developed in-house along with their next-gen cousins, so players should expect visual quality to be the main difference.
Eidos Montreal made no mention of a Wii U version of the game. There's still time for that to change before its release sometime in 2014, of course.
Two European retailers are advertising a November 13 release date for PlayStation 4. NeoGAF users (via CVG) saw in-store advertisements with the date at Media Markt, a Dutch consumer electronics retailer, and on online retailer bol.com's listing for Sony's next-gen system.
Sony told us the dates are "pure speculation," but it does seem odd that Media Markt would go through the trouble of printing up ads with nothing to go by. As always, take the information with some healthy skepticism.
The mid-month European date would likely put the U.S. launch at late October to early November, meaning PS4 would arrive alongside a glut of cross-gen heavyhitters. Getting on the shelves in time to capture consumer excitement for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, and Call of Duty: Ghosts certainly couldn't hurt.
