Ubisoft made two major announcements today. The first is that the company's subscription service, Ubisoft+, will be coming to Xbox consoles in the future. While that's big enough news on its own, Ubisoft also revealed that Rainbow Six Extraction will be coming to Xbox Game Pass, which is another big win for Microsoft's own subscription service. Ubisoft, it seems, has gaming subscriptions on the mind today.

Ubisoft released the educational iteration of their latest big Assassin's Creed title Valhalla this week. Like each of the other Assassin's Creed games that've been released over the past half-decade, Ubisoft put a significant amount of work in research into the history of our world and humanity to create an authentic experience with their game. The title Discovery Tour: Viking Age takes the work done for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and puts it in an entirely educational package.

Ghost Recon Frontline was revealed earlier this month, and in the days since then, the game has received significant blowback from fans. Ubisoft apparently planned to hit the ground running with Frontline, announcing a closed technical test for October 14th - barely more than a week after the game was announced on October 5th. However, it seems the controversy with fans has forced Ubisoft to delay that technical test for Frontline at the last minute, with no word on when it might happen in the future.

Far Cry 6 isn't even here yet, and already Ubisoft is talking about the post-launch roadmap for the game. That's par for the course for Ubisoft, and for those who are looking forward to Far Cry 6, it seems that the company has a lot of post-launch content lined up. From crossovers and special operations to weekly insurgencies and event throwbacks to old Far Cry games, it seems that Far Cry 6 will have an extensive mix of free and paid DLC.

We're quickly closing in on the release of Far Cry 6, and in the lead-up to that game's release, Ubisoft has decided to give away one of the older games in the Far Cry series. For the rest of the week, Ubisoft will be giving away free copies of Far Cry 3 to pretty much anyone who wants them. Sadly, this giveaway offer is only available on PC, so those playing on console will have to sit this one out.

It's been a while since we last talked about Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but today, the game is working its way back into the public eye. Ubisoft has revealed that it will be shipping out a new update for Assassin's Creed Odyssey that will add an important feature for those playing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, the update Ubisoft is providing stops short of being a true-to-form next-gen upgrade.

This week we're taking a peek at the latest for the Viking beast of a game Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The game's next major update comes in the form of a DLC called The Siege of Paris. We're going back to Paris, just like when we were here with Assassin's Creed Unity all the way back in late 2014. Now we get to see how the scale of that monster lines up with this newest reveal - and to find the one-handed swords Durendal Sword, Ring-Sword, Engbert Sword, and the Joyeuse Sword!

Today the company announced Tom Clancy's XDefiant, a new free-to-play arena shooter that seems to have a heavy focus on player customization.

If you were looking forward to either Riders Republic or Rainbox Six Extraction, then you'll want to settle in because the wait for both just got longer today. Ubisoft announced delays for both titles today, moving back two of its most anticipated games of the year. Thankfully, the delay for Riders Republic isn't a huge one, but the same can't exactly be said for Rainbox Six Extraction.

Earlier today, Bloomberg published an interesting report in which it claimed that Ubisoft was planning to transition the Assasin's Creed series to a live service model rather than releasing new games every couple of years. What followed after that report was arguably even more interesting, as Ubisoft dropped official confirmation of the game right in our laps. So Assassin's Creed Infinity is indeed a real thing, though according to Ubisoft, the game is still in the very early stages of development.
