Announced earlier today from Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games, Extinction is a fast-paced, action game coming out early 2018 for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.

As you can see in this first Cinematic trailer above, the player will be fighting massive 150-foot-tall ogres along with armies of other smaller creatures. Apparently, as shown in the trailer above, being able to dismember and disarm  your opponent is not just a cool cinematic touch, but will actually be something that characters will need to do in order to weaken and finally defeat enemies.

New Titanfall 2 DLC Monarch’s Reign Available Now

Get ready to roll out the red carpet for the latest DLC pack coming to Titanfall 2: Monarch’s Reign. This DLC features the addition of the 7th multiplayer Titan: Monarch, the IMC’s attempt to reverse-engineer the Militia’s Vanguard-class Titan with a decided focus on flexibility through survival and support options. The Monarch is unlike any other Titan and features a unique Upgrade Core, which allows her to improve her combat abilities during a battle based on options set by her Pilot. Monarch also has an impressive ability to draw power from enemy Titans to recharge her own shields, or the shields of her friendly Titans.

The Monarch’s Reign DLC pack also brings new cosmetic items for purchase, including the debut of Ronin Prime and Tone Prime. Ronin Prime charges the field with a samurai-inspired aesthetic including a visual-upgrade for his sword so he may more stylishly pierce the heavens (and enemy Titans). As the cherry blossoms fall across the battlefield, don’t forget to check out the Monarch’s Reign Camo Pack, inspired by World War 2 “dazzle camouflage” with broad patterns and striking colors to keep your opponent guessing. New Art Packs are now available for each Titan, as well as a new Callsign Pack.

Monarch’s Reign also brings the return of Relic; a classic map from Titanfall set among the old wreck of the IMC carrier IMS Odyssey. This remastered map features a worksite where Pilots have created clever wall running routes by hanging pieces of the wreckage between buildings.

A leak from earlier today from the Le Verità dell’Animus Facebook fan page (Update: it appears they have taken down the photo) looks like it may have revealed the name of the protagonist in the new upcoming Assassins Creed game. In the image, shown above, we see that he is refered to as Ba Yek and what appears to be Egyptian hieroglyphs above it. There has been much talk that the new Assassins Creed game may be set in Egypt, and this is looking to be helping those rumors.

To lend credit to this leak, Ubisoft’s Ashraf Ismail, who was the director on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, earlier today on Twitter appeared to reference the leak by saying “Nice t-shirt.”

Ubisoft took last year off from Assassins Creed, but stated earlier this year in an earning call that there would be another one coming this fiscal year. So far that is all that has been released, but you can be sure when they do, we will let you guys know.
