SAN FRANCISCO — October 31, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced that For Honor® Year 3 Season 4, “Sun Da”, will launch on November 7, bringing a new Wu Lin Hero: “Zhanhu”. Year 3 Season 4 will be available on PlayStation®4, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC. For Honor is also available on UPLAY+,* Ubisoft’s subscription service.

The newest hero, the Zhanhu, is available to play as either a male, Sun Da, or female, Fu Huo. Under the Wu Lin banner, Sun Da is a dark force who travels west carrying terror and dread into battle. Fu Huo fights in service to Empress Dou, venturing out to deliver the might of the Wu Lin, striking fear into enemies as an unpredictable warrior.

Strong and agile, the Zhanhu are dodge attack experts who rely on their mobility and wield a long, single-edged blade named Changdao. Also masters of artillery, they will be able to use brand new types of attacks and feats to burn the enemy and wreak havoc on the battlefield. Owners of the Year 3 pass will be immediately able to play as the Zhanhu starting November 7, while all other players can gain access to the new Hero on November 14 for 15,000 Steel.

Year 3 Season 4 takes place after the wreckage created by a massive sandstorm in the Wu Lin territories. Many warriors fled west and sought refuge in Heathmoor, while others stayed behind with the Emperor to rebuild an army. Among them, Sun Da, leader of the Zhanhu, found new ways to use fire in his laboratory at Qiang Pass, Year 3 Season 4’s newest map. Located at a narrow pass nestled between two mountains, the Wu Lin once built a grand fortress to claim the strategic route. With mountains on either side, the defending army only had to protect one front until a catastrophe weakened the fortifications. Now attackers amass at Qiang Pass, determined to open a path for their invading forces. In addition to adding a new hero and a new map, the new Season will also further balance heroes and certain hero feats. For full details of the title update, read more in For Honor’s patch notes 2.15.0: https://forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news-community

Fishing: Barents Sea Complete Edition Console Release Date

Moenchengladbach, October 31, 2019 – Great news for fans of the high seas: The popular fishing simulation Fishing: Barents Sea will come to PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™ on December 10, 2019 in the form of a Fishing: Barents Sea – Complete Edition! astragon Entertainment and Misc Games are especially happy that both the King Crab DLC as well as the Nintendo Switch™ version will be ready just in time for the December 10 release after all. Consequently, all three console versions will be released simultaneously as a complete bundle including the base game as well as all DLCs published to date.

To mark the occasion please check out a comprehensive overview of the most important features below:

The Fishing: Barents Sea – Complete Edition takes console owners to the icy coasts of Northern Norway where they will make their dream of their own fishing boat come true. On a realistic and extensive map – covering the area around the well-known fishing port of Hammerfest – they should first refill their stock including baits, lines and more functional equipment before heading out to a successful fishing haul. On the sometimes calm and sometimes stormy sea they will encounter many AI ships and boats making the virtual fishery playground even more vibrant.

More than 12 boats and ships with various characteristics and fishing methods are available for future fishermen. After mastering the art of long line fishing, they can switch to net fishing before trying their hand at the supreme discipline of trawling on board of the game’s largest ship, the originally licensed Hermes Trawler. Each fishing method will challenge the fishers with an entertaining mini game. Are you weary of the five catchable types of fish? How about some tasty crustaceans instead? Two available crab ships are the perfect choice for going on an exciting hunt for the majestic king crabs.

Each new ship will provide larger storage capacity, higher speed and extended fishing quotas and can also be improved with engine, storage and radar updates by the player. Diligent crew members will help with managing the constantly increasing workload by taking over diverse tasks on the ship.

At the beginning of their career, fishers can use their radar to successfully localize their elusive prey. In the later stages of the game they will be able to use the originally licensed Scanmar Catch Control System. This technological marvel provides the captain with an extensive overview of every important detail such as depth, size and speed of the targeted fish swarm.

But even the best equipment cannot protect the player from the rough weather conditions of the North which can turn the fishing tour of even the most experienced sea dog into a perilous journey. The Fishing: Barents Sea – Complete Edition will challenge them with real weather conditions of Hammerfest recorded within the last 20 years – fog, wind, rain, snow and sunshine. But as a little compensation for poor weather days they will also have a high chance of catching a glimpse of the beautiful Northern lights in this magical area.

Extra curious fishers can use their binoculars to watch this natural spectacle but also to discover ports, landscapes, buildings, the Barents Sea and the rest of the game world of Fishing: Barents Sea.

The Fishing: Barents Sea – Complete Edition will be released on December 10, 2019 as a digital download for Xbox One in the Xbox Games Store, for PlayStation®4 in the PlayStation® Store and for Nintendo Switch™ in the Nintendo eShop. Fishing: Barents Sea for PC is already available in retail or as a digital download.

October 30, 2019 — In a new video released today, the Crystal Dynamics development team provides a deeper dive into Marvel’s Avengers gameplay, story, AIM narrative, mission variety, Super Hero customization, and much more.

Marvel’s Avengers offers players a truly rich experience, with a combination of Hero Missions and Warzone Missions. Hero Missions are single-player only and are part of the overall Campaign. These Hero Missions are designed to showcase each hero’s unique abilities as you reassemble them to your growing roster. Warzone Missions can be played solo or with a group of up to four players as any Hero in your roster. Each mission dynamically scales based on the team size and player level.

Players in Marvel’s Avengers will also be able to customize Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a number of ways. While each Super Hero will play true to their unique power sets, each will have the flexibility to play different based on the gear you equip and the skills you enable. Each hero has dynamic combo systems, Heroic moves, an intrinsic ability, and signature move sets to unlock and customize. You’ll also be able to customize these iconic Super Heroes with classic, fan-favorite, and all-new original outfits inspired by over 80-years of Marvel history.

To ensure a heroic experience for all players, Marvel’s Avengers narrative will progress over multiple years with every new post release Super Hero and region delivered to players at no additional cost if you own the core game.

A Look into the Original World of Marvel’s Avengers

Finally, in case you missed it, earlier this month we revealed that fan-favorite Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel, is the latest playable Super Hero in Marvel’s Avengers. Players begin their journey as Kamala Khan and learn the origins of her extraordinary powers. As the story expands, Kamala plays an essential role in bringing the disbanded Avengers back together. As each Super Hero rejoins the roster, players must master their unique abilities, rebuild and customize the team to face increasingly evolving threats only the Avengers together can defeat.
