Ubisoft finally revealed that #StarWarsOutlaws will release on 08/30/24, responding to almost non-stops leak of the game's details. There will be a Gold Edition ($109.99) that includes: -Season Pass that will bring 2 in-lore expansions -A exclusive Jabba's Gambit mission -3 days early access to the game Meanwhile the Ultimate Edition ($129.99) will include what Gold brings with also: -Sabacc Shark Bundle -Rogue Infiltrator Bundle -Digital art book Also the game will mark a 2nd time in a row that Ubisoft requires users to have active Internet Connection while installing the game if it comes in a BluRay (not just update/Day One Patch) after Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, which the only explanation is that the game's installation data is too big for a single BluRay, but maybe for cost cutting, declined on a extra installation-only disc like the case of Final Fantasy VII Remake series. Star Wars Outlaws follows space scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix looking their place between bounty hunters in a Underworld unexpected golden age after the Empire's engagement with the Rebel Alliance took unexpectedly priority. Chronologically, the game's timeline takes between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back & Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi, so there you have a low chances on encountering original Star Wars characters, specially Han Solo. #Gaming #GameNews #youtubegaming 🕹 🎮

The FTC will renew its fight against #ActivisionBlizzard acquisition with in-house trial to try to force a divestiture if merger already took by 21 days after the 9th Circuit of Courts Appeals issue their decision on the Preliminary Injunction denial appeal. While there is a small chance of success in the best case scenario for the FTC, the litigation could take years anyways taking in perspective all the step backs since day one. All this meanwhile, we have to count at the UK CMA to give an approval after the Ubisoft entered an agreement about purchasing ABK's Cloud Gaming rights, entered the picture. Observers sees difficult on how FTC can justify a case were virtually should not use data and steps taken in the Preliminary Injunction hearing, should not try to proxy the CMA's process to favor their arguments & how effective is the spending of taxpayers on a virtual lost case. #Gaming #GamingNews

Axios reported this week, that Ubisoft thought on the #ImmortalsFenyxRising sequel to be inspired by Elden Ring (its organic discovery mechanics mainly) & The Legend OF Zelda: Wind Waker. The game would have been set on a Polynesian archipelago of several islands. #Gaming #GamingNews

Originally slated as a Plan B & now the WHOLE PLAN, Microsoft announced an agreement with #Ubisoft to buy the Cloud Gaming rights of Activision Blizzard to mitigate concerns of its ABK acquisition by the regulator CMA. Under the restructured transaction, Microsoft will not be in a position either to release Activision Blizzard games exclusively on Xbox Cloud Gaming or to exclusively control the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games for rival services. On Ubisoft's end, the company will compensate Microsoft for the cloud streaming rights to Activision Blizzard’s games through a one-off payment and through a market-based wholesale pricing mechanism, including an option that supports pricing based on usage. Also, Ubisoft can add Activision Blizzard games on Ubisoft+ on the UK market. Interestingly, the CMA responded that the Ubisoft deal would also mean that games needs to be reached through Linux-based computers & not exclusively on Windows computers (probably macOS too). Finally & to add a little pressure, the CMA confirmed that this development and remade deal needs new scrutiny, which has a deadline date of Oct 18th, 2023. Hypothetically CMA taking this long, puts the ABK's Termination Fee raise if the deal fell agains Microsoft in effect. #Gaming #GamingNews
