Ubisoft was one of the busiest bees at Gamescom this week, making a host of announcements and pumping out lots of trailers.
Quite honestly we can’t be bothered to give each announcement its own news post, so here’s a round-up of the best that Ubisoft has to offer.
Watch Dogs 2 Bounty Hunter mode
Bounty Hunter promises to enrich the online component of Watch_Dogs 2, which is seamlessly integrated with the single player experience.
The mode is tied to the police heat system and playable by two to four players. When a player creates too much chaos in the open world and is pursued by the police, the conflict may trigger a Bounty Hunter PVP event, pitting the target against up to three rival hunter players who seamlessly join the pursuit and try to neutralise the target. Additionally, players can manually trigger a bounty on themselves using the Contacts app on Marcus’ in-game phone.
For Honor multiplayer modes and closed alpha test
For Honor’s multiplayer modes are playable with and against other players or bots in split-screen coop on consoles. These multiplayer modes offer each player a different way to live the fantasy of being a skilled melee warrior on a believable battlefield:
- Dominion is a 4v4 objective-based mode in which two teams of four players fight for control of the battlefield. It’s a mode that relies upon skill, communication and teamwork.
- Brawl 2v2: Each team of two players need to kill the two enemy Heroes to win a round. Skill, awareness, cooperation and the capacity to use the environment to the player’s advantage are key components.
- Duel 1v1 puts two Heroes face-to-face in a fight to the death. Skill is fundamental in Duel, but as in Brawl, players have the possibility to use the environment to their advantage.
- Skirmish is a 4v4 Team Death Match mode. Combat skills are key, as players score points for their team by killing enemy Heroes.
- Elimination In this 4v4 mode, the last surviving player on the battlefield wins the round for their team.
The For Honor Closed Alpha playtest will take place September 15-18 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Visit forhonorgame.com to sign up.
