Operation Wind Bastion Detailed by Ubisoft
/ Carlos HernandezUbisoft has spilled the beans on final season of Rainbow Six: Siege’s year three of content - Operation Wind Bastion.
In Wind Bastion, aside from the free map called Fortress, players gain two new operators; the Attacker Nomad, and the Defender Kaid.
The Operators
The Attacker Nomad brings with her the airjab launcher and proximity triggered air blast grenade, which pushes Defenders and putting them in a state where they have to recover from the blast, leaving them vulnerable for a few seconds. With her breaching the objective, defenders will have to think twice before hunkering down at a secured spot. Her push effect affects multiple Defenders and can affected Defender can go through breakable walls, which can lead to hilarious situations. The blast from her gadget does no damage.
The Defender Kaid is equipped with the gadget called the Rtila Electro Claw, a throwable gadget that can attach to all surfaces in the map. Once attached to a surface, the Electro Claw electrifies all metallic objects in its proximity: reinforced walls, barbed wire, deployable shields, even reinforced hatches below or above. Kaid is similar to what Bandit provides in the game but with more options to reinforce your defense. Kaid has three Rtila Electro Claws and has a slow build up time before the gadget electrifies other objects.
The new map coming for free is called Fortress. In Ubisoft’s words, Fortress is a “mudbrick Kasbah inspired by the iconic architecture from the southern region of Morocco. It is a military training facility that features a good rotation between floors, an accessible roof and many dangerous lines of sight and flanking routes.”.
No release date was given for the last season of Year Three, but you can try out Operation Wind Bastion on Rainbow Six’s test servers starting this week.
Ubisoft’s The Crew Motorfest is getting updated this week with its Season 3 of content called ‘Hollywood Action!’. To celebrate, Ubisoft is hosting the game’s first free weekend starting March 15, allowing all players from various platforms to play the full game for a limited time.
Ubisoft announced that The Crew 2 has received its final major update after 6 years of live service. Titled “Mad Vol.2” the last update introduces optimized content rotation aimed to deliver an unlimited amount of player-created content.
Ubisoft’s pirate naval combat game Skull and Bones is finally out in the wild through PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In case you are still on the fence about the game, anybody can try out the game for free for up to eight hours.
If you’re a fan of the Metroidvania genre, or action platforming games in general, I couldn’t recommend Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown more. The Lost Crown nimbly juggles combat, character progression, platforming, exploration, environmental puzzle-solving, boss encounters, and storytelling, all without neglecting one element to the detriment of another.
Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones is all set to launch as the company just announced that the open beta for their online naval game is happening on February 8 and will be live for players to try until February 11. Ubisoft also detailed the game’s Year 1 content coming out after the game officially launches on February 16.
A free demo of Ubisoft’s upcoming metroidvania action platformer Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is now available on PS5, PS4 Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC through the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a familiar open-world formula that is a perfect match for this adventure, as this is a planet with so much care and thought put in that despite its flaws, I found myself itching to explore what’s beyond all those floating rocks. But if you’re not on board with how Ubisoft does open-world games, then you’ll be struggling with half of the game’s core pillars right off the bat.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is here and if you are about to load up the game, here are a few tips and tricks to get you started as you begin roaming the streets of 9th-century Baghdad.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is proof that the original, stealthy approach to the series’ formula still works just fine in 2023; Ubisoft’s commitment and focus on a single concept is a testament to its core strengths. Mirage lacks ambition, but it’s a welcome correction from recent bloated series entries.
We are now less than a month until the next mainline Assassin’s Creed title, and Ubisoft has released the recommended PC specs for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. They also released a new video showcasing the visual features you can expect in the PC version of the game.
Ubisoft shared more details about the closed beta for the greatly delayed pirate game Skull and Bones happening on August 25 until August 28 via PC only through their launcher Ubisoft Connect.
Ubisoft revealed that they are supporting their platformer Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown through the rest of 2024 with post-launch content as the game’s roadmap shows three free major content drops and a story DLC to be release later this year.
