Developed by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios, Assassin’s Creed Rogue takes players to new adventures set in the mid-18th century during the Seven Years War. Starting in 1752, players follow Shay Patrick Cormac, a former member of the Brotherhood who turned into an Assassin Hunter and experience the Assassin’s Creed universe through the eyes of a Templar. Assassin’s Creed Rogue gives players new locations across North America to explore, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley and New York. Assassin’s Creed Rogue for Windows PC has been adapted by Ubisoft Kiev.

The Assassin’s Creed Rogue PC development team in Kiev has partnered with Tobii Tech to incorporate eye tracking input as part of the gameplay. With Assassin’s Creed Rogue being the first game of this scale to incorporate this technology, players will be immersed in the Assassin’s Creed universe thanks in part to the “infinite screen” experience the Tobii Tech will provide.

A Collector’s Bundle is available for Assassin’s Creed Rogue PC exclusively on Uplay Shop. It includes a collector’s box, an art book, 3 lithographs in an envelope and the original game soundtrack. Players will also get access to two extra single player quests and additional in-game items.

Gamer Network moves into physical games publishing

Gamer Network, the world’s leading network of independent video games websites and producer of the UK’s premiere video games events, today announced the launch of Gamer’s Edition. Produced in partnership with veteran collectibles producer Idea Planet, Gamer’s Edition creates premium collector’s editions of cult games, enabling digital releases and indie games to offer the same physical special editions as big-budget PC and console titles.

Gamers Edition

Each Gamer’s Edition is built around one-of-a-kind collectibles, which are developed in close collaboration with the game’s developers and community and produced to order in one-off production runs. The crowdfunded pre-order system means that production commences only when there are enough orders to cover the manufacturing costs. By creating every package to order, Gamer’s Edition can deliver truly individual items directly to fans and enable independent game creators to offer collector’s editions that rival the biggest console releases. In addition, the platform offers great business value to developers as it avoids the typical production costs associated with releasing a collector’s edition.

papers please

Gamer’s Edition launches with two iconic and highly regarded indie games:

  • Papers, Please – the Gamer’s Edition for this multi-award-winning dystopian document thriller is modelled on the kit the player receives when they win the Labor Lottery in the grim nation of Arstotzka. Each inspector’s case includes a Steam key, Arstotkan stamps, inkpad, poster, passport, Immigration Rule Book, paperwork set, Labor Lottery keyring and inspector’s pin badge. The Papers, Please Gamer’s Edition retails for $70.

●        Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 double-pack – in celebration of Hotline Miami 2’s release, this special Gamer’s Edition has been created to the exact specification of series creator Dennaton Games, which is designing bespoke packaging elements specifically for Gamer’s Edition. It includes both games on DVD for the first time, presented in custom DVD packaging, along with Steam keys for both games, a C90 soundtrack mixtape, comic, “Cameo” trading cards, 50 Blessings spray paint stencil and custom art card. The Hotline Miami Gamer’s Edition retails for $60.

Gamer’s Edition was set up to create awesome collector’s editions for games that previously couldn’t deliver them”, said Jon Hicks, Head of Gamer’s Edition. “We realised that digitally-distributed indie games were taking up almost as much of our gaming time as the megabucks triple-A stuff, but they didn’t have much in the way of cooler toys or accessories because the developers don’t have the time or the resources to create them”.

“By partnering with Idea Planet, we’ve been able to deliver the quality of blockbuster collectibles for our favourite indie games, and by making them to order we ensure that we only create things that the community really wants. Our goal is to work with both developers and players to come up with high-quality special editions that are as unique as the games themselves”.

Mike Flecker, founder of Idea Planet, believes this is an amazing opportunity for independent developers and fans alike. “This partnership gives the game creators a unique opportunity to bring their digital creations into the real world, while giving true fans the ability to participate in the process and own a physical artefact of the game”.

Gamer’s Edition is live now at www.gamersedition.com.

TheVillage3DDVD

The critically acclaimed TV drama THE VILLAGE is back for a highly anticipated second series set in the roaring twenties. Series one was nominated for three Television BAFTAs and is one not to be missed as the story of one Peak District village moves into the jazz age. THE VILLAGE is seen through the prism of Bert Middleton’s eyes – the young man who never leaves the village but sees the world transform around him. Catch the epic story that charts the life and turbulent times of one English village through the 20th Century as THE VILLAGE: THE COMPLETE SERIES 2 comes to DVD on 9th March 2015, courtesy of Entertainment One.

From creator and writer Peter Moffat (Silk, Criminal Justice), series 2 features a returning stellar cast alongside the addition of much-loved British talent including: John Simm (Life On Mars, Doctor Who) as John Middleton, a Peak District alcoholic farmer; Maxine Peake (Silk, Shameless) as John’s wife, Grace Middleton; Julian Sands (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Killing Fields) as political sponsor, Lord Kilmartin; Juliet Stevenson (White Heat, Truly Madly Deeply) as Clem Allingham of the Allingham estate; Nico Mirallegro (Upstairs Downstairs, My Mad Fat Diary) as the eldest Middleton son, Joe Middleton; Juliet Aubrey (The White Queen, The Constant Gardener) as family planning teacher, Joy Dangerfield; Ben Batt (Shameless, Scott & Bailey) as teenage bully, Alf Rutter; and making their acting debuts Bill Jones, Tom Varey, Alfie Stewart (Sadie J, Not Fade Away) and David Ryall (Trollied, Outnumbered) all star as central character, Bert Middleton.

It’s 1923. The Great War is over but what kind of England has won? Now in a world of boom and bust, motor cars and the Charleston, the twenties bring a blast of energy and freedom to the village; dance halls and jazz music are having their influence on the villager’s lives. As an election year divides and inspires, we will find the power of the woman’s vote has been sorely undervalued. That is until now, as the outside world continues to break down barriers, bringing with it big dramas and change.
