Just Dance 2014 will shuffle into stores on October 8, with Katy Perry's "Roar" available on launch day as free DLC.

Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Pirates today, a mobile naval combat game that takes place alongside Assassin's Creed 4.

Look, I've written for Shacknews for four years so I'm familiar with the demographic. I know that you, dear reader, are probably not hugely excited about Ubisoft annualising the Just Dance series, even if Just Dance 2014's announcement today does confirm another next-gen launch title. But, get this: of the ten songs revealed so far for Just Dance 2014, a whopping 20% are by Nicki Minaj. Oh, now you're interested!

No, CGI trailers don't represent gameplay. Yes, they are fluffy marketing to get you unduly excited. But by gum, the cinematic E3 trailer for Ubisoft's open-world cybervigilante 'em up Watch Dogs is awfully pretty, if a bit eerie. We can still enjoy it as an attractive and well-made video for our enjoyment which by pure chance is somehow connected to a video game. Call it tone-setting and world-building, if you must.

Ubisoft had hinted at a Wii U edition of open-world hack 'em up Watch Dogs before, but only formally confirmed it last night alongside the announcement of a PlayStation 4 version. No, obviously it didn't drop this news during Sony's big shindig, but in a press release afterwards.

How would you like to play Ghost Recon for free? Well, that depends on how it's monetised, doesn't it? Ubisoft launched the Ghost Recon Online open beta today at Gamescom, letting all and sundry try the free-to-play multiplayer FPS and judge whether the fun of shooting men outweighs the annoyance of microtransactions.

The PC edition of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has been delayed by another two weeks, making it arrive five weeks after the console launch. And, as always, Ubisoft has given no explanation for this delay.

Ubisoft announced today that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will get its first downloadable content pack on July 3. Titled the "Arctic Strike Map Pack," it will include some maps (obviously), a new mode, a co-op map, and more weapons.
