Ubisoft surprises with his alliance with Mario and rescues (finally) «Beyond Good & Evil 2»

The French multinational presents more details of two of the next titles of its most important sagas, "Assassins Creed: Origins" and "Far Cry 5" and reveals a tactical action title that mixes the universe of the Nintendo plumber with the "rabbids"

   Entertaining and surprising. The French multinational Ubisoft has gone from less to more in its conference at the E3 video game fair in Los Angeles , where it has highlighted above all the collaboration with Nintendo and the sensational (and expected) sequel to the title of third-person adventures «Beyond: Good & Evil 2» .

And that started strong with the presence of the "father" of Mario Bros, Shigeru Miyamoto , who presented a video game role and tactical action that mixes the characters of two sagas of both companies, the famous plumber and the friendly rabbits. The result, "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle" , will be available for the Nintendo Switch from August 29. A madness full of unbridled action.

From a very visual and colorful aesthetic, the idea proposed by the game eliminates from the equation the platforms to focus on a turn-based combat system and a crazy plot where the Ubisoft rabbits teleport to the Mushroom Kingdom , where they will encounter Some of the famous characters of Nintendo, Mario, Luigi or Yoshi .

Although it had been seen in previous presentations, the gala firm revealed more details of "Assassins Creed: Origins" , the next installment in the series of action games and adventures in third person that this time will endorse its power with a higher graphic quality and small, substantial changes such as a deeper melee combat system, role elements, level ups and the presence of an eagle as a tracking tool.


The title will recreate Ancient Egypt , which will serve as a scenario for the exploration of environments, discover the secrets of the beginning of the Brotherhood of the Assassins and ride not only on horseback but also on camels.

Will be released on October 27 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC , with technical improvements for more advanced desktop consoles like PlayStation 4 Pro and the future Xbox One X . With a whole country to explore, from deserts to lush oases, from the Mediterranean Sea to the tombs of Giza, players will fight dangerous groups and wild beasts as they tour this vast and unpredictable land.

But not only "murderers" lives Ubisoft. With great strength was spoken of the violent « Far Cry 5 », saga of video games of action and open world in the first person, that on this occasion will send the gamers to the deep America. Set in a Montana full of extremist sects and organizations, the title will also incorporate a new system of cooperation with colleagues that will allow the user to order and give instructions during combat.

Unexpected surprise was « Skull & Bones », a new pirate-cut videogame that will pose naval battles as if it were an extension of one of the most captivating activities of « Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag ». The proposed idea is to focus not only on a single player (you can play alone), but open to online competition with five-on-five teams.

Also another new franchise will be " Starlink: Battle of Atlas ", an original game of spacecraft that, without captivating on a graphic level, will rely on the sale of replicas of vehicles as toys (thus following the wake of the amiibo figures) they can be played by coupling them to the controls and, with that, to personalize the skills. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in the fall of next year.

Equally unexpected was "Transference," a title based on virtual reality technology that will land in early 2018. It will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and compatible with the PlayStation VR and HTC Vive glasses. Although few details of it were given, it will pose secrets and challenges for the mind with a retro setting.

Another that will also arrive next year will be among other titles presented highlighted " The Crew 2 ", a sequel to the driving and open world video game that, for this occasion, has been opened to other vehicles. It will go beyond the four wheels. Thus, car racing through the city and the countryside, boats, by sea or even small planes. «Steep», winter sports game, will also receive its first expansion in December, « Road to the Olympics », coinciding with the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games.

Ubisoft took advantage of the conference to announce, in passing, two new titles such as " South Park: Rearguard in danger ", which will be available on October 17 (and an adaptation for mobile devices), as well as the new installment of the dance video game « Just Dance »for this year, which will be released on October 26
