LEGO City: Undercover is being made by TT Fusion as opposed to the main TT Knutsford team. Undercover is Fusion’s first real shot at a console game.

Executive producer Loz Doyle explained the relationship between the two teams while speaking with Eurogamer:

“I think it’s fair to say that a lot of the guys here are very keen to work on consoles. At the same time, we do share the technology, so the engine was done in Knutsford. The cutscene team is shared. There’s quite a lot of crossover really. It feels like a team effort.”

Believe it or not, LEGO City: Undercover has been in the works for three years. Numerous prototypes – including one involving a Sim City-esque construction element – were considered when work began in 2010, and at that point, Nintendo wasn’t in the picture. The Big N approached the team in 2011, which was when Undercover started to round into form.

“That’s when Nintendo came to see us. They brought the Wii U with them, with the new game pad. We could instantly see it was a perfect match. All the design guys were like ‘Oh my god, the things we can do with this’. It just seemed to fit perfectly.”

Above you’ll find what is apparently a screenshot from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. We won’t be able to verify its validity until Ubisoft announces the project, but it certainly looks real for now.

An Examiner report indicates that Edward Kenway will take center stage in Black Flag. Players way recognize the “Kenway” name from Assassin’s Creed III – Edward is Haytham Kenway’s father. Edward is described as “a Privateer, Assassin and occasional pirate.”

Assassin’s Creed IV will take place in the Caribbean. Gamers will venture into different islands such as Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas throughout the adventure.

Darby McDevitt is on board as Assassin Creed IV’s lead script writer. Black Flag is rumored to ship on both current-gen and next-gen consoles.

Devil Summoner Soul Hackers features a ton of voice acting. Atlus did manage to localize the game to its fullest, but voices have been “cut back just a touch” for the North American version.

According to Atlus’ Alex Armour:

“We did not shy away from making the game fully English voiced. It’s almost as much as the JP version but it is cut back just a touch. It’s still a very robust production for voicing.”

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is due out in April. The 3DS release will mark the first time that the game will be available in North America.
