Ubisoft is sending out mysterious invitations for some sort of Assassin’s Creed event taking place next week. MCV writes on Twitter that the invite lists a February 27 date, which would be next Wednesday.

Might it be time for the reveal of Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game? During the company’s latest financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot teased that information would be shared “very soon”.

Not much is known about the next Assassin’s Creed. What we do know is that it will feature a new hero and time setting, and is being developed by an “all new team”.

The next Assassin’s Creed will launch before April 2014.

A new Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney art book is now available. The product launched in Japan last week.

One of the book’s pages contains a rather interesting illustration. It seems that “Dark Phoenix” was initially considered for the 3DS game, but didn’t make the final cut for some reason.

I wonder… what other secrets does this art book hold?

Before you watch the next episode I want to say two things:

1) A massive thank you to Andrew Nixon, who drew this wonderful picture of me literally busting eggs! It was a great surprise to wake up to this morning, and you all should see quite a bit more of it going forward. With any luck I can convince him to draw us up a logo when the episodes “officially” begin around episode 10. Right, Andrew!?

2) I did one of those cheap split-the-episode-in-two things to try and get people to watch both halves, but after seeing how it turned out I think I’ll just stick with the one-glitch-per-part thing I’ve done in the past. So if you’re going to complain about that, don’t– it has already been nixed. :]

Enjoy!

Part two after the break!

Disney Infinity isn’t being entirely made by Avalanche Software. There’s at least one other studio assisting on the project as well.

On Facebook, Studio Gobo posted a message confirming its involvement with the project. Gobo has been assigned to handle the Pirates of the Caribbean playset.

The notice in full:

“If you see any boats or pirates — that’s the bit that we are working on at Gobo. We’re responsible for the Pirates of the Caribbean playset in Disney Infinity. Very proud.”

Could Gobo be working on other playsets along with Pirates? And might there be other studios developing Disney Infinity?

To celebrate the release of Dragon Quest X for Wii U in March, Nintendo has teamed up with Square Enix for a limited edition pre-paid card. Aside from the pretty artwork, there isn’t much different about the card. You’ll pay 3,000 yen for use on Nintendo’s online shops.

Some may think of Resident Evil: Revelations’ console release as a port, but there is a healthy amount of new content in the game. Users will be able to play as Hunk in Raid mode (which also has new weapons), take on a new enemy type, and experience a tougher difficulty level.

Capcom has also touched up the game’s visuals significantly. Resident Evil: Revelations Tsukasa Takenaka told Joystiq:

“The models have been almost completely redone, the lighting filters, those kind of effects that consoles can do, has been redone from scratch and it’s definitely something where we’ve made the game into something that’s a whole new version for consoles.”

In a video posted to the official Rayman Facebook page, Rayman Legends creative director Michel Ancel and senior game manager Michael Micholic showed appreciation for fans’ support resulting from Ubisoft’s decision to push the game back on Wii U. Micholic said that it “definitely hurt us to see you guys so upset about the delay.”

Ubisoft previously said that it would be making an exclusive Legends demo available to Wii U owners. This won’t actually be happening. Instead, Ancel and Micholic confirmed that the company will release Rayman Legends’ full online challenge mode exclusively on Nintendo’s console, via the eShop.

Here’s the rundown of the download:

– Online challenge mode will be accessible through the main hub
– New challenges daily and weekly, each with their own leaderboards
– Challenges in 5 different settings with unique gameplay styles
– Deadly pit, land of the dead, infernal tower, dojo, dungeon
– Dungeon challenge created exclusively for Wii U
– All challenges can be played alone or up to 5 players
– Invite friends, filter the competition
– Each result recorded on the leaderboard and as a ghost
– History system saves all performances, trophies earned

The Rayman Legends online challenge mode will be hitting the Wii U eShop in early April as a free download. Micholic said it will be “playable for countless hours”.
