Dengeki Online is working with Square Enix on a special promo. Those who fill out Japanese surveys can receive a code for the Donnerjäger Bow in Bravely Default, usable for the Hunters and Thieves jobs. You can find images (including a rough sketch of the bow) above.
Depending on the reaction to Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft’s new IP “could” alternate with Assassin’s Creed on a yearly basis.
VideoGamer asked creative director Jonathan Morin about the chances of the two franchises switching off each year. Morin was a bit hesitant to say anything either way, but left the door open to the possibility.
He said:
“Could be. I don’t know. Right now I’m focussing on Watch Dogs The Game, and we’ll see when it comes out and people can scream their reaction and afterwards we’ll see what happens. There’s no point in being hasty about those things afterwards. Let’s just wait and see and not be cocky about it.”
Assassin’s Creed producer Martin Schelling and lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant have spoke a little about the Wii U visuals found in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
The two told ExpansiveDLC that the game is somewhere between current-gen and next-gen versions. It’s also been confirmed that the game’s companion app will be compatible with the Wii U release.
“It will be I think, in between the current gen and next gen consoles. We could have had some of the tools from the companion on the second screen, but because the companion app will be available with Wii U too we didn’t include them.”
I assume Wii U will be receiving the new skin… at some point.
