A new piece of important Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC is out today in North America.
Players can now purchase the “Future Past 1” map, which involves the rescue of Cynthia, Kjelle, Noire and Nah. The four characters have been trapped in a prison. The map does indeed depict the alternate future that has the adult characters’ living on, and along the way, you’ll encounter special conversation between the parents and kids.
You can purchase the “Future Past 1” map for $3. It is, however, possible to download the full three maps for $6.50. Maps 2 and 3 will be unlocked at a later date.
Atlus won’t be publishing Devil Survivor 2: Break Record in Japan this summer as initially expected.
Today, the company announced that the 3DS game has been delayed to autumn. It was originally scheduled to launch on July 11.
Atlus apologized for the delay in its announcement, but said that extra time will be used to improve the quality of Break Record.
Not one, but two high-profile Assassin’s Creed developers are gone from Ubisoft.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets had departed from the company, but official comments from Désilets imply that he was forcefully removed.
Assassin’s Creed producer and former THQ Montreal colleague Jean-François Boivin is also out from Ubisoft, Désilets confirmed via Twitter:
Thinking of my good friend and producer @jfboivin who also got fired yesterday. I’m sharing your support with him…

Boivin’s initial run with Ubisoft began in 2005, and eventually took over as production manager and associate producer on Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Boivin moved on to THQ Montreal in 2010.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is, in many ways, identical to the original Wii version. However, one small element that the 3DS release lacks is idle animations.
Some of you may remember that Donkey Kong pulled out a DS if you left him alone for a small period of time. You won’t be seeing that in the 3DS game, unfortunately. It’s not a big omission, but you have to wonder why it was removed.
