IGN has a first look at a new extreme track in Trials Rising known as Hong Kong Harbor. Get a look at it in the video below.

German retailer MediaMarkt has listed Assassin’s Creed Compilation for Switch as well as other platforms. The page includes a tentative March 29 release date. No further information is provided, including which titles would potentially be included.

Unlike retailers that have a reputation for accuracy such as Amazon or GameFly, we can’t be certain that the Assassin’s Creed Compilation listing is spot on. For now, we advise taking it with a grain of salt. If Ubisoft makes any announcements in the future, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Ubisoft has prepared a new update for Brawlhalla. Version 3.33 is starting to go live, which features the new Legend called Dusk, Rayman’s debut in the Legend Rotation, improvements, and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

This week, Ubisoft issued one of the first patches for Starlink: Battle for Atlas at nearly 2GB. Labeled as a “technical update,” it adds colorblind support, quality of life improvements, and bug fixes.

The full patch notes are as follows:

Starlink: Battle for Atlas

We’ve known that Virtuos worked on the Switch version of Starlink: Battle for Atlas. But as it turns out, the studio was extremely involved and handled a significant amount of development on Nintendo’s console. GamesIndustry spoke with senior technical director Jonathan Boldiga about what the process was like.

According to Boldiga, creating Starlink for Switch wasn’t easy. Ubisoft apparently “had very high standards in terms of what they wanted on the Switch platform” and the team had to do what it could to maintain visual parity across Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In the end, Boldiga believes they were able to deliver “one of the best-looking Switch titles out there.”

Even though Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is the best-selling third-party game title for Switch and Starlink: Battle for Atlas heavily featured Star Fox, Nintendo still makes up a small percentage of Ubisoft’s earnings. A recent report shows that sales on Nintendo platforms only made up 3% of their overall sales in Quarter 2 of 2018, less than when Mario + Rabbids was a newer release. It’s interesting data but doesn’t mean Ubisoft isn’t continuing to prioritize their partnership with Nintendo, just that it has much more content pointed towards other consoles and PC.
