Hello Reapers,
Few game announcements and a badass playstation bundle have been revealed. 

ASSASSIN’S CREED CHRONICLES TRILOGY ANNOUNCED

the first “chronicle” will take place in China, where players will experience the downfall of the Ming dynasty. The remaining two entries, set in Russia and India, detail the aftermath of the Red October revolution and the waring Sikh Empire, respectively.

Climax Studios is handling development on this trio of titles in conjunction with Ubisoft Montreal. The games will feature a 2.5D perspective, each with their own distinct art style.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 21 in both North and South America, followed by a release in European territories a day later. The remaining two installments, aptly titled Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, will release as separate entries sometime in the future.

Each chronicle will be priced at $10 USD, and those with the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass will be able to download ACC: China at no extra cost.

PLAYSTATION PLUS APRIL 2015 GAMES REVEALED

Sony has revealed the six new titles coming to PS Plus subscribers next month.

It’ll be available for both PS4 and PS3 owners, as will Aaru’s Awakening, a 2D action-platformer. You’re in charge of a mythical creature who has to juggle his teleportation and charging skills to make it through the levels.

PS4 owners, meanwhile, will get access to Never Alone, the puzzle-platformer that explores the world of Alaska Native stories alongside your fox companion. Anyone who owns a PS3 and hasn’t been to Dunwall will finally have the opportunity, as Dishonored arrives as part of the Instant Game Collection.

Finally, Vita owners will have the chance to try out Killzone: Mercenary, or the puzzle-platformer MonsterBag.

MORTAL KOMBAT X ADDED TREMOR DUE TO FAN DEMAND

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has revealed Tremor was added to the roster of the latest instalment in the series following fan demand.

Speaking to Gamespot, Boon explained that while most of the time fans want so many conflicting things it’s impossible to please everyone, the unified demand for Tremor to come back led to his inclusion.

“Character roster stuff has been a big one,” he said. “There’s a really big push for the obscure character we have, Tremor, which I got so many tweets from players wanting that character. It actually stood out to me as odd, but there was this swell of people pushing for it with petitions online and all of this crazy stuff, so we included him, and a big reason was because of fans yelling loud enough.”

First appearing in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, Tremor wears the typical ninja-style garb and mask we know and love from Scorpion and Sub-Zero’s Mortal Kombat 3 era, only brown. A member of the Black Dragon clan who seeks retribution against Kano for abandoning him in prison, he was partially playable in the additional Challenge Tower in 2011’s Mortal Kombat on Vita, but MKX marks the first time he’ll be properly playable.

Anyone wanting to play as Tremor will need to pick him up via the game’s Kombat Pack

METAL GEAR MOVIE GETS A NEW SCREENWRITER

Remember the Metal Gear Solid movie announced in 2012? Well it’s apparently still happening, and it has a new screenwriter!

Deadline reports that up-and-coming British writer Jay Basu has been hired by Sony Pictures to pen the film, helmed by The Kings of Summer directer Jordan Vogt-Roberts. Basu’s most prolific credit to date is as a co-writer on last year’s Monsters: Dark Continent, but he’s nonetheless in demand – Universal tapped him last year for their classic monster movie relaunch.

XBOX ONE DX12 UPGRADE UNLIKELY TO BOOST
THE WITCHER 3’S RESOLUTION

The upcoming Direct X12 upgrade for Xbox One likely won’t improve The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s 900p resolution, according to CD Projekt RED.

In response to a fan on Twitter, game designer Damien Monnier explained that a notable resolution boost for the Xbox One version of its upcoming action-RPG would likely require more than just an upgrade to DX12.
