Ubisoft’s Mysterious Project Q Has Been Cancelled
Don’t worry, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has survived Ubisoft’s recent game cull
It’s been 14 years since RPS started writing about Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ubisoft’s open world follow up to the cult classic I’m too young to have played. We haven’t seen hide nor genetically modified pig tail of it since 2018, but rest assured, it lives.
That’s despite the most recent swing of Ubisoft’s game-cancelling scythe, which was brought down on three unannounced games last week due to the company’s underperforming sales.
Rainbow Six: Sleeze – Hackers spam Ubisoft’s shooter with this cock
Rainbow Six: Siege players are receiving unexpected in-game gifts as of late, as hackers have found out how to post images directly to their screens via the ban messages. As a result, memes, NSFW material, and a peculiar looking cock (as in the animal) have been popping up mid-match.
Typically these ban messages just show the usernames of accounts caught by Rainbow Six: Siege’s anti-cheat to all players in-game, acting as a kind of permanent flex and reminder that the team are constantly bashing Ne’er-do-wells with the ban hammer.
However, since hackers have figured out how to display any image they like rather than the usual ban message, this ban announcement has transformed into a funnel that devious players can use to funnel whatever jokes and inappropriate content they want directly into the eyesight of the wider community.
Dead by Daylight new map could be a crossover with Ubisoft’s For Honor
Dead by Daylight and For Honor don’t seem like the most natural of companions, with the multiplayer horror game from Behavior and action-adventure from Ubisoft coming from entirely different backgrounds and genres. But according to a leaker who correctly anticipated the launch of Wesker and the DBD Resident Evil crossover, the new Dead by Daylight map could in fact be inspired by the 2017 Ubi action game.

Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell remake will be “rewriting and updating” the story for today’s players
The remake of classic stealth ‘em up Splinter Cell will be rewritten and updated for a “modern-day audience”, according to a job posting for the project. Ubisoft Toronto are looking for a scriptwriter for the new Splinter Cell, which they say uses the original as a “foundation” and aims at a “new audience of Splinter Cell fans”. I hate to break it to you Ubisoft, but I’m not certain that the kids dig Tom Clancy military espionage hijinks.
Tencent are working in concert with Ubisoft’s founding family after €300m investment
Chinese media giants Tencent have invested €300 million (£260 million) in the company operated by Ubisoft’s founding family, the Guillemots. The deal will see Tencent bring some of Ubisoft’s most well known game series to mobile, and to PC in China. Tencent’s investment in Guillemot Brothers Limited follows speculation last month that they were looking to take out a bigger stake in Ubisoft, even becoming the single largest shareholders.
Rocksmith+, Ubisoft’s learn-to-play-guitar game, finally rocks out next week
Ubisoft’s Rocksmith+ guitar learning service arrives on PC next week
Ubisoft’s Rocksmith+ subscription service will arrive on September 6th, the publisher announced today. Following a nearly year-long delay, the guitar learning platform will be available on PC exclusively through the Ubisoft Store. With 5,000 songs available at lunch, including tunes from Alicia Keys, The Clash and Santana, Ubisoft claims Rocksmith+ will feature the “largest catalog of official songs ever offered in a music learning service.” Additionally, the company has pledged to add “millions” of more tracks in the future.
If you played a previous Rocksmith release or participated in the closed beta, you can take advantage of loyalty pricing. Subscribe for three months upfront and you’ll receive one month free. You can also prepay for a year of service and Ubisoft will give you an additional three months for free. One-, three- and 12-month subscriptions are priced at $15, $40 and $100 per respective billing period.
You will need a way to connect your electric, acoustic or bass guitar to your computer. Your first option is to download the Rocksmith Plus Connect app on an iOS or Android device. It will use your phone’s built-in microphone to detect your playing. Alternatively, you can use Ubisoft’s Rocksmith Real Tone Cable to connect your instrument. The advantage offered by the latter option is that you can add effects to your playing. Ubisoft notes it’s also possible to use a third-party audio interface, but not every single one will work and the company won’t offer you technical support in that case.
Notably, Ubisoft makes no mention of the previously announced PlayStation and Xbox versions of Rocksmith+. It does note, however, that the mobile release will arrive this fall.
