Rocksmith+ Is A Subscription Service For Learning Guitar And Bass

Ubisoft has announced a new addition in the Rocksmith franchise with Rocksmith+, a subscription service that aims to help you learn guitar and bass. You can connect your instrument to your PC, console or mobile device and practice by playing along with master recordings of a variety of songs. 

Rocksmith+ works with acoustic instruments and amps as well, since you can use your phone's microphone to pick up what you're playing. So there’s no need for any extra gear. You'll get real-time feedback as you're playing, and songs will have adaptive difficulty. You'll be able to control playback speed, so you can slow tracks down and really get to grips with them. Rocksmith+ will feature a variety of genres, not just rock and metal. Pop, hip hop, country, Latin and R&B tunes will be apart of the game too. 

Every song will have chord charts for rhythm players and there will be note-by-note "authentic arrangements," too. You'll be able to create your own arrangements for licensed songs through the Rocksmith Workshop as well. Rocksmith+ will cost you $15 a month or $100 a year. A release date wasn’t given, however, you can sign up now for a closed beta on PC.

Ubisoft Delays Gods & Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine, And Watch Dogs: Legion

During Ubisoft's financial earnings call, the publisher announced that it will be delaying 3 f it upcoming titles. Gods & Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Watch Dogs: Legion will now release in 2020-2021 fiscal year.

Ubisoft's CEO and Co-Founder Yves Guillemot stated that the reason for the delays was to give each developer more time to craft its vision of each game. 

Gods & Monsters and Watch Dogs: Legion both had release dates for February and March of next year, and the company did not give the titles new release dates. However, Guillemot did mention that the three delayed games would be a part of a year with five total AAA titles. Given how crazy the first half of the year is with releases (Cyberpunk, Finally Fanastay VII Remake, Doom Eternal, etc) theses delays are for the better in more ways then one. 

A Battle Pass Is Coming To Rainbow Six Siege

Ubisoft has announced that Rainbow Six Siege will soon have a battle pass system. It will introduce a new progression track for players that unlocks cosmetics, renown boosters, and new operator lore. It will roll out in two phases, first with a free 7-day pass "Call Me Harry" for Ember Rise. Later this year, a full-fledged battle pass will premiere with Rainbow Six Siege's season 4.

Your progression will be judged on how often you play instead of competing a challenge. You'll collect "battle points" every match which will eventually get you to the next level of the battle pass.

Just Dance 2020 Will Be Released On The Wii

During Ubisoft’s E3 presentation, it was announced that Just Dance 2020 will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch and Wii (yes, the Wii, that wasn’t a typo) on November 5th, 2019. Check out the trailer below.
