E3 2015 is less than two weeks away, and companies are beginning to ramp up their pre-E3 hype machines. This includes Ubisoft, which has unveiled some of what it has planned for the annual Ubisoft Conference.

While E3 doesn’t officially kick off until June 16, many companies have their own press conferences before the event proper begins. Ubisoft has planned its conference for June 15 at 2:45 p.m. PDT at the Orpheum Theatre. Aisha Tyler will return to MC the event. For those who won’t be attending E3, Ubisoft will be streaming its press conference on YouTube, Twitch, and its own Uplay.

The company hasn’t announced everything it plans to show, but it has mentioned that it will be showing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and The Division. In addition to these games, Ubisoft promises that it will be showing some previously unannounced titles as well.

Two of the games Ubisoft is showing — Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege are set to ship this year, but The Division was recently delayed (again) to 2016.

Those attending E3 won’t be stuck just watching footage of the games. Ubisoft will have a booth (#1023) in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. The company will also be bringing back the Uplay Lounge where attendees can get hands-on time with the games and “hang out with the developers and compete with other fans.”

Ubisoft will also be hosting a series of “Master Classes” at the Uplay Lounge, where developers do live playthroughs of the games the company is showing. These events will also be streamed live on Twitch.

“E3 is always a very special moment for the entire gaming community because we all come together to share our visions for the future of entertainment and reveal the games into which we’ve been pouring our energy and passion,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said. “The players’ excitement and feedback when they first experience what we’re developing is what motivates us the most.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.
