Tired of slaying cultists and wild animals in Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5? Perhaps you’d like to return to the Rook Islands, especially since Far Cry 3 Classic Edition is now available for Season Pass owners for Far Cry 5. A new trailer has been revealed, showcasing the kind of insanity that fans can expect.

The game’s story sees Jason Brody and his friends marooned on some islands, dealing with deadly pirates and attempting to survive. Brody eventually learns the art of survival and becomes a killing machine. He has plenty to deal with from the psychotic Vaas to the big bad Hoyt, not to mention the rebels and their “warrior goddess” Citra.

Far Cry 3 Classic Edition isn’t a remake or remaster – it’s a port of the 2012 version that released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Far Cry 5 Season Pass owners can currently pick it up on PS4, Xbox One and PC for no additional cost. However, those who don’t own the Season Pass need to wait till June 26th for its standalone release.

Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 is getting a Season Pass and it may contain some of the most outlandish DLC produced yet. It contains three DLC packs – Hours of Darkness, Dead Living Zombies and Lost on Mars – with the goal to “take players on three uncanny adventures with a unique Far Cry twist.”

Hours of Darkness sees players battling Viet Cong soldiers after going back in time while Dead Living Zombies presents several shlocky movie scenarios against zombies. Then there’s Lost on Mars where players will fight against Martian spider creatures. Furthermore, Season Pass owners will receive Far Cry 3: Classic Edition.

This version of the game only contains the single-player component and will come to PS4 and Xbox One owners. Though available as a standalone game in Summer 2018, it will be out four weeks early for Season Pass holders.

Far Cry 5 and its Season Pass will be packaged together in the Gold Edition if that’s more your liking. The game itself is out on March 27th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. We’ll learn more about the release dates for DLC shortly afterwards so stay tuned.

Monolith Productions’ Middle Earth: Shadow of War released a few weeks ago but if you’re already starving for stuff to do, then there won’t be a long wait. Publisher Warner Bros. talked more about the four expansions coming to the game with the $40 Season Pass with the first DLC out in November.

The Slaughter Tribe, as they’re called, are a new tribe that can ambush players out of the blue. The DLC will include new missions, a new fortress with an Overlord throne room, new monuments and outposts and of course, new Epic and Legendary Orcs. The second DLC is the Outlaw Tribe releasing in December and it will also add new missions, a new fortress, Overlord throne room and outposts, and new Epic and Legendary Orcs.

The Blade of Galadriel is a story expansion that will arrive in February 2018 and sees players controlling the assassin Eltarie who uses the “Light of Galadriel” for new abilities and skills. She’s also capable of equipping different gear. Look for new Nemesis characters like Flint and Tinder along with the Slayer of the Dead.

Then there’s the Desolation of Mordor expansion releasing in May 2018 where players control Baranor and fight a “new Orc threat” from the East. A new region, the Desert of Lithlad, will be added along with new gear. If you don’t want to purchase the Season Pass, then each DLC pack will cost $15 separately (with Desolation of Mordor costing $20).

On May 30th, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 owners on PC will receive free 30 day access to the four multiplayer DLC packs – Awakening, Eclipse, Descent and Salvation – for 30 days. This offer will start at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET/6 PM BST.

The DLC will be automatically downloaded for PC owners but you can stop the process if you desire. The DLC maps will be included in the usual playlists and add 16 maps onto the usual 12, making for 28 total maps to play on.

If you already own the DLC, then you’ll receive double XP while playing on the DLC maps. Season Pass owners will receive double XP across all multiplayer maps. Interestingly enough, the free Multiplayer DLC Trial Pack isn’t currently being offered to Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Xbox 360 players.

What are your thoughts on the offer though, especially with the Zombies Chronicles DLC having been released? Let us know in the comments below.

Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden, will be quite the experience. Along with full voice acting, revamped visuals and the classic battle system that’s defined the series, it will have a Season Pass that costs $45.

The Season Pass includes a whopping five DLC packs, each adding new maps, dungeons, classes and story missions. Each pack can be purchased separately and retails from $7.99 u to $14.99. Interestingly, the fifth DLC pack is yet to be outlined with more information promised in the future.

The first DLC pack arrives on May 19th with the game’s release. The second and third packs release on May 25th followed by the fourth on June 1st. That’s quite a bit of Fire Emblem content to go through in a month and Nintendo is also promising some free DLC at launch. It will apparently be a “special gift from Goddess Mila”, whatever that means.

For more information on each DLC pack, see below:

• DLC Pack #1 — Fledgling Warriors Pack (May 19, $7.99/£7.19/€7,99, three pieces of content): Ideal for early- to mid-game adventurers, this pack includes a new dungeon (The Astral Temple) and two new maps, great for gaining more items, money and experience points.
• DLC Pack #2 — Undaunted Heroes Pack (May 25, $9.99/£8.99/€9,99, three pieces of content): In addition to a new dungeon (The Inner Sanctum), this pack also includes two challenging new maps that stronger, more seasoned heroes will want to tackle.
• DLC Pack #3 — Lost Altars Pack (May 25, $14.99/£13.49/€14,99, 10 pieces of content): The mysterious dungeons included in this pack hold the power to upgrade characters to exclusive classes that don’t appear in the main game.
• DLC Pack #4 — Rise of the Deliverance Pack (June 1, $12.99/£11.69/€12,99, four pieces of content): Discover the previously untold history of Valentia in this Prologue pack. Complete with new story content and additional voice acting that details the rise of the Deliverance in Zofia, this collection of challenging maps includes new support conversations between selected heroes, as well as the ability to take command of a character players won’t be able to control in the main game.
• DLC Pack #5 ($5.99/ £4.49/€4,99, two pieces of content): More information about this final DLC pack will be revealed in the future.

Ubisoft has unveiled the Season Pass of its medieval hack and slash, multiplayer-leaning For Honor. Essentially, players will be able to access six new Heroes seven days early while also availing of some sweet cosmetics.

There will also be six elite outfits for said heroes; an exclusive sunbeam effect on emotes; three emblem outlines; three scavenger crates for more gear; and Champion Status, a 30 day boos which grants additional EXP and post-match loot. Each new season of Faction War will see two new heroes added and they can be purchased in-game with the currency Steel.

It should be noted that other content like new maps, modes and gear will be free for all players and spread across three seasons. You can purchase the Season Pass separately or with the Gold Edition of For Honor.

For Honor is out on February 14th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. What are your thoughts on the Season Pass? Let us know in the comments.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 will ideally be a long and rewarding experience with 100 hours of gameplay (including story missions and side quests) but there will also be post-launch DLC. What kind of value will it hold? According to director Hajime Tabata in conversation with Hardcore Gamer at TGS 2016, it will be “extremely valuable” for players.

“Once the development on the main game ends, and once we can pick up the pace on the DLC development, we’ll be sure to communicate all the details. Unfortunately at this time, we don’t have all the assets or information to do a full blown communication of what it entails. That said, that is forthcoming.

“That said, our overarching plan is confirmed in that we do want to place focus on each of the characters, not only in the episode, but making sure that their personality comes through in the gameplay as well. So that plan, overarching plan is confirmed, so we are confident to say the DLC content that we will be pushing out will be extremely valuable and our consumers will find value in what we offer.”

Final Fantasy 15 will be out on November 29th for Xbox One and PS4. The Season Pass will retail for $25 and includes six DLC packs in total.

Original plans for the Season Pass of Gears of War 4 to feature six Gear Packs have been changed. It will now begin with a 17 pack Starter Air Drop to offer more value at $39.99 according to studio head Rod Fergusson on Twitter.

There’s expected to be more content as Fergusson described this as a “sample platter” of sorts with 85 cards to take advantage of. These include Horde Boosters, Elite Packs, Operations Packs and Versus Boosters. If you’re going to purchase the Season Pass then expect all offers to updated accordingly.

Gears of War 4 will be out on October 11th for Xbox One and Windows 10 with support for the Xbox Play Anywhere feature. This allows you to purchase a digital copy on either Xbox One or PC and receive it for free on the other platform. Will you be picking it up in October? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 will be receiving a Season Pass which adds six pieces of downloadable content, some that seem more significant than others. However, that won’t be all the content that the developer has planned for its action RPG.

According to director Hajime Tabata while speaking to Gematsu, “That’s not everything. Those are what we’ve announced, something we’ve decided that we’ll certainly do.”

That would make you think that content outside the Season Pass would cost extra but Tabata noted that there’s “a lot right now that isn’t clear. If we decide to make downloadable content outside of the Season Pass we’re currently selling, then that will be the case.

There will also be new costumes and something about increasing the “cooking repertoire.” Cooking in Final Fantasy 15 is actually a mechanic as it helps bestow different benefits on your party members. How this will be expanded remains to be seen.

“Right now the top priority is polishing the main game. Once we can be finished with that, I think we can get up to speed on downloadable content and VR content.” Tabata was also certain to mention that, “Episode Prompto is different than the [PlayStation VR] content content we announced with the Season Pass.” Which means that the PlayStation VR demo for Final Fantasy 15 is not the same as the Episode Prompto DLC coming with the Season Pass.

Final Fantasy 15 is out on November 29 for Xbox One and PS4.
