Bloodborne, the upcoming gothic action roleplaying game from (Demon and Dark) Souls series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki, has been delayed until March 24th, 2015, from its planned February release, according to the PlayStation Blog. Developer From Software recently held a small, closed alpha test, and based the decision to delay on the results of that early trial.

Miyazaki continues his exploration of punishing combat in dark, mysterious worlds in the move from the Souls series to Bloodborne. The upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive turns up the intensity, with more aggressive combat than its predecessor’s measured, survival focus. It also features cooperative multiplayer, both indirectly (as it exists in the Dark Souls series) and directly, so you can jump right in and fight enormous, horrible demons with friends at your side.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity has a new name and no microtransactions

Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows fighting an enemy. He's dressed in his samurai armor.

Ubisoft quietly confirmed new details on Assassin's Creed Infinity, a hub that's set to launch alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, on the franchise's official Reddit on Friday. It not only revealed that Animus Hub would be the official name, but that the rewards would be free.

The post was in response to a datamined leak (since taken down via DMCA request) that purportedly revealed a lot of information about the Animus Hub and how it would integrate with Assassin's Creed Shadows. Along with revealing the new name, we learned that the Animus Hub would include a battle pass with cosmetics that can be purchased with Isu Coins, the in-game currency. This led to people assuming that there would be microtransactions involved.
