Guacamelee! is about to get bigger, better, and more badass with the release of the Super Turbo Championship Edition, developer DrinkBox Studios confirms. The gorgeous little open-world platformer came first to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in April 2013, with Windows and Mac/Linux versions following in August 2013 and February 2014, respectively. A broader console release had been rumored, and now it’s confirmed.

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition isn’t just a headline-killing-ly long name, it’s also a reference to the assortment of expanded content that will grace the PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One versions of the game. In addition to previously released DLC, this new Guacamelee! also introduces new locations in the Canal of Flowers and the Volcano, a new three-headed skeleton boss (The Trio of Death), the new INTENSO combat move, Chicken Bombs, “Independent Dimension Swapping” (whatever that means), new enemies, multiple save slots, and a “dual currency system that supports permanent item unlocks.”

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.
