OlliOlli, a 2D skateboarding game that first arrived for PlayStation Vita in January 2014, is coming to Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and Xbox One in early 2015, as announced by publisher Curve Digital in a new trailer.

Developed by British studio Roll7, OlliOlli plays like the lovechild of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Canabalt. Tony Hawk’s pursuit of stylish moves and combos is compressed into two dimensions, trading exploration for a punishing series of unlockable challenges across linear levels. The PC port, released in July 2014, featured 250 challenges, 120 tricks and grinds, and an unlockable “RAD” mode. No word yet on whether these new ports will feature any additional content.

The game has since come out on Linux, Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Windows platforms. The impending 2015 release brings the game up to date with most contemporary platforms, except for mobile phones. That’s ironic, given that the game was originally being developed for iOS before Roll7 approached Sony.

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.
