Sunset Overdrive‘s first story-driven downloadable content, Mystery of the Mooil Rig, is coming to Xbox One on December 23. The add-on content takes place on the Mooil Rig (pronounced “moo-oil”, not like the officiant of a bris), an off-shore oil drilling platform that is the center of a heated turf war between heavily-armed factions of workers. Mystery of the Mooil Rig was revealed in the latest episode of Sunset TV, guest hosted by Xbox’s Major Nelson.

The new setting is entirely water-locked, so new moves like the Water Dive and Water Slambounce have been added to aid navigation (and DLC makes them available in the main game as well). There is also a host of aquatic mutants to act as fodder for the new weapons, amps, and traps you have at your disposal. And of course, the DLC is rounded out with a new map in Chaos Squad.

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

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.
