Ubisoft Elevates 'Motherbrain' to Core Global Entity for Generative AI

Ubisoft has officially designated its generative AI initiative, 'Motherbrain,' as a global entity within the company, placing it on par with its Creative Houses and Core Services. Led by veteran producer Xavier Manzanares, the unit aims to integrate proprietary AI middleware across multiple studios to accelerate gameplay innovation. This strategic shift occurs while Ubisoft undergoes significant cost-cutting measures, including a target to save 180 million euros, and follows earlier AI projects like Ghostwriter and Teammates.

Ubisoft Milan’s Ambitious Zelda Spinoff 'Goliath' Canceled After Nintendo Rejection

Rayman Legends Retold Expands Its Musical World With a Dozen Levels

Ubisoft’s Rayman Legends Retold preserves the series’ charm while expanding its musical side to a total of twelve levels (six originals plus two new tracks inspired by Macarena and MC Hammer), all while keeping the classic 2.5D feel and accessible, family-friendly pacing. The remake is built on the UbiArt framework layered over a separate rendering engine, allowing refreshed visuals without altering core platforming. Developers emphasize intergenerational appeal and craftsmanship, framing Retold as a new starting point for Rayman rather than a cash grab. The game was delayed from October 1 to December 3, 2026, and will launch on PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.

Ubisoft Gifts For Honor Forever to Mark 40th Anniversary

Ubisoft is making For Honor – Standard Edition free to keep on Ubisoft Connect through Sept 28, 2026 to celebrate its 40th anniversary, excluding Linux users due to anti-cheat changes. The offer includes the base game with 14 heroes and both PvP and solo modes, across five factions, with over 30 heroes overall. While some praise its combat feel and visuals, others warn about the game’s online-only nature, steep learning curve, and ongoing issues, which colors the giveaway as both generous and controversial.
