Ubisoft Canada Recaps ‘For Honor: Live Billboard Battle’

On February 11th, Ubisoft Canada hosted the Battle for Canada to celebrate the launch of For Honor. The also released a video recapping the days events:

On February 11, 2017, a war between Samurai, Knights and Vikings erupted across Canada. Canadians across the land battled each other in a bid to conquer Canada’s most coveted billboard. Their exploits were then transformed into this animated tale.

When it was all said and done, the Knight faction walked away taking over Canada. For Honor is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. I've been playing it, and putting up some videos on YouTube which you can check out.

Alto's Odyssey Gets A Teaser Trailer - Coming Later This Year

To celebrate the second anniversary of Alto's Adventure, Snowman was kind enough to give us a Alto's Odyssey teaser trailer which you can check out below:

But ultimately, in these last two years, nothing has been more humbling for us than to see fans connect with Alto and friends the way they have. From kind emails and social media messages telling us how the game has helped people discover play, or cope with anxiety, to gorgeous fan art beyond our wildest expectations, your reaction has been the greatest gift of all.

Today, that celebration continues. Rather than look back, though, we think it’s time to look forward to the horizon. And to the odyssey that awaits.

The teaser trailer confirms what we've discussed on the podcast before, Alto's Odyssey is scheduled for release this summer. Along with Where Cards Fall coming in the Fall, players will have lots of Snowman content in the later half of the year.

New Trailer For Where Cards Fall - Coming Fall 2017

Snowman announced today that Where Cards Fall will be coming Fall 2017 iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and PC. With the announcement they also delivered a new trailer which you can see below:

From the blog post, Snowman described the game a bit more in depth:

It may look cinematic, but what you’re seeing here is a real glimpse of our gameplay and story. In Where Cards Fall, you’ll build houses of cards to form and shape the world around you. These houses not only help you move through imaginative puzzles, but also bring to life vivid memories of adolescence.

This particular memory is of teenagehood in the suburbs. Filled with far more cacophonous uncertainty than the playful magic of the forests, the suburbs are home to a crucial question: who will you become? Would you rather remain comfortable at home, or venture into the world outside?

Where Cards Fall is expected to hit PC, Mac, and iOS devices this Fall, so in the meantime, make sure to download the studio's previous game, Alto's Adventure.
