Ubisoft has announced that free downloadable content for its real-time strategy game, R.U.S.E., is in the pipeline.
Titled ‘The Manhattan Project Pack,’ the new DLC will include new maps and multiplayer modes. It will be released in December on Xbox LIVE, the PlayStation Network and Steam, although the exact release date was promised soon.
Wars are won by telling lies (now that I think about it, they are often started by lies as well). Lie about having the biggest bombs and the opposition might just call it quits to fight another day. Lie about the number of soldiers, the range of your weapons or the movement of your troops, and the opposition will shake in their army boots. It’s as simple as that. R.U.S.E. is a strategy game than plays heavily on the lying part of war.
Set during World War II, the player assumes the role of Joe Sheridan, only visible in the cut-scenes, a low ranking US Army officer, and Erich von Richter, his Nazi opponent. Starting off in North Africa and making its way through Italy and into deeper Europe, you control far more than just the ambitious Sheridan. You control his entire company of soldiers, tanks, bombers and his lies. His mission: wipe out the Axis threat, and find out who the spy named Prometheus is. So, does R.U.S.E. add enough to a fairly sparse genre on console, to warrant this attention?

Despite a 58% drop in sales compared to the week previous, 2K’s mobster-themed action game Mafia II has managed to remain at the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing for the third week in a row, fending off advances from Ubisoft’s HAWX 2, as well as a host of new releases.
Demos for two of Activision’s music games have today appeared on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, ready and waiting for you to hit that download button so they can show you a grand old time.
Unfortunately, you’ll need to be an Xbox LIVE Gold member to try them out.
Additionally, a demo for Ubisoft’s strategy game, RUSE, has similarly emerged out of the shadows and into the light of Xbox LIVE. Thankfully, no Xbox LIVE Gold membership is required for this one.
Here are all the details you need:
Now this is something I didn’t know.
When Ubisoft’s RUSE becomes available in North America is just a few hours, and then on September 10th (this Friday) in Europe, the UK and South Africa, the game will include what looks to be an epic World War II themed story, complete with fantastically acted cinematic sequences.
The focus of the console and PC strategy game is, of course, on the deception-based gameplay, tasking players with outwitting their opponents on the battlefield with hastily formed schemes and long-term stratagems.
You can find out a lot more about RUSE via El33tonline’s previous coverage of the intriguing title, but be sure to watch the intense cinematic launch trailer as well:
Hot dang, we’ve got another major European PlayStation Store update on our hands!
Two massive demos for RUSE and Vanquish? Downloadable content for Bioshock 2, Split/Second and Kane & Lynch 2? Another episode of Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse? Valkyria Chronicles II for PSP? Alien Breed: Impact?
Could this update have been any better?
Well, what if I told you there were also some great price offers on a bunch of cool games, as well as the usual assortment of Rock Band and Guitar Hero DLC, plus themes, Uncharted 2 Avatars and interesting videos?
Ladies and gentleman, the update just got better.
Head on down below to see the full list of content soon to become available on the European PlayStation Store:
It’s a big week on the US PlayStation Store with the much anticipated Castle Crashers finally arriving on the PS3. There’s also a new episode for Sam & Max along with three great demos: RUSE, Vanquish and Castle Crashers.
Of course you’ll also find a whole bunch of specials on the Store as well, especially since Tik Games and Creat Studios are having a sale on all their PlayStation Network titles including Smash Cars, Magic Orbz and Wakeboarding HD.
Check out the full list of new content now available on the US PlayStation Store below:
It’s been confirmed that a demo for Ubisoft’s strategy game, RUSE, will be appearing on the PlayStation Network (PSN) in the US later today and then tomorrow on the European PSN, giving you a chance to use every ounce of deceptive ability in your possession in order to outfox your opponents on the battlefield.
Here’s what you can expect to get up to in the RUSE demo:
The annual gamescom videogame event takes place from August 18th to the 22nd this year in Cologne, Germany, and Ubisoft will be there in full force to demonstrate their upcoming slate of games to press and consumers alike.
Visitors will for the first time be able to get their hands on ten new, unreleased Ubisoft titles at the company’s gamescom booth, including Michael Jackson: The Experience for the Wii, which will be playable in public for the first time ever.
Back in April we learnt that Ubisoft’s strategy game, RUSE, would be delayed from June until late September. The delay was due to the feedback the development team received during the game’s public beta, with the publisher promising to use the extra development time to implement suggestions, improve the multiplayer experience and polish the overall game.
Now Aymeric Evennou, a Senior Community Developer at Ubisoft has updated his Twitter account with a more concrete release date, saying that “RUSE will release on September, 7th in US ; 9th in Europe territories and 10th in UK.”
Ubisoft and Steam are hosting a free preview weekend (or is that ‘Free Preview Weekend’?) this weekend for the upcoming real-time strategy game, RUSE, and if you so choose, you can start pre-loading the game right now to get ready for the action.
From Steam’s description of the preview build of RUSE on offer:
Ubisoft’s innovative-looking strategy game, RUSE, has had its release date postponed from June until late September in light of the “massive feedback” the development team received during the game’s public beta.
This extra development time will allow the team to “implement many of your suggestions and improve the multiplayer experience while polishing the overall game,” a team member posted on RUSE’s Facebook fan page.
The post went on to detail some of the improvements that would be implemented between now and September in order to ensure that “every single feature of the game is absolutely top-notch before shipping”:
Ubisoft and Eugen Systems’ intriguing real-time strategy game R.U.S.E. now has an official early June release date attached to it, but for those of you looking forward to outwitting and outplaying your opponents in the field of war, you’ll fortunately not have to wait that long as you now have access to the PC Public Beta Test through Steam.
Ubisoft announced late yesterday that Splinter Cell: Conviction, previously thought to be releasing in late February, has now been delayed until April at the earliest.
After unveiling their deceit-filled RTS, R.U.S.E., Ubisoft have released a trailer for their new game, hammering home the idea that in order to win in these battles, you’ll need to be adept at providing misinformation to your enemies, misleading them into defeat.
