Jack the Ripper Joins ‘Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’ in New VR Trailer
A familiar name returns to the streets of London today in the first major expansion for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Set two decades after the events in the main game, the just-released Jack the Ripper DLC pits the assasstwin Evie Frye against the infamous serial killer.
The latest trailer for this DLC is very different from the one we saw last week, as it can be viewed using a VR headset. Here’s how:
1 ) Use a Samsung phone and a Samsung Gear VR device. Get the Oculus app, launch the app, select Oculus videos, in the word list click on shorts, then download Assassin’s Creed Jack the Ripper VR Trailer.
2) Open the YouTube app on your Android phone, click on the Cardboard icon and watch the video with Google Cardboard.
The rest of us will have to enjoy this strange 360 degree interactive trailer.
Jack the Ripper is out now on PS4 and Xbox One. It’s also coming to PC, but not until Dec 22.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
